so i got a iphone finally and its all fucked up on day 2. help anyone?
 

i hate cell phones and have been using prepaids forever, i finally used my cousins iphone during a shoot last week and saw the usefullness of doing my yahoomail, maps, and craigslist shit in the car, so i went to the mall and bought a 'free' phone with a 2yr contract from tmobile. this little shady sleepyhead dude says he can 'get' me an iphone for 200 bucks. i dont know if thats a deal or not since i dont keep up on this shit like i used to but i was like ok cool nigga get me the phone tommorow and i'll pay you.

so yesterday i break him off 200 and he swaps the sim cards and sets the shit up on some kind of data plan for me and i'm rolling. about 12 hrs later the big apple button with the square on the phone (there is only 1 button on it i think) stops responding. like i have to turn the fucking phone off and on which takes like 4 minutes to reboot etc just to make a call or get a text msg from the main menu since that 1 button controls everything.

so i'm pissed i cant multitask with the web and phone and text etc thats the whole point of the iphone i think. i dont know shit about apps and cracks and all that bullshit like i used to so can anyone help me use this POS. i am about ready to go back to the mall and jack this fool up. what is a iphone worth anyway, the back of it says 8gb

enjoy your knocked off phone.

Those are made in china, and they work for a month tops.

buy shit, eat shit.

yes, that one is made in china...

price there for one is $40 - $70

kick his ass!! :P

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

iphones are hard to get? You did some under the table deal for $200? I thought that's how much they cost with a 2 year contract...

well like i said i'm not into all this mobile bullshit so i dont know what shit is worth. you tell me what is the street value of a 8gb iphone and more importantly how do i get the fucking button to work. this shit is retarded

i got a iphone, couldnt live without it, 4 mins to re-boot seems a damn long time!
if the phone screen freezes then you need to do a full reboot, hold the main apple button down and the power off switch simultaniously for about 10 seconds and it will reboot!

You could have gotten the 8 GB 3G direct from ATT for $99 on a 2 year contract.

You should go back to the mall and take care of business if he works at a legit store and make it clear he needs to refund your money and cancel the contract before you go above him for selling you illegal crap on the T-Mobile network.
:2 cents:

I got the latest 3gs iphone with 16 gig for 199 with new 2 year contract.

Just about 3 weeks ago I ditched Verizon so i could get the iphone.

I was told it was like 500 to 600 to buy it outright.

Sounds like you got scammed big time though. :\ Plus dont you have to get AT&T for Iphone? Not T Mobile?

the time it took you to write this post u coulda gone to att.com...why the hell would u want tmobile anyway lol...prepaid...im laughing even harder!!!!

You could have bought a REAL iPhone from ATT for cheaper than $200!

You got ripped off and scammed.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

haha that dude ripped you off big time. Go kick his ass and get it on video for us to enjoy.
