If I were you I would never let my phone travel unattended.

7.5 years is nothing! Laugh | :laugh:

My HP HW6915 must have lasted me for 9 or 10 years, and still had several weeks of battery life when it was retired, fully working, in favour of an Android phone (that works inside the house, because it's on Vodafone).

Well, at least I could take mine out of it's box and use it!

Did you ever try unpacking yours, or was that the only way it could survive? Laugh | :laugh:

I'm joking about iPhone break-ability: they scratch, melt in the rain, crack, bend, or catch fire in extreme cases! Laugh | :laugh:

And yes, I know that's not true of all of them...

OK. Well, I did threw on the ground a few times and it never missed, but the (protection) case just held fine (and so did the glass thankfully Smile | :)

Have you considered putting in an ad for an old 2110 Nokia Panzerphone?
Might be pricey though, they'usually bought by handymen and hipsters.

You haven't lost a phone, you've gained a remote control and/or a numeric keypad for a laptop.

I picked up a new iPhone 6 Plus.

It will not connect to Wifi. At all. Regardless of how many times I reboot everything, update everything, yell at everything.

Apple's software, particular thread handling with UIs and network connectivity, is now simply embarrassing given the resources available to them.

The phone goes back to the store at lunchtime.

cheers

It's the access points fault.
Trust me on that, I'm told so by my wife.
That everything else works fine is totally besides the point.

try changing your balance. If you sit more on your left butt cheek, it's orange and white. The right butt cheek will make it blue and black. if you equal out it will turn brown/gray all around... Roll eyes | :rolleyes:
