I had a "normal" Desire for awhile but it broke so I had an old Nokia for like 4 months, I couldn't even talk in it so I thought it was about time to make someone get me a phone :lol: .

To be honest, there is no need at all for a dual core phone at the moment... ;)

very cool though.

I'm thinking about buying one. Is it worth it?

It's either that or the iPhone 5.

Well that would be a huge mistake !

I had 2 iPhones original and 3Gs, got bored of all of obvious features being missing so they can market them in the next version.

The advert for iPhone 4 makes it seem like they invented video calling !

I have an iPhone 3gs now. It's quite boring, yes. But it does have pretty much everything I need in a phone :)

I got an iPhone when it was the top phone on the market now.

Sincerely regret that decision. Now stuck in a silly contract for another IDK how many years, or I can pay to upgrade phones and get re-locked in.. The joys of phone companies.

My screen cracked 3 days after I got the phone; falling from approximately 30 centimeters in a case.
Apple would fix it, with my phone company "subsidizing some cost" for a mere $200.00; exactly $0.01 more than I paid for the phone brand new.

For a new screen ! That's ridiculous ! You could probably do it yourself for about $40.

I bought the pieces and fixed it for 38.88$ with taxes;
The problem is it voided my warranty; not that the warranty Apple gives you matters .. It covers software issues at most.

I had to have an hour long conversation with the warranty centre at HTC to get them to fix my screen (dead pixels). They said it was void because I put a custom ROM on the phone, even though it says nothing abotu that in the warranty. They would just not believe that it was a hardware problem, and kept talking about how "the pixels are sent from the software" or something like that.

That was a good day :(

Ahaha, that just reminds me of all the jokes that go around between hardware and software computer geeks :lol:

I hate talking to people in call centers trying to deal with anything. Literally, the first 30 minutes of every conversation (after they take you off your hour and a half hold), is the same no matter where you call or what the problem:
  • Turn it off.
  • Back on.
  • Reset it.
  • Try to use another use of the product. Does that work?
  • Take the battery out (if it contains one)
  • ...
That is the time when I generally take a hammer to whatever it is and get a new one.

I never had to argue with any phone company.
Probably because I tend to switch phones every 2 months or so :)

Doing that with my company would require a lot of arguing and money :(
