That is bull. You asked on another thread about if heat was a possible reason, because you wanted a 'cover story.' Ie. the real reason is something else.

Get lost and stop trying to get us in helping you commit fraud.

You mention that you thought "jail breaking" meant to take it out of the box, but, in this other forum post you actually respond to someone who had problems after jail breaking and you suggest that they restore your iPhone ( http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=40706... ). You clearly know what jail breaking really is, so that was a lie, as was everything else you have posted, except for you (or your Dad) dropping the phone. Unless you would so casually respond to a problem that someone encountered while simply TAKING SOMETHING OUT OF A BOX!

You're really making this worse and turning it into an internet frenzy. The online community doesn't appreciate being scammed. If you had just said, "you caught me, it was stupid, i'm sorry" this would have all be over with a long time ago. Now you've involved blogs from all over the world and millions of readers. You'll have to abandon your emails addresses and user names and start anew. Although I hope it doesn't happen, I wouldn't be surprised if you receive some calls at your house or end up with a tonne of sternly worded emails. People have a knack for finding out all of your personal details.

You still have a chance though. Apologize and things will calm down. It's not that hard.

Woah LOTS of inaccurate things going on in these forums, i personally own an iphone and an n95 8gb.

Now when i first got them both the nokia beat the iphone hands down.

However no i have the iphone jailbroken and i can do everything the Nokia can do apart from 3g. However running a couple of speed tests etc, turns out there is a roughly 3 - 5 second delay in the iphone loading a page compared to the nokia.

I can foward txts now, record videos , send multiple txts, have gps (coming soon) ummm pretty much do it all now.

Now that i can do all of that iphone wins hand down. Its not cheap no, but it is solidly built and is excellent, customer service from apple is terrific.


Ok now if you buy a phone from uk atm, it comes with 1.1.2 , you downgrade jail break activate and upgrade it back, this enables you to use a payg simcard or a contract. However its limited to o2 only.

When getting payg its up to you if you want internet on the go, if you do want it then its £7.50 bolt on for a data.

If you get a contract you can still do a bolt on for £7.50 a month, you will have internet on the go.

Overall the iphone is excellentay and will probally not turn to another phone now!

It wasn't a threat, it was a statement of fact. I said I wished it wouldn't happen to him, because I'm sure it would be quite intimidating. Don't you recall the internet backlash over the guy that stole someone's XBox 360 (http://blog.mcfearsome.com/2008/03/22/wow-your-a-moron/).

Also, I'm not a troll. I signed up to post on this specific forum, yes, But, I'm not trying to incite an incident - I'm trying to tell him how to diffuse one. If anything, the guy from the earlier post that claimed this scam artist was a "terrorist sympathizer" was the one trolling and going way overboard.

Phone dropped and cracked. User plugged in phobne and caused phone to overheat from damage sustained in drop. User wants free phone.

just spent the last 15 mins catching up on this thread. Some people just have no idea that there is this magical paper trail on the web that will bite you in the ass.

I think we have heard the last from this joker and his mystical apple care mate who I suspect has the same ip, name, mother and inside leg measurement.

Oh and I'm typing this on my iPhone!

did not read all 7 pages about some item i not own, just noted 2 posters who had the one post on this thread for the record got a nokia 1112 as want a phone and only a phone, plus a small one at that.

Not got a mp3 player, hardly need it and 12 megapixel camera or a 2 mb phone one ?

contract phones are imho a waste of money unless you use the full cost of the calls each month

thesheephair has gone a bit quiet - I wonder if Apple has replaced his "faulty" phone yet

They must be busy at apple support- you know, dealing with all the return phones...

Not so sure, I dont think they sell butane refills to under 16's...
