Posted: Tue, 16th Dec 2008 00:01 Post subject: I just bought an iPhone 3g! |
|
 |
Yeh, so I've been dealing with this C902 for a while now, and to be honest i've forgotten why I bought it...
It's difficult to text due to a very firm keypad, and the best internet browsing experience I can get is Opera Mini. On top of this, i've also been carrying around a 16gb iPod Touch.
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. I decided i'd buy a iPhone 3g 16gb and sell my C902 and Touch...
Luckily, I just noticed a 20% off voucher in my eBay inbox - w00t I thought. The search began for a legit iPhone 3g 16gb sale - I found one - but it was white... Who cares I thought! It has a 7 month warranty with the Apple store, however it was replaced (under warranty in November) so the phone itself is a month old.
Furthermore, it's only been used for 2 weeks (as a spare - rich cunt!) and the pictures support this.
So, I see the white iPhone - listed at £400. Now, I know this is more than the new RRP price since the tax cut, but it doesn't matter as i've got a 20% voucher. I put in an offer at £350 and it's auto accepted - great! £350 - 20% = £270.
Let's just hope it turns up - cannot wait! (p.s the seller seems legit- but you can never be 10000% with ebay.) (she's covered for £500 paypal protection anyway so I'm not worried).
w00t - see you on the other side! (on wednesday when it arrives)

gratz! I was considering iphone for sometime but i have somewhat fat fingers and it would make texting not soo much fun considering i use about 3k a month
bought sidekick that has qwerty keyboard to make it all easier
iphone is actually not that bad phone but lacks bluetooth, people just hate it b/c it carrier apple name, although my friend has it his get unlocked and after he upgrade firmwire to 2.1 he had to spent another 50$ to get it unlocked again ;p
ohh and get this application that when you shake the phone, picture of naked women uncovers...just like you were to fap..good stuff

Hmm is my maths wrong 20% £350 Should = £280. Not £270
10% of £350 = 35 so 20% will = 70
350 - 70 = 280

Errrr. go drown
Apple is pwn! I'm planning on buying touch 16gb!
I dunno bout you guys, but walking around a starbuck seeing all those nerdy college girls sporting their MACBOOKS it beats looking around a local net cafe for some over sized wow whale.

Why would I carry around a C902 phone and a iPod Touch when I can combine carry around one device at a similar cost?

I have one of the 2G iPhones and I don't regret buying it for a single second. Awesome device.

I saw commercial about Samsung M8800 Pixon. It looks wicked (and the 8MP camera!?). Altho I don't like touchscreens, they seem fragile...

The G1.  |
I just bought my girlfriend the G1 like a couple of weeks ago, we've been having a lot of fun with that too.
I don't like the actual design too much, but the slideout keyboard is pretty solid and of course Android is an up and comer.
So I can vouch for the coolness of the G1 also.

Was gunna get one of these but decided not to. Fuck it. When my current cell breaks, I will grab one (or whatever the best one is at that time).
No point in wasting money on a new phone when my current on works fine.
Congrats Dee
Lets hear about some features, if you dont mind bud

Well Syco, i'm not sure i'm going to be able to do much. The iPhone is on 2.2 so I'm assuming I can't install Cydia / jail break it. I don't know much about jailbreaking anyway, and haven't really seen a good argument for doing it either...

Im not talking like added features you technie
Just the outta the box features. What kinda shit does it have? Ive only seen it on commercials and they dont go into detail.
Ive been thinking of gettin one myself but I wanna know what kinda features (new/ground breaking/awesome) they have.
Cus right now, my current cell works fine (cept the camera, its fucked and shit quality).
