    "Phones do not bounce well"

    I've left my work phone (Motorola Milestone) all over the A15 on my
    way to work today as I didn't realise that my pocket was open on my
    jacket. I only found out when another biker, who was behind me, told
    me that he'd seen it bouncing into bits in his path.

    Bugger.

  8. Are they any good ? (obviously not based on the current state of
    yours)

    Due an upgrade soon. I'd read some pretty rave reviews and one of the
    chaps here loves his.

    My iphone said hello to a cattle grid, as far as I can tell. Same
    trick - slightly open pocket!

    Whichever fucking idiot at BMW decided that a top box should be hinged
    at the *rear* is partly responsible for my Tayberry jacket ejecting
    somewhere between home and work yesterday.

    Of course, the lid then shut again, leaving me staring stupidly at the
    (lack of) contents in the office car park wondering whether premature
    senility had struck.

    They're not bad at all as it goes. Battery is a bit shit when used
    intensively. The new milestone 2 is supposed to be much better.

    I saw another prototype phone with the latest version of Android
    today. Half the weight of an iPhone, larger screen and 8Mp camera.
    Wait a week or so, and it'll be out.

    I'm glad I have a solo office. I'm rocking with laughter at that
    second paragraph.

    I were driving on the A36 a few weeks back and taking a roundabout
    noticed something flying at the speed of light along the dashbord and
    out of the open window. It was my glasses case. Not one fucker tried to
    avoid them.

    As my K's box hinges in the right place, I suspect that Sweller mong
    has mounted yours back-to-front.

    He really hasn't. It has a built-in back rest.

  19. Wotcha.
    I found this out when my work's phone jumped from the Enfield top box.
    I noticed the phone had gone and thought the only place it could have
    happened was at a raised zebra crossing, so I went back and there was the
    remains of the phone sitting in the gutter. Wishing to learn from this, I
    made sure the phone was kept in my pocket. Hmm - seems I didn't quite learn
    well enough, for as I turned left into the pub car park one evening, the
    work's phone made another bid for freedom - this time bouncing off the
    trike's running board and ending up under the rear wheel. I took a
    photograph of what was left of the phone and emailed to my gaffer, with the
    words "My phone appears to have stopped working. Any ideas ?" Luckily he
    has a sense of humour.

    Hmm. Bits of Motorala phone ingrained in the pavement stones over a mile
    of A15. Appropriately named, no?
