Just come back off my hol & my iphone 4 broke after 2 days.
I was on the beach listening to some podcast's with around 60% batt. The phone just shut down. No warnings such as the 'heat warning' The phone was in the shade and rather cool tbh. It wont switch back on when i have tried holding the reset buttons, plugging it into a charge point, and also plugging it into the pc. The phone has not been jailbroken or cracked. where do I stand as to me this is a manufacturers fault? I have owned the phone for around 4/5 months max.
Im going to call orange in a few hours. I need a working phone asap for work contacts etc.
cheers!

Meh this sites gone down this road too many times, my bad and too much of sweeping statement from me.
My history with mac goes as far back as an original Macintosh if you know what that is...
The most recent offering i've had was an Ipad.... Over priced sh*t in my opinion, used it for 2 weeks and found it pretty useless. They make some great products, just think that if people didn't just go for style hype they would see that there are far better phones out there than anything apple have ever produced.

wow you have some serious issues! lol
At the end of the day I they will either fix it or they wont and I will get a new phone.
If you have a non apple phone and the hardware failed I doubt very much a shop such as carephone warehouse etc will want to know!

no i dont know what an original Macintosh is LOL!!.. :rolleyes:
i dont use them for looks. i use them for the performance.. which is something a PC cant match for the aplications i use it for
Cant comment on ipads or ipods as i have no use for either so wouldnt waste the money in the first place
as for phones... its like i said in another thread. its a matter of opinion.. i personally think they make the best phones and thats the reason other manufacturers copy not only the looks but also the way their phones operate..
Misky, sorry for going off topic their. glad you got it sorted, told you they would but let us know how you get on :wink: :cool:

Macintosh was their first proper home computer
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macintosh
I will always have PCs and laptops in my home because my job revolves around them, microsoft based servers and Linux. However I am fool on the personal application side of things as I agree on the performance comment in many cases. I have a home studio totally based on rack mounted PCs... Not clever and not common these days but I simply cannot afford to go mac in this area for now.
For MIDI based music production I still miss my Atari 1040 as this was a very robust studio machine that's operating system was very similar to that of the orignal Mac.

Hope you get it sorted - Mine died after I dropped it getting out of my monster truck of a car lol!! :tongue:
Walked in - told the guys in the apple store it jumped and the swapped me out a brand new phone!!

I was been sarcastic regarding the macintosh lol.. im a DJ and i go way back to the late 80s in regards to my music collection and have many friends who were big back in the day.. Dream Frequency etc etc...
i use cubase, and acid, recently got ableton. nothng beats analog tho :cool:
when reliability and performance is paramount a Mac is the only option. id never ever trust a PC in a live situation and i think every professional shares this opinion, although its lost speaking about this stuff on here where the most many people do is browse this site (PC is fine for that)
even all the printing companys use Apple mac...
its only offices that use PC
i hear you on cost tho. they are very £££££

McIntosh's are Apples. You eat them. They're not for working on. Simples.
-
Just a quick update! They gave me a new free phone! they said they havent seen anything like that before and that this usually happens when the firmware has been cracked (which I havent done).
anyway! total win!!!

congrats mate,wait till i tell my mate he had to wait 6 weeks,he will be mad as fook lol

6 weeks r u sure !!! if you take it to any apple store its dealt with there and then!
-
yes he said 6 weeks i dont think he would lie about it tbh,it could be different now this was when they first came out
-

Not saying hes lying but maybe hes not going via apple store.. i had a problem the next day after it came out on 02 and went straight to the store and replacement was done... Pretty much any iphone ive had the service has been next to none all the way back to my 2g... SHame if hes not getting the same service
-
+1 When you take the iphone back to Apple store its replaced there and then. :wink:

I had an "original macintosh" desktop. It was rubbish.
I now have an Apple Iphone 4 and Macbook pro. They are good.
They have come on miles since those days.
