I'd say most people doing that are well aware that they are only saving 20% of the price by putting it through their company.Originally posted by BolshieBastard View PostLOL!

I've had every single model of iPhone from the 3G and never used a case, nor screen protectors. Not one of the phones I've had has had a broken screen or even a scratch on it apart from the case on the plastic backed 3G & 3GS. From the 4 onwards, I've found them all to be pretty tough. I even dropped a 4 from about 4ft onto my tiled kitchen floor... It landed face down and survived without a mark on it, so they're not that fragile.Originally posted by northernladuk View PostOddly enough I thought that was one of Apples downfalls bearing in mind how fragile the screens are and the argument about the OS slowing down at regular points. Guess it depends on the case you have

Depends how much you want to spend.
I'd consider sticking with it and goi g sim free though.
Cheap phone.. If youre not to fussed about apps and just want mail (excellent) phone, SMS and a web browser then windows phones are cheap and decent...

Im some what stuck in the Apple Iphone loop, right from the days of the 3G, with ipads, apple TV et All its makes it difficult to pull out, double jeopardy is the Apps I have most valuble my navigation software which I purchased and regularly updates itself and POI`s.
just been talking with colleagues this afternoon does anyone understand why places like CEX and GAME are punting out second hand iphones at prices that are just short of new, beyond believable why people would pay it.Last edited by Yonmons; 15 October 2015, 13:20.Comment
