I'm getting clumsy in my old age.
Less than a month after getting my E815, it breaks. Ok, well, at a hockey game today, I was juggling too much (nachos, drink, tickets, etc.) and tried to take a photo. Ended up throwing the phone to the ground instead. Completely toast, I can't seem to persuade it to power up. Ironic, since I just enabled Bluetooth OBEX stuff last night and voided my warranty.
The Charlotte Checkers hockey game, on the other hand, was pretty fun.
Oops :)
Personally, I think the use of "ironic" is perfectly appropriate. The definition, #2 or #3, fits with the sentence you constructed. You are saying that the telephone ended up on the ground after you apparently did not expect anything to happen to it when you voided your warranty. This then becomes the "incongruity between what might be expected and what actually occurs."
