i plan to send the shattered remains of that phone back to AT&T
in case they think that my small claims suit is a way to get myself
a low-cost phone by proving that they violated the contract first.

besides which, i hated the phone.  i couldn't get it out of my
pocket without hitting the voice-call button.  the asynchronous
nature of the java-based UI meant that the softkeys often changed
what they meant while i was trying to press one.  what a total 
piece of garbage.
