iPhone

I found it interesting that most cell phones that are broken are lost in water. Toilets mainly. The iPhone has something inside that says if it has been damaged by water and you can't claim insurance/etc on it.

most phones have had this for awhile; usually they're under the battery cover, small white piece a little smaller than the diameter of a pencil eraser, will turn reddish-pink if humidity gets too high

i loaned my phone to my little bro for a couple of days and he fell asleep on his couch with his head in his arms and the phone below, just his breathing tripped the dot

Well I got denied. I was told I couldn't even pay full price, I had to pay the no conrtact price which is something insane like $499. I'm not much of a hagler so I just said whatever and left. I'll try another store.

No surprise, they don't give a shit about you. Why should they? You're already under contract. I highly doubt you'll have better luck at another store.

Matty, lemme just say first that getting an iphone would be the best decision you would ever make. You MUST at some point get one!

I understand you don't wanna play full price, so a possible alternative might be to switch providers. There are a lotta rumors circulating that Verizon is going to get a version of the iphone for the CDMA network. There was this report from USA today yesterday...

AFP: Verizon, Apple discussing iPhone: USA Today

I don't what you think of AT&T but the only reason i switched from Verizon (after many years) was because of the iphone. Otherwise, i loved their service.

I figured someone who is ready to drop a few bills along with a more expensive contract might get some attention.

One would think. This isn't just an ATT problem either, it's with all carries.

I forgot about Craiglist

Smooter · 04-28-2009, 02:29 PM

One more thing. I would recommend calling your provider and asking what the difference will be in your phone bill. I cant recall how much more it was for me a month but I want to say around 30-40 bucks, but that's also with unlimited data and text.

Here's a question, my wife is currently eligible for an upgrade. Can I upgrade her line and just swap out the sim cards so I can use the iphone?
