Regular viewers may remember that having generously donated my iPhone 1g to Mrs Wierdostomps in order to update to a 3g, I promptly left it on a train. With swift effeciency, O2 took £110 off me and sold me a re-furb 3g.
I noticed last week that my third iPhone was seemingly stuck in silent mode, so I took it to the Genius Bar this afternoon where a pimply youth looked at it with a magnifying glass and proclaimed "Water Damage." There is an indicator inside the headphone socket which turns red if the phone has got wet.
Sure enough, I got caught in a thunderstorm whilst out jogging last week. Guarantee null and void. Apple won't repair it, but will sell me a new one for £139. Oh, and I can't use this as my excuse to upgrade to a 3GS without buying myself out of my contract.
So, I'm just waiting for a phone call from my insurers to tell me whether I can go ahead and buy iPhone number 4, or whether I have to be very nice to Mrs Wierdostomps and downgrade to my old iPhone 1g - which I still think it is the prettiest, but doesn't have GPRS for when I'm jogging - but perhaps I'd better buy a 'disposable' Shuffle for that?

Well although you did not want it, you have it.

Thanks to a very nice insurance company, fourth iPhone is now in pocket. Anyone beat four?

Knowing that you are a man of faith Mr Stomps perhaps you should request some divine protection for this one.

Well, I have invested 45 of your earth pounds in a case which is guaranteed waterproof to 9metres and a set of waterproof headphones! As you know, my faith is fairly earthly!
