So, long story short...

While Lui Carvalho was trying to break my company's phone

Lui Carvalho made the mistake of

not researching what phone would I be given as a replacement

My Advice to You is

to do some reserach before taking any action

Here's the whole story

At the company I work, if you break your phone ‘by accident’, they replace it with a new one. Since I have the older version of the BBs floating around, I thought it would be wise to break it so they could replace it with a brand new one.

I struggled for weeks with the idea of breaking my phone until my roommate (yeah the same one who wants to raise my rent!) ‘accidentally’ pushed my phone into the sink. That was it! For my delight, the phone was no longer working. I ran to the office and told the technician lady that I had a small 'accident' and that I needed a new phone.

I was giggling, thinking I would get a NEW PHONE, when she opened this drawer with 8 other used phones and handed to me: "Here you go. You are set again".

After weeks of struggle wondering if I should break my phone in order to get a new one, I ended up getting the same crappy device I had before.
