Its just been miserable hearing all the crap and trying to earn $450 more to pay back for a decent iphone. Its just annoying learning the hard way not to keep an iphone in my pocket. I'm glad you found your iphone, and hope you might find the one you lost someday.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12333976.post-40322329464422066622008-01-08T20:18:00.000-05:002008-01-08T20:18:00.000-05:00You might want to invest in one of those arm holde...You might want to invest in one of those arm holders for the phone, so you always know it's secure where it sits. Also, a holder with a clip would keep it in place. These slippery phones are too valuable to keep in pocket with a lot of movement...I love my Iphone and keep it clipped to me or my purse at all times. Good luck with the new one.Jeri Sesslerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17462127791204849169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12333976.post-32796763193441697542008-01-08T12:20:00.000-05:002008-01-08T12:20:00.000-05:00I would have done that Karen, but I was at home wh...I would have done that Karen, but I was at home when I realized it was missing.

I've never had an item as special as the iphone, unless you count that 5300 from Kodak. Back to losses, I too lost a phone last year, but my thief ended up being a client's dog, that decided to make a chew toy out of my phone. I'm sure you saw the commercial where the dog ate the phone and the gloved patron was going into to retrieve the phone, because after all it was on "Roam". My phone was all but lost for about 36 hours, then I received a phone call from my client that the chew toy had showed up on the porch. By that time I had replaced the important tool in my life, but it was good to have closure, as to what had occurred. My wish is that the culprit is caught, and you are able to gain peace that the bad guys do get caught. After all Crime doesn't Pay, does it? <BR/><BR/>Blessings to you and ChristineAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12333976.post-89889876747555248452008-01-08T08:20:00.000-05:002008-01-08T08:20:00.000-05:00THANKS for your input, merrymayhem!

I am curious what the person must feel :) I am one of those who sniggered, only because of your use of "dang it" and "dad blamit". But it wasnt funny at all. I would be out of my mind. I have a blackberry and it is very valuable to me because as a deaf person this is a great communication tool! Probably not as fancy as that iPhone tho. :) Glad things worked out for you.RJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00375173818793050323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12333976.post-25161913102344229842008-01-08T00:34:00.000-05:002008-01-08T00:34:00.000-05:00That really sucks :( Was the insurance that you pa...That really sucks :( Was the insurance that you pay a monthly fee for offered? My husband had it on a $400 phone that broke, we just had to pay a $50 deductible and got a replacement... I would assume they'd cover a stolen phone if you got the police report? I don't think I'd want to file it under homeowners if I didn't have to since they could decide not to cover you anymore! I now have my husband's $400 phone since he got a Blackberry for work, and I barely figured out how to check the voicemail a week or so ago... it can do email and web browsing and GPS and all sorts of stuff, so it's really a waste for me.. just give me something with numbers to push - contact lists are a bonus!<BR/><BR/>I know you said you guys don't use credit cards but you can get one that has purchase protection, it's insurance in case your item bought on that credit card got lost, stolen or damaged... but I think most only cover for the first 90 or so days after purchase.merrymayhemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01071449646911721120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12333976.post-27682844423459687122008-01-07T23:59:00.000-05:002008-01-07T23:59:00.000-05:00Conolences, Jimmy.

I'm constantly on the go and being about to answer e-mails or hop on my blog or forum sites anywhere I am is as much a signature of what I do as anything.<BR/><BR/>Sure, I lived without it for many years, but I wouldn't want to for the rest of my life. Like I said, I got a check in the mail today that replenished my funds, so it was good timing to have it stolen (if there ever is such a thing).Jimmy Moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08590225257991702645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12333976.post-21622343395718559812008-01-07T22:39:00.001-05:002008-01-07T22:39:00.001-05:00Sorry to hear about your loss Jimmy!

But the evangelism that iPhone addicts talk about the damn thing with make one believe that the world would stop rotating if the iHype had never been invented. You managed to live for however many years, minus 6 months, without an iPhone. You managed to lose nigh on 200 lbs without an iPhone. You met your wife without one. Convinced her to marry you. I am as tech addicted as the next person, but if it's gonna clean your bank account out, maybe you can step back to a dumb phone and a moleskin book, save 200 bucks on the purchase, and who knows what on the monthly service, and perhaps learn a 2000's version of what Thoreau learned on Walden pond. <BR/><BR/>Or you could empty out 75% of your checking account and blow the rest on monthy service for the thing, and go with a low calorie approach on the food. <BR/><BR/>Expensive lesson to learn. <BR/><BR/>PS - $400 for 8GB is nuts.Pot Kettle Blackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01991982631209306178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12333976.post-214762237250095892008-01-07T21:58:00.000-05:002008-01-07T21:58:00.000-05:00Ironically, JD, that's one of the reasons I brough...Ironically, JD, that's one of the reasons I brought my iPhone in the gym with me so it wouldn't be stolen.
