Well, my Elm's display glass shattered completely when I dropped it at work by accident. Since I don't feel like sending it to the factory to get it repaired (which is probably quite costly, and could take up to months), I decided I'm going to buy myself a new phone. I'll probably go for the Hazel this time.
I had considered the Xperia X8, but decided not to get that one due to a lack of LED flashlight and a rather worthless camera unit.

oops sorry to hear that. i'm not against your decision but a switch to android based phone will gain new interesting experience and for that matter x8 is not that bad....

Hazel has a yellowish flash, but I'm not sure about the newer ones produced recently, maybe they've fixed it, anyway on the other hand you get a better and bigger screen.

Sorry to hear about that i dropped by Elm many time but guess i was lucky to have just the paint come off form the upper corners

Now, that sucks.
I've dropped my phone twice face down and the screen is unscathed.
About the X8, nice Android phone, I could consider it if it has a better camera + flash. But, at least you got Android.

The Elm is now only £50 in Carphonewarehouse stores now

I've ordered the Hazel, at the last shop that still sells the phone here in Belgium.
It'll arrive within three to four days!

Question: I've used PC Companion to make a backup of my Elm's data. When I recieve my Hazel, is it possible to restore my Elm's backup on the Hazel?

Haha yeah the same thing with mine, dropped it once at a high speed, and it came out of my pocket face first. Dropped it again and it got some more. Now I'm using it with a cracked screen, but there is no way I'm replacing it. Its the best crappy looking but secretly awesome phones in the market. Everythings amazing about it, and I dunno what I would replace it with. Perhaps maybe another one since they're pretty cheap now.

I've been using the Hazel for a while now and I've to say it's a pretty cool phone, and it has a magnificent display!

These two phones are awesome, very tough. Dropped my phone a number of times and just got a few scratches on the silver back cover. It's rather weird how you got the glass to break. Btw, I just dropped my Elm a few days ago into a bucket full of water and submerged it. It stayed on the whole time!
Turned it off, let it dry for a few minutes and voila! Works like nothing happened.
