Did you ensure the battery was inserted/seated properly. It may have poped out when you dropped the thing.

Does it just not turn on... blank screen?

Wow, that's a stretch. You broke the device. They offered you a new one for less than half price of a new one and you feel they are "thumbing their nose" at you?

Has everything you bought that came out with a new/improved model had a nice trade in deal of some kind?

Did you tell them that you did nothing different than the "drop test" that they showed on video when the K1 first came out?

Were you nice to the CS rep, or did you give him the same attitude your post seems to have?
