Man have I been there. Sucks the big one. I dropped my first iPod but it landed perfectly flat and fried the HD. When it landed it did no physical damage so I was able to get it warrantied //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif
I still have the replacement and it works great (2nd gen from 2001)
