Adios, Audio! AKA Problems with the headphone jack.

There I was, actually in a GOOD MOOD for a change, when BLAMMO!!!!, the slight, niggling problem with the 2.5mm audio jack on my Xphone II decided to change all that by becoming an insurmountable impediment between me and my usual "stick buds in ears and ignore the masses" approach to the trip home from work.

Well, I can tell you I'm a none-too-happy-puppy now.

You see, that's the problem with integrated devices. If one component fails, you the entire machine while the problem is being addressed.

Anybody who's enjoyed a faulty TV/VCR combo knows what I'm talking about.

Anyway, all those complaints I've been reading online about manufacturing and/or design problems with HTC-made devices are beginning to worry me.

So that's me, humming to myself until I find time to drop the phone in at the dealer and await whatever surprise is next on the menu.

Hey! I know! Who wants me to start a blog about my trusty old Nokia 6310i?
