If Timex Made Cell Phones

My dog ate my cell phone.

I found pieces of it all over the back yard.

I tried to put it back together again. I felt like all the king's men.

To my surprise, I turned it on, and it worked. Some of the buttons are permanently stuck. Some keys send two different characters. And there is a gash in the screen. But it works well enough for me to get my contacts out of it.

I have the $4 Sprint insurance, which doesn't pay for this sort of thing. If I had the $7 Sprint insurance, it would. After a $50 deductible.

I've wanted to try a Motorola Q, so I bought one through Craig's List. But now I can't test the J2ME version of Mobile Find.
