Want to know what happens to a phone when it gets runover by no less than three cars?

It still works.

Gripping story inside.

Victim:
Mr. Ishida of Kyoto

Scene of Accident:
Pedestrian Crossing next to JR Osaka Station

Broken Item:
NTT DoCoMo Paldio 642S

Details of Accident:
I was o­n the way home after eating out with a friend, and while crossing at the pedestrian crosswalk, a young girl called out to me, "you dropped your phone?" Sure enough, I turn around, and there is my phone in the road. The signal had already changed; I looked o­n with dozens of others as I witnessed my phone break as it was run over by three cars in the 90 seconds it took for the signal to change again.

Damage Amount:
When looking over the phone when I got home, the body itself was quite beat up. Yet there were no problems with the backlight, receiving calls, or what I was most concerned about, the ability to get my phone book data out of it. o­ne of my friends gave me his "Paldio 633S" that he had retired, and there don't appear to be any obstacles keeping me from putting it into practical use again.

More From the Contributor:
While of course it's a shame about the phone itself, I was extremely saddened because of the damage to my "Glow Ring" strap that I had directly imported from England. I would now like to take the opportunity to thank both the girl who called out to me while crossing the street, and the two dudes behind me who said "that ***** sucks man."
