They need to step it up and come up with something new and innovative... I hate how slow our technology upgrades......

Technology isn't upgrading slowly, it's just Apple that Is outdated. Android is already using Quad Core processors,etc.

Also, cloud technology has taken over, out of no where we can stream console quality games that are on ps3/360 instantly, sometimes faster than a netflix film.

I totally agree, I do love my Iphone but Apple likes to release new updates with new phones at the pace of snails. They could of released the Iphone 5 over a year or two ago but instead they released 4, 4S. I'm sure by next year 5S will be out.

This. It is time to learn that Apple is not completely retarded with what they are doing. They know they don't need to be faster, better, smarter than the other guys to make the same amount of money they have always made. These phones are developed years in advance. Then they just release them slowly because the shepherd knows just how to control its brainwashed flock.

In time, this method may fail just like RIM has with BlackBerry. But, it's still far from that point.

I typically only sell items on craigslist that are of high value, and never had ran into any issues. It all comes down to common sense, being smart, and being able to know if something is fishy or too good to be true.

I was just referring to local, in-hand sales. BTW, the pen trick stopped working about a decade ago. Some simple over the counter aerosols were discovered to stop it from changing colors. I think only the new 100 bill they have made will stop it.

Pretty sure Apple knows exactly what they are doing.

Importing unlocked phones and staying out of contract is easy. You have your options too, don't complain.

Wind is garbage, they're a tiny company with terrible reception. Their selection of phones are very poor as well. However, you are right about importing, but not everyone wants to buy a phone for full price especially if they don't have a existing contract or if their contract is about to expire.

Buy used! Or use what I use: NegriElectronics.com, Expansys.com and CarPhoneWarehouse.com

There are thousands of phones and all of those retailers are legit. They also get many exclusives on brand new devices. If you want to stay out of contracts, you pay full price. That's the same all over the world. So, I don't know what else you are looking for.

BiN4RY · #32 09-15-2012

I'm not saying anything about staying out of contract, I'm just saying our phone plans and contracts are much worse comparing to what you guys have.

Even our OZ ones appear better.

We've already have 4G coming to more of the country. 3G is reasonable enough even if out of the metropolitan area.

Vodafone, our carrier, is 'considering' a request we made for 8 new iphones.
Can but hope.

There are choices of 12 months, 24 months contracts & outright for all carriers in OZ.

I love my HTC evo V 4g, I just got it, flashed a custom ROM on it and now enjoy unlimited "4g" speeds but using wimax, not LTE.

Virgin mobile said only 2.5gb of full speed then it gets throttled. I passed that 2.5gb long time ago and still full speed.

At least you guys don't have to deal with extremely overpriced plans and 3 year contracts

So true - Amen ugh.

As for phones, Android-based ones have so much more power I see and have read.

Ya wind really does suck im canada. Switched from Rogers to the "$40 unlimited plan"...wow that waa gross. Couldnt even use data in most places. What's the point of even having unlimited data if its unusable??!!

bpdoz · #37 09-21-2012

Oh, I wish I had iPhone 5 now.
Need to wait 1 more year until my current contract (2 years) expired.

This is the thing about 2 years contract plan di OZ.
Wish they have only 1 year contract, so I can change it everytime the new one comes up.

rsot · #38 09-22-2012

Let bidding start on mcjerjer's iPhone 5 - starting at 0.99 auction...offers - go!

Gamefreak · #39 09-23-2012

^^ Thats what did... I got a 16gb and a 32gb. 16 went for 760 and the 32gb went for 875. easy money as I didnt want the phones anyways.

rsot · #40 09-24-2012

And you made profit from that Gamefreak?

#41 09-24-2012

I decided to test one out, if i can get one for $399 at a local store when they release via Cricket this weekend i'll test it out, if everything goes well I'll purchase another.

Out of interest, how much are you expecting to pay for this BB 9900 ???

It is a very nice looking handset I must admit.
