QUOTE(FamousLastWords @ May 22 2012, 03:01 AM) My defy+ got bitten by my colleague's dog when I was drunk on the porch when i got back from drinking. screen has a major crack and the back cover has holes BUT the phone survived and is still working like a charm! There are some parts of the screen which is not responsive to touch anymore..gotta rotate it sideways to type some letters. Can i send it to brightstar? will it cost a bomb? dayumn.. drillz provided.. omg, i though its unbreakable gorilla screen? u should screw motor for it let me no how much u repair i getting a defy soon, do yr guys think its still worth it? i dun request high speed high gaming but just durability

i would say, a new one is still ok, or a second hand one with new batteries. phone still great after 15 months, but battery lifespan can see shorter liao. probably can hit my 2 years usage minimum for phones, but i guess another new battery, can drag the phone life to 3 years, or at least until backside itchy for new phone la.
it's a great phone for it's price and durability, but with 1GB RAM everywhere now, looks like it's the new standard for apps usage rather than 512MB.

I've dropped mine for few times, fortunately most on the carpet and wood surface, protected with the cheap casing. so far the phone is still in good condition. Perhaps keeping your phone with stock rom will keep the harm out of the way?

I decline. is there anyway to permanent disable the 'stupid' 3g

better to use an app to monitor which app is accessing the internet, and possibly, control the app access to the internet. try the droidwall free version, or you can get the pro version if you want to (however you want, paid or non paid)
if not, just stop using 3g is off data access thru settings>mobile network>data
