I was just looking at that. LMAO! That's so damn funny. I came up with a marketing pitch for my iPhone loving friends. They weren't amused.

iPhone 5. Selling last year's Android technology at REVOLUTIONARY future prices! Don't forget your super AMAZING 29 dollar adapter that allows you to do ALL THE THINGS YOU COULD PREVIOUSLY DO WITH YOUR OLD PHONE! That's right, folks, for only 29 dollars you can RETAIN your EXISTING functionality. Step right up and join the back of the line to get yours now (note: iPhone 5 is not released now....you must wait a week before you can get yours, fool).

That's hilarious :-) I can't wait to see this thing once it gets released.

Yesterday my son's mom came over for our son's birthday and just told me something that I always forget to tell people about. Here it goes, she got a new iPhone 4s and 2 weeks later the speaker in the headset blew up so during her lunch she raced over to at&t to get it fixed/replaced and she was presented with her first of many reasons she regretted getting an Apple product when they told her they aren't allowed to work on Apple products per Apple's policy and that she has to go to an Apple store. We live in a very wealthy area and even here the closet Apple store is 20 mins away, @ Somerset mall in Troy, MI. But since her phone was broke she had no other choice but to take it there.

Here comes regret reason #2 after spending the hour to get there and park (rush hour) she finally gets to the Apple store where she is promptly told she needs to go to one of their computers and make an appointment. She said the guy was great and helped her log in but when they got to the appointment page there wasn't an open appointment for the rest of that day (it was only 5:15 pm) so he asked if she wanted to make one for Saturday (it was Friday)

She was so stunned by this that she tried to explain that it might be a quick fix and that she may have just muted something but he wouldn't even look at it. She said the salesperson was able to talk to her for the next couple hours if she wanted him to but he wasn't allowed to touch her phone.

She ended up making an appointment for Saturday but ended up having to cancel and since she was sick of it she called at&t to use her insurance that she pays $12 a month for and they promptly told her it was going to cost $200 to replace it. So for $144 a year you get to have insurance that still leaves you with a $200 bill to replace "old technology". She ended up being without a phone for a week.

I was laughing my rear end of when she told me that story and with that kind of customer service I don't know why anyone would stick with them

That's classic. Our closest Apple store is about an hour away. My daughter and wife have both had to go. It sucks.

This officially proves how dumb the average iPhone user is

Everyone... Freddy0872 and his fiancée got in a really bad car accident two nights ago. He has cuts and is bruised up but doing alright. His girl has multiple broken bones and is obviously not doing very well but she is stable so let's keep her and Freddy in our thoughts and prayers.

Thank you
Obsidian

[SamuriHL]

OMG. Prayers are definitely with them.

[johnlgalt]

Prayers, thoughts, and I'm willing to donate too.

[dfib]

I don't know where he lives but I will help him and his fiancee if they need it.

[Obsidian]

Thanks brother

Prayers, thoughts, and I'm willing to donate too.

I think we might need to find a way to get him a Bionic. It was lost in the accident and Verizon can't locate it either.

I don't know where he lives but I will help him and his fiancee if they need it.

Thank you. He lives in PA.

We need to get this guy a Bionic... Can't someone start looking into it? Start looking for price through swappa.com or anywhere else.

Thanks again guys,
Obsidian

That's Awful! Very sorry, thoughts and prayers are with him. Is his girlfriend doing better, now?

[acordill]

My prayers are out to the both of them. Please keep us updated on their progress.

[dragon]

My prayers are with both of them. Yes please keep us updated.

Hey everyone,

I want to give you all an update about Freddy. Luckily he found his phone

Hey brother. Just wanted to update you on everything. I did on some good note find my bionic. I went to the towing yard and searched thru the glass and busted car with no luck. Went to the scene of the accident and there was this old man outside working on his car who asked what I was doing. I said I was the one who wrecked here a few nights back. He said he found a phone and a pair of sunglasses. I got so excited! And sure enough he came out with it still holding into 1% battery after about 4 days! Granted no cell service was going to it but here it is in my hands again! :-)

Even though it is great he found his phone he could still use all of our help. He still isn't able to work but will be going back next week but his girl Kristyn is going to have a long road to recovery and won't be able to work for at least 3 months.

She will be unable to walk for about 3 months. Its very painful for her every movement from her hips down is excruciating.. she will pull thru tho with the help and support of our friends and family. . I have not been to the threads for a while. I've deleted the apps a while back so I could concentrate on my life with kristyn. And its staying that way for a while. Hope u can understand. I have a very long road ahead of me helping her. Were going to be ____ed financially for a while since she can't work and I am not allowed to work till next week. So say howdy to the bionic family for me and I'll pop in soon and say hi to all. I do miss everyone.

Anything we could do financially to help him would be great. I know everyone can't donate but I am hoping a lot of us can. I am going to go check out PayPal to try to set something up. As you all know I have never asked for money so I haven't ever set up a donation link but I am going to now and I would appreciate any donation you believe I deserve go Freddy and his family's way.

Hello bionic family! As you have heard me and my fiancé Kristyn were involved in a rather serious car accident on saturday around 1:35AM
We are both very lucky to still be here breathing. More so Kristyn. If she was wearing her seatbelt like the law says she would of been dead instantly. I'm not going into details on the accident but the telephone pole would have instantly crushed her with the door. So sometimes not following the law will save your arse.

She has multiple fractures as obsidian stated. Most damaging was her pelvis. She will be bed ridden for sometime around 3 months. I personally have never witnessed a miracle but that night I did see one with my own eyes! As for me I've got some pretty deep lacerations on my head and hands and 2 busted ribs. Not to mention a mind that is so jacked up because of this since I was driving. I did lose my phone for about 3 days and did find it as obsidian stated earlier.

No point on repeating everything all over again tho. I will keep in touch with all of you thru obsidian. I will pop in once and a while but as you can see my life is going to be devoted to her and our 2 year old son more than anything.

I want to thank ALL of you for your support and prayers! They do help! She made her first step to recovery today by sitting up for the first time since the accident. With the help of the physical therapists of course. But in the end was able to support herself sitting on the bed. I broke down in tears of happiness and joy over that moment!

I am NEVER one to do any type of begging or anything but as obsidian stated we are going to be very much stuck as I will be the only one supporting our family financially. The medical bills will be outrageous but if some of you do wish to throw even a dollar or two I would not be able to thank you enough! I informed her that obsidian was keeping you all informed and was organizing a donation fund. She got tears to her eyes and smiled. During this week we have realized that there are still some VERY kind and helpful people in this world. The donation link obsidian posted is the same in my signature and it leads right into Kristyn's PayPal account.

As I stated if you can we would be most appreciated! I am aware most can't and that is OK! Just keep us in your thoughts and prayers please! :-)

This whole bionic family is one of the greatest supporters of not just our phones but also own own personal lives as well!

I want to wish u all a great week and I will be in touch again soon!

Take care all!

Freddy0872

My thoughts are with you and your family. About 5 years ago I was injured at work and spent 3 months in the hospital (6 weeks in Tampa and 4 weeks in NY), 3 weeks of which I was in the ICU. I am still having surgeries to try to give some function back to my hands (I am actually sitting in a hotel right now typing this waiting to see my Dr tomorrow). It has been very tough financially and mentally on myself and family, but through it all you need to focus on your fiancée and son and not worry about the money or anything else. I don't know your financial situation but a credit score is just a number that can go back up just like it came down and if the medical bills pile up, there is always bankruptcy (it is for situations like this). Remember to take care of your son and fiancée first and worry about the material stuff later. I would rather have my family taken care of then good credit.

Take care,

Dfib

PM me if you want to talk to a family who has been there.
