How many times have you heard one of your colleagues saying that a certain BlackBerry saved his life? Well what if someone told you that a RIM handset was exactly the piece of mountain equipment needed to save a man from falling over 700 feet and most likely dying?

David Fitzherbert is the guy in question. He was skiing in Switzerland when he dropped for about 70 feet until he was finally trapped between two rocks thanks to its Berry in his breast pocket. That extra thickness saved him for continuing the drop towards an imminent death. Simply amazing! Not to mention that RIM can use a whole different selling pitch now: BlackBerry Saves Lives!

From now on remember to pack your smartphone whenever you’re going on vacation, no matter what your friends tell you. And no matter if you’re not going to have good reception!

Bet you didn’t even consider to this day how much it would cost to have your iPhone’s screen repaired in case of defect or accidents. For the record, the repair for such a part of an iPhone cost around $109.99. This price is the regular price from iPhone Screen 3G Repair. But now, placing into consideration the economy, they have lowered their prices to only $69.99. That is quite a savings you can get in case one of the most delicate part of your iPhone would get damaged.

One cannot tell when their iPhones would suddenly need LCD repairs or replacement. Being one of the most used part of the phone to make it work, it is not surprising that it may be one of the parts owners should be taking care of. And thanks to this price drop and special promotion, at least people can now address such a repair without worrying about the cost. Some may even give up and shelve their phone or worst, sell them at prices which may not even be worthy for an iPhone3G.

If you have fallen into the unfortunate problem of breaking your iPhone 3G glass or LCD unit, please visit iPhone 3G Screen Repair at http://www.iphone3gscreenrepair.com to act on this limited time offer.

I don’t know if you were aware of this but iPhones and water don’t exactly mix well. Let me tell you more about it! CNN has all the facts about it. It seems like a certain Kristile Cain returned an iPhone to the local Apple Store when the headphone jack wasn’t working properly. And they would have replaced the handset but the Genius guy noticed that moisture indicator. She said the phone has never been in water. But what Kristile did was to take showers in the same room her iPhone usually rests. Either she’s taking long showers and she likes to be able to answer those hundreds of incoming calls or she has no clue about how water works. Next time she should probably keep the iPhone out of the bathroom. And no, water doesn’t work in mysterious ways; it’s God that does that!
