Magnet Crashed Laptop Harddrive - Twice!

WARNING: OWNERS YOU MUST READ THIS
Love Hate Relationship!

I love this powerful windows mobile device. Using real apps like Slingplayer, Fring, Tom Tom Nav 6 and Core Video player.

I hate the fact that it took 2 hardrives in my Macbook Pro before i realize that I was sitting the device too close to the Mac hard drive.
Why should this matter?
Because of that HUGE keyboard Magnet.

It totally ruined the hard drive and I had no clue what was going on until I recently thought thru my exact steps.
- I sat the 7510 on the mac during a bluetooth transfer.

WATCH OUT- Don't put your 7510 in your casually in your bag next to your laptop either!!!!

- HTC - you need a WARNING Sticker to let everyone know about this big problem.

I did the same thing! Only not with a HTC phone, just a plain old magnet. Don't leave them anywhere near hard drives! Lost some photos but luckily I back up semi-regularly!
