Dimensions' loiterer
My phone has been a paperweight almost all day. After it wouldn't start normally, it locked up in the special access (or whatever you call it-- where you can reset to factory mode and so on) screen. Had to let it sit there until the battery ran down and hopefully it has shut itself off. Will charge it up when I get home, then see what happens.
In particular annoyed because:
a) I've only had if for about a year and a half, but I bought it from a store (not a carrier) and the manufacturer warranty is only a year, so I'm on my own.
b) I probably use my phone to come to Dims about 3x as often as a computer these days, so I may be extra-slow on responses and moderating for a bit, if it really is dead. (well, next step would be taking it to someone and give them a few days to confirm that they can't fix it either, then have to go buy something ... so I'm guessing a high chance I'll be phoneless for a couple of weeks.
