Stupid iphone not working properly ,

[HapticSimian]

It's just a phone. It can break. So can other phones.

You mean you aren't greeted by a wispy visage of Steve Jobs himself when you power it up? It isn't the answer to life, the universe and everything?

Jokes aside now, I know. And so's my Android phone - it just happens to do what I want a phone to do quite well. It is just a juvenile bit of fun to poke you iFruit fans every now and again. It's silly, which is why this particular troll will exit the conversation now if you so please. There's no malicious intent.

bboy, I really do hope for your sake you get it sorted.

Because, come on, it's funny. I appreciate the tip about the Nokia, but I already have a phone that works and can do stuff, thanks.

yes, your comment might have been funny, fair enough, but have a look around in this forum, how many iPhone haters come here to spread their word. It was not aimed at you, but rather a general observation. Most (if not all of us) knew what the existing iPhone problems were, and bought it regardless. It is a personal decision, and like @Synaesthesia said, any phone can/will break. Go to a vodashop and look at the amount of complaints that come in??? Most iPhone owners at least have some tech savvy, and know where/how to look for answers. Your average nokia junkie has no clue and runs to the nearest vodashop "bikos dis tieng is not wurking".

The iPhone is not at alll a status symbol for me, it is not a phone either, it is a lifestyle. It offers, to my personal needs, what NO other phone can offer. And me having an iPhone has no negative effect on ANY non-iphone fanboi (except maybe a hidden jealousy that he himself is not even aware of yet)

Well if they dont swap it out immediately.
I'll just cancel the contract, then take out another one.

 

[Le^stat]

Is their penalties...if you cancel the current contract and take out a new one with the same service provider?

 

[bboy]

its under 7 days, im protected by the credit act considering its a technically a credit application

 

[bboy]

so no.. but i'd probly have to the pay the R200 for sim etc etc again

 

[Le^stat]

go for it...

Welcome to Trollathon 2010 ...

Those with iPhones know why they got them and their reasons are as solid as those from others prefering other makes. I actually have a BB Bold and the iPhone 4 and I use them differently. For voice and text my Bold is the better of the two (my business device) but for everything else I prefer the iPhone (my play device). I got the iPhone to replace my iPod Touch due to the lack of Wi-Fi coverage that the Touch is dependent upon. I want to use my device anywhere all the time and therfore the need for the 3G/HSPA connection of the iPhone. I was hoping the new iPod Touch would get 3G as the iPad but it didn't. If it did I would have gone for the much thinner new Touch.

Give every man and his device(s) space in the sun people. We are not getting paid by the manufacturers to use and promote their devices so why the wars? Dis sommer wors!

So do you need a mobile phone to give you a "lifestyle"? :wtf:

Dude, you need some serious help. People like you give "normal" iPhone users like me a very bad name.

I think what he meant by lifestyle is the fact that he can listen to music on the go, google an address and enter it into his GPS app, take a picture and email it to his friends, etc

That you can do with any Android, Blackberry or Nokia phone....so I'm still confused as to what he really meant.

@kingrob, that is quite a bold statement to make, especially to someone whom you have never seen/met in your life. And if you think I'm one of those nuts without a life, living and dying by iPhone, I have bad news for you! As an iPhone user, you cannot argue that the iPhone offers much more than any other phone on the market. Anything that you can think of, and even those you cant, there will be at least 5 apps that can do that. Yes, blackberry and nokia can do the things mentioned by Yarik, but let's face it, they are not in the same league. But if I love a product that suits my lifestyle gives you a bad name, I am terribly sorry

 

[SYNERGY]

I also use it as a "lifestyle" device as another forumite put it. Got a BB9700 for work.

Far from a Apple "fanboi". It's a great device and I use it.

Cmon now synergy, be careful what you say, you might just give the normal iPhone users bad names here!

 

[SYNERGY]

lmao! True lol. Its odd- I still I have my 1st gen iPhone next to the iPhone 4 lol. And it fits in the old dock perfectly

 

[renierp]

I know, sold my first ten but kept the dock. Glad I didn't fork out cash for a new one!

 

[ngwenyas]

You're probably holding it wrong.
