And what were you doing to fell on it? Playing rugby with it in your pocket?<br>Don't think the warranty covers accidents like that (only factory problems).

At least I've never broken any of my PPC's by dropping them. And I dropped them all. I break them by opening them up and snapping things off/out.

My warranty covers a shattered screen. Its up in November. I wonder if I should have Ideot break it for me so I can get a new one, since he is good at it.

He said "he fell on it". I just imagine the scene.<br>The only racional pocket to carry a PDA would be a shirt pocket (imho)or a jacket pocket. I refuse to consider that somebody (smart) would carry it in his/her pant's back or front pockets (of course I'm ruling out cargo pants). If it was in his shirt's front pocket, he fell on his face. With that kind of "accident" I think he's lucky that the only thing he broke was the iPAQ.
