My friend broke my phone!

She opened it like a flip phone. It's not a flip phone. It's a swivel phone!

    to the over-50 crowd here...

    Sorry. If you're not willing to learn (and since you're reading Salon, you should be smart enough to be capable of learning) then you deserve all the snide over-50 remarks you get. This woman refused to learn to operate a particular model of cell phone AND a snowmobile properly, and when confronted will probably shrug and say, "I'm over 50, what do you expect?" It's so typical of so many older people to expect the world to simply acquiesce to the crystallization of their grey matter as though it were an inevitability. When I'm fifty, so help me God, if I turn out to be like this, I will drink a bottle of Draino.
