I really like it. I like the automatic flip open....kind of like a switchblade phone. And I like the LED light....now that's a smart phone!
If somebody hear can professionally paint it purple for me I'd definitely get one.....anybody?....anybody?? Krylon Fusion would work for plastic....

iPhone 4 with an Otter Box, virtually indestructible. I am VERY hard on phones and this has been the best most reliable most useful solution EVER!!!!! I am never going back to any other phone, they really are worth the cost and the Otter Box is amazing, best case ever!

I have an iPhone 4 which I got back in november and I absolutely LOVE it. I had an iPhone 3G since they were first released and had it for 2 years, dropped it about 5 times, 3 of which were on concrete and it never broke. One of my friends dropped his iphone in the toilet (don't know how he did that) but anyways he went to an apple store told them what happened and they replaced it with a new one for free even when he hadn't bought an extra insurance plan of any kind. I Highly recommend the iphone or any apple product for that matter.

Is your friend easy on the eyes? This is Apple's explicitly stated policy on water damage:

If an iPhone or iPod has been damaged by liquid (for example, coffee or a soft drink), the service for such liquid damage is not covered by the Apple one (1) year limited warranty or an AppleCare Protection Plan (APP). iPhone models and iPod models that were built after 2006 have built-in Liquid Contact Indicators that will show (as described below) whether the device has been in contact with water or a liquid containing water.

I've known several iPhone owners who found Apple customer support to be merciless in their policies towards replacements. Maybe your friend got lucky?

Wow, Maybe with the iPhone it's different because of frequency of claims or the type of damage/issue....Dave & I have had fantastic cust serv from Apple. They replaced my graphic card which is attached to the mother board, about 6 months after my 3 yr Apple Care coverage had expired. It failed within 2 months so they replaced the mother board/graphic card again. Both replacements were refurb'ed, but I was still happy to save the $700 bucks. When we bought our iPad last year in an AppleStore, salespeople NEVER mentioned it required Snow Leopard OS. We drive home 100 miles.....
Try to connect the iPad-> we learn we need Snow Leopard.
Called the STORE manager, said he'd send out a complimentary family pack Snow Leopard OS (~$269) so we could upgrade from Tiger and use our new iPad. And sent it overnight shipping.... Unbelievable.....

I think that's likely. I've heard the same complaints for both the iPhone and iPods but have never heard anything bad about their computer service (we actually have a Mac Mini). And obviously Apple sells more iPods in a week than they probably do computers in an entire year, hence (perhaps) a more stingy policy.

My son used the MAC warranty on his computer about 15 days before it expired. Got a new computer with no hassles...I'm sold on their support!

That sales man must have some dark secret that your friend knows about and been blackmailing him

Wow, y'all going crazy on the ol' CDMA networks. I'm on my 18th Nokia, second touchphone on the Vodafone 3G network. It's the N8 - the keyboardless touch-only super-dooper-zapper-me-thingamajig. As an engineer I can be pretty rough on some of my gear particular with greasy mittens, operating a Lathe and answering the darn phone at the same time..... BUT.... IT Does almost all I need in a phone, Camera, Tom-Tom and laptop all in one. Contacts, 12 megapics Camera, HD Video recording and playback, hold my customer list, all my product images and a full pricelist, and an extensive Part Assembly Database.

And all that in a small pouch on my belt.... hard to beat....

Say a prayer for them poor buggers in Christchurch!

Waiting for my claim to process....

**Bob Barker** · 03/04/2011, 05:04 PM

So there was a glitch, a big glitch, with my insurance claim... the insurance apparently did not start until the day after I filed the claim.. I'm not happy about it.

I will not be looking on Ebay for a replacement screen and hope I can get it installed correctly. So any help with finding the correct part/parts would be much appreciated!

and install tips as well!

Read that a couple of times myself, and I "think" he didn't mean to put the word "not" there......I think he meant to type "now".
