Yesterday I went down to the river with my friend to enjoy the absolutely wonderful weather. It was in the mid-80s, low humidity and the sun was shining. Sat out on the rocks and had a great afternoon. Until we leave.

On the way back, I slipped on a rock and dropped my shirt in the water and got pretty wet. Otherwise ok, I got up and proceeded on. Not ten feet away, I slipped again. This time much harder. I dropped everything in the water, including my phone. I fished it out about 30 seconds later, but it was already off. Now, some 15 hours later, it still wont turn on (but it makes a rather loud buzzing sound when you try to put the battery in). I have declared my G1 dead.

This morning, I remembered I still had my crappy Motorola KRZR lying around. Found it, popped in the SIM card (after some struggling, I couldn’t remember where the SIM card went) and plugged it up–thank god for universal mini-USB chargers these days. Can’t find the battery, so I’ll hop over to T-Mobile later today and buy a fresh one. Hopefully this will all hold together until I can afford a new G1. I don’t like the MyTouch, so I’d rather stick with the G1 for now–unless the Hero comes out soon.

Oh yeah, and I woke up kinda sick this morning. Figures.
