Can't call since cell phone is broken

I went out on a great first date with a guy on a Friday so I was surprised when I didn't hear from him by Wednesday. So I decided to call him and see what's up and he told me that on Saturday, he dropped his cell phone and the screen went completely black. Thus, he can't see who's calling him, he can't retrieve his messages, he can't place calls, etc. but could only receive calls. He has no home phone either apparently. I wasn't sure whether I should believe him but I told him to call me next week (that weekend was Christmas weekend). He said he's not sure if he'll get it fixed or replaced by then and he told me to call him instead on Christmas weekend. I told him that I'm not going to be calling him during the holidays and that I'd call him after Christmas. So then he insisted that I call him any time if I'm bored or lonely, etc., to which I snickered and said okay. So I called him this Tuesday and got his answering machine and left a message, but unsure if he could even retrieve the message, I called him yesterday afternoon. It turns out he still did not get his phone fixed and now he's across the country on business with his boss and won't be coming back until the beginning of next week. I told him to call me when he gets back in town but now I'm not sure if he will given that he seems to be in no rush to get his phone working.
My question is, should I even bother calling this guy anymore if I don't hear from him next week? You'd think if your phone wasn't working right, you would get it fixed or replaced pretty soon and not wait almost 2 weeks to do it. I know he has the money to. I feel like I may be being played for a fool and don't want to keep caling him if that's the case. I also don't want to appear desperate but I really enjoyed our date together so I don't know if I should throw the towel in or not. What's your advice?

Leave him alone to call you- if you don't think he has your number, be assured it will show up on his next cell phone bill, so he'll have no reason not to call.
Let it go. He knows how to reach you if he really wants to. Onward and upward to someone with a working phone.
I know you are trying to be the "good girl",
