I had the same problem: 100% off the charger, powered it OFF, and 50% the next day. Apple said it was bad and replaced it. The second one does not have that problem. I suggest you go to the Genuis Bar and try to have it replaced. BTW my iPhone passed their 'diagnostics,' but the Genius Tech...

Grrrr...my upgrade date says 5/31/2011. On a lighter note, I clicked on the banner ad for iphone trade ins and they are willing to give me $304 for mine. I wonder if I could do better on eBay....:confused:

Nope, won't be buying an unlocked iPhone-not rich enough :(. I will have to buy something cheaper.

I do know the difference between JB and unlock. I, of course, need both. Oh well, it looks like I need to buy an unlocked phone for the trip (assuming I get the position).

There seem to be conflicting posts about this. The sticky says you can't, yet Spirit JB is mentioned as saying you can. Which is correct? I may be taking a 3-month contract job in Germany and AT&T's rates are INSANE ($5.99/month extra AND .99/min). Obviously an unlocked iPhone would save me...

My thoughts exactly!

I know many luck 3Gs owners will say that you never used them and have no scratches. I was not so lucky as I had the coating on 2 3Gs' scratch. I now use the ZAGG IS, which I hate, but I hate scratches more. Anyway, what do you think of this news, assuming that it's true?

The question is if you have scratches or not. If you don't want a screen protector, great. Please don't ressurect an old thread without addressing the actual topic of the thread. I agree naked is the way to go, but the first time the coating on your 3Gs screen gets a nick (and it will), you...

I am on the fence, as I am a VZW customer, on buying an iPhone 3Gs, but with the January rumors I wonder if a new iPhone will be announced. My gut instinct says no. What do you say? Buy now or wait?

I am considering buying the 3GS again (looooonnnggg story). But my previous ones (2 of them) both scratched being used VERY gently. I will not go without a screen protector again.

I had it about two weeks. In my front pocket by itself (no keys,etc.). Yes, it scratched after less than 1 week. The phone was treated very gently and barely used during that time. Luckily, the scratch is near the bottom (the black part of the phone).

No its not a scam and no you don't have to buy other things, but I have not been able to find the cashback link for several weeks now.

This post increases my hesitation to buy an iPhone. I am already leary of AT&T's not-so-great network and not sure if I am ready to leave VZW just for the iPhone.

Yeah, that's what I was afraid of. Hmmm....sell barely used pristine iPod Nano (8G) and refurb VZW Touch Pro...and buy iPhone with profit!:D

Good to hear. For a first time iPhone, is the 3G good enough?
