Time to Fix it?

Exactly three months ago, I wrote about how I managed to accidently destroy my cellphone - an instrument that I was never too fond of in the first place. But in all honesty, it really was an accident!

I also said that I would be trying to fix the broken screen of that wretched phone by purchasing  a replacement that I found on ebay. Although my annoyances with that phone were increasing as time progressed, I still wanted to fix it for shits and giggles! I knew from the very moment the phone broke that I had an excuse...for it was time to move on....upgrade my phone...and evolve (I assume only one of my buddies will understand the reason I use this word). 

As I was hunting for a suitably priced replacement screen for my LGU990, I was fortunate enoogh to also find my next phone, or should I say my iPhone! The 32 Gig iPhone I currently use has been my baby for about 2 months now. I can say without any doubt that purchasing the iPhone was one worthy upgrade. I often admire Apple for the way they implement complex ideas in an elegant manner. The more I use the iPhone and applications, the more I realize what an amazing machine it is. The Shapwriter application is one such application that brings out so much potential on worthy smartphones.

Also, it has been over a 45 days since I received the replacement screen for my damaged LG phone. Before I ordered the screen, I patiently took the phone apart to make sure I was ordering the correct component. Although I now know that the component I purchased is exactly what is needed, I don't seem to be motivated enough to see that phone function again. In fact, until today, the very thought of making an effort to fix the dismal LGU990 while my iPhone lays on my desk...inviting me to discover more features is actually rather demotivating. 

However, as I write this post I am feeling the urge to get the repair over with since I did make a $30 investment on the replacement screen anyway. Hopefully in my next blog post I will have pictures of a fully functional LGU990 taken from the very majestic iPhone.

Assuming I successfully fix the broken LGU990, what the future holds in store for it is rather unclear.
Suggestions are welcome
