I sat on my Palm back at the work Christmas party. A Palm being a small but expensive little computer as opposed to a tree or an anatomical part. The screen fractured. I’d only had it for a month or two, but fortunately it had been the replacement for an identical one that had died mysteriously with an intact screen. So I switched the screen over and was happy as larry until I dropped that one face down in the car and cracked the screen. So I got another one off ebay. Last week I ordered a screen protector for it (the stylus can be a bit scratchy). It arrived on Friday, I fitted it, and by Sunday morning I’d managed to crack the screen again. So now I have 3 dead Palms, all with broken screens, all with so-called “screen protector”s. Hrrmph.
I’m considering a file-o-fax.

why not have a word with messrs palm? these screens are clearly not up to scratch and you’ve got more crack than pete doherty.
three defunct ones would indicate, to me at least, that they are ‘not fit for the purpose’ etc.
ask them for an unsmashable one or your money back on all three.
you have shown your good faith. now it’s time for them to demonstrate their respect for you, the customer.
harrrumph!
What the hell are you doing to them? I’ve had Palms for about 6 years and never broken one. That includes the one that had a glass of water tipped on it (courtesy of a cat) and the one that I left on the car roof which subsequently fell off at 30mph (the Palm, not the car roof).
Quite. My Vx lasted for YEARs.
I blame the so-called “screen protectors”. The third one in a row was too much for a coincidence… :-)
