Cause and Effect. Dropping a Bold.

August 17, 2008 - 10:21 pm No Comments

That first crack ALWAYS hurts the most. It almost feels like dropping your new born right on his head. You feel horribly and sickly and the angst and pain doesn’t go away as easily as kissing a booboo. It looks like our good friend BGR has dropped and cracked his BlackBerry Bold for the first (and hopefully last) time.

Taking the plunge, he doesn’t even hesitate to inform the world of his suffering. To no one’s surprise, the unprotected Bold won’t stand up too well to pavement, gravel, or tile, whathaveyou, when dropped from as little as two feet — maybe this is where a real metal bezel would come in handy, right RIM?

BGR doesn’t go into whether or not any essential functions of the Bold were rendered useless but I’d take him up on his advice if I were you.

Buy a condom skin for the Bold. As big and ugly as it makes the device, you’ll appreciate it in the end.
