The lazy nerds way of fixing the Droid

Have a hands-on with the Motorola Droid a.k.a Milestone and you realise that the battery cover is a literal example of the term "slip-on cover". Pulling the phone out of our pocket without the battery cover is becoming more of a routine for Droid owners. So, what’s Verizon doing about the problem? Well, from what we’re hearing, if you should take your Droid to a Verizon store and complain, they’ll “fix” the handset with a “Verizon Wireless” sticker. No joke.

The “fix” was posted by Flickr user Anticitizen after he ventured into a Verizon store to find out if there was an official solution to the battery door problem. Turns out, all his DROID needed was a little TLC and a band-aid.

My Next Phone: The Search begins

 The Nokia N95 which had been my primary phone for the past 3 years has started to give in to the effects of time. As of today it has a changed slider (2008), a display strip swap(2009), a ear piece swap(2009), and 3 fascia changes. The insides resemble a war torn land with a plethora of scratches and stains. Pictures are too filled with gore to be published here comfortably. Yet I still loved the phone..

But yesterday it started giving me button problems and when this problem crops up in the middle of typing a message frustration sets in. And so I decided it was high time to get me a new handset, and thus I enter the market.

My Needs:

1. Big screen.
2. Make that a big touch screen.
3. Atleast a 5 MP camera.
4. Above average music playback through the 3.5mm jack.
5. Good text input.
6. Must fit in my jeans.
7. Stable OS.
8. Within 500$
