"I jet out of the front of the store to my car just to realize that I had from the front of the store to my car dropped my precious 7100i," writes HowardForums member b2k380. " I got back out of the car while getting drenched and found her laying face down in a puddle of water and getting rain pounded out of her back."
Note how b2k380 calls his 7100i "she." Or whatever.
"I knew she was toast but tried anyway, it worked but i still took it to Nextel and they sent me a new one," he writes, (but) today while attempting to charge her something seemed wrong I have had it on the charger and it seems to be full but when i look on the status page it says 80%, it went up to 85% then back to 80% while still on charge.
