Holy S ! That's insane... It's a PHONE you stupid clods @ Apple ! The battery is the ONE thing that has always been, and should be totally user replaceable on a phone, because when people TALK a lot, the battery usually dies eventually... duh... You know, those times when you don't have the charger, aren't home and whatnot ? Damn, that's stupid, stupid and STUPID. Not to mention GREEDY !
Well Steve, you've really put yourself in a league with yer ol buddy Bill this time... Anyway:
I came to post that my friend who works for Apple is going to receive a new 8 gig iPhone next month I believe. He says that all Crapple employees who have been working for them a year or more get one. I think this is an act of desperation on apples part, since it's known that they've been notoriously cheap w/their employees in the past regarding giving away stuff.
My friend got a shuffle from them, but it was supposedly a 'loaner', and would have to give back any stuff they gave him if he quit or got fired etc... And now, they're just giving iPhones away ? Pretty sneaky if you asked me. I'm sure Id take one if it were free, but pay for one, never.
He says that they're selling a butt load of them, and I asked about returns, to which he replied: "None that I know of". Well, at least now he and I will be on the same network... hope he likes ATT/Cingular, since he'll have to use them for 5 years
