It looks like I will have to retire my iPhone this week. This phone is probably the most abused piece of hardware I've ever owned. Since it does almost everything from calls to music, from personal finance to Angry Birds, my wife and kids use it all the time.

However, this was dropped too many times already that the back is heavily scratched, the chrome plate and the glass front has a split about a millimeter apart on 1 side, there's a big bump on 1 corner, the receiver's sound has gone soft and the antenna's no longer catching a signal at certain parts of our house. Other than that it still works as a good time waster for the kids.

Since I can't afford to buy a new iPhone yet (I've tweeted before that my next iPhone will probably be called iPhone 9!), I will have to settle with a Nokia E63 + iPod Touch combo. Nokia for calls and texts, the iPod Touch for everything else.

Also, allow me to point out that it is called an iPod Touch, not iTouch.
