Black plastic deaf dumb and blind

I love my Sidekick II but it's been misbehaving for the last month. It keeps losing its signal until the day I say I'm finally going to take it in to the store, and then it behaves itself. Then I ask the dude if this is some kind of nefarious plan to get me to buy a Sidekick III and he swears no.

I LOVE my Sidekick II. I haven't even had it for year yet because I bought it to copy Jane. Well actually that after I saw hers in person and operational I was like whoa, I want one. So I was a big lame copier, but also that we don't live in the same place anymore :'( so that made it less lame. I think.

But I looooooove my Sideckick II. I don't want to get a Sidekick III because they're only updated in ways I don't need, and they're not all bulky and huge which I LIKE, and plus mine is all nice and chipped up and broken in, now I'm afraid quite literally so. I can't even justify getting one for the limited edition versions that just came out because the limited edition ones quite frankly suck.

So what happened today is my bottle of eyeglass cleaner popped open and totally soaked the LCD screen of my Sidekick II and it looks like some kind of 3D lenticular rendering of a Robert Motherwell Elegy which is kinda awesome but at the same time does not lend itself well to the cellular phone and messaging device experience.

I'll see if the hair dryer helps it but if not it'll be my least durable cell phone ever. It's only the third phone I've ever had in eight years. But it's also the only phone I've ever used nearly every single day I've had it, so I guess that counts for something.

Now if I get a new one and THAT one keeps dropping a signal, I'll be oooooooh I will be so heated.
