I'm always amused by students cell phones. Most student bring in nifty new ones that have more features then they will ever learn to use, other bring in old beat up ones, usually because they lost/had stolen/broke their new shiny one. Such was the case today - Meredith brought it the most impressively beat up phone I have seen to date. The front screen is shattered, the paint peeling, the front over screen is missing, the antenna comes off and the back cover that protects the battery is missing. Yet by some mysterious determination to survive as a usable phone, the poor thing has held together. Now that is impressive, particularly to me since my 3 month old phone which has never taken any damage or misuse only works about ever other day ><.
