Yep thats what is was today a GONG show.


So my I phone 1 died on Saturday night, I tried to restore it. That wouldn't work from my PC. I tried all the things it said to do on Itunes. All that would display was an apple.
Sunday I was away so thought I would get on it first thing Monday. So at 9:00 went off to the Rogers store, 1st one in Millwoods, Closed. So head to South Edmonton Common. No I phones, No loaners either. He suggests to head to the Apple Store in Southgate mall. So I head there, not much help there, first took a while to even get service after that was told 3-4 hrs to even get the phone looked at, So I ask for a new phone, 3 day wait, then an appointment. Wow! Then I make my way to the Apple store in West Edmonton Mall. As soon as I walked in the door someone helped me right away even though the store was very busy there was alot of staff there to assist. They took my phone and fixed it, reset it back to factory. Checked on the new I phone 4, none available, so added me to the list for Wednesday to get one. Within 1/2 an hour I was on my way. I had a phone that worked again, cleaned blank of all information though. And he said don't plug it into your i tunes either. There must of been some incompatibilities between your PC and the phone. So at least I got my phone to work for the meantime. By the time I got everything fixed it was 1:40 though. Alot of wasted time.
My initial I phone lasted 3 years and 1 month without an issue. :d

Will that last 3 years? I could be the one saying BA! HA! LOL! LMAO!

Blackberry...just sayin...
Had a blackberry already.

My I phone made it without any issues for over 3 years. That is the longest time I ever owned a cell phone without wrecking it or it screwing up like my previous blackberry's

The droids have not been out that long. I just cant believe the I phone craze and that everyone is always out of stock. My phone hasn't been babied either. Its been dropped, wet, lost, its been a reliable good phone.

Been using a set up like this since I was a kid,.. haven't given me grief yet other than having to call Telus and getting my service area expanded by using a longer string.

If I have to make a long distance call I just stoke up the fire

80% of people I know with blackberrys are in live with then for about 5 months and then HATE them. They aren't built to last. You put an otter box on a iPhone and it's a tank. It's bulky but bulletproof.

I went back to the west edmonton mall apple store today and picked up the I phone 4. They got me set up quickly, then I ran over to wireless wave in phase 3 and grabbed an otter box. Every thing is slick, I lost all my contacts as the software was screwed in my laptop. Love the new I-4, had to download tapatalk, got the new version. I can moderate from it,lol. The otter box seems great the only thing I can see not lasting is the flap for the charge jack. We'll have to see. The phone is much faster and even better than before.
