JokeImpressive self-destruct feature in WP 8.1 update. Pin

I have had my Nokia Lumia 920 since it came out almost two years ago. On Saturday I was finally able to retrieve and apply the Windows Phone 8.1 update.

Overall I like the new features (it is a lot easier to use the CodeProject mouse-hover menus), but as I came home today, got out of my car and grabbed the car door to close it, I was zapped by the mother of all static electricity discharges.
That startled me so much that I instinctively pulled my hand away. The hand that was holding my phone. The phone that took flight and landed glass-down on my garage floor several meters away and continued sliding along as if it was one of those curling stone thingies.
Yeah, the glass is broken Cry | :(( , but everything still seems to work.

That is the first time I have dropped my phone since I got it. Since my car has that SYNC stuff (also developed by Microsoft), it seems very, very suspicious. It's like those spam emails - I mean, how do they know Blush | :O .

Anyway, the phone still works, but I am sure a much smaller second impact will change that in an instant. So I guess I have to check how soon I will be able to upgrade.

[Note: I put the joke icon on this post to ease the minds of the paranoid among us. I really did drop my phone as I described, but I think the static electricity incident has a natural explanation.]
