My etouch i300 phone just died!

It fell off about 1+1/2 feet and the glass screen cracked. Personally, I may not like it but I still felt something lost when that happened! It cost me 5K I think and it lasted less than nine months.
The only feature I like was the built in radio, but I dont listen much to stations as they lull me to sleep. There are so many design flaws in this phone, purportedly designed in Korea and manufactured in China like
  • you discover it dialed a number when you keep it inside a bag because the button portrude, losing all your paid prepaid card charges!
  • you lost battery power quickly because the ON-OFF switch turns on by itself when you put it in your pocket or inside a bag.
  • you cannot see the screen in broad daylight.
  • you cannot put a handstrap because there is no eye-let.
Goodbye, if there is any lesson learned, buy a strongly branded one, they are more rugged, better designed, and can stand accidental drops more often.
