I like the one that had the white trim in the front. How much does it end up costing? I want to do this but don't have the $$.

Kelley, I think I'd like it with the front colors reversed; make the button purple and the border green. Have you tried it that way? Thanks for the tip on buying direct, i may just do that. Can they sell them without activation? Nevermind, I'll check their site.

I have been playing around with it, I don't know how I will ever decide! They aren't on the website yet, but when I mentioned that I forgot about the in store activation thing. It makes me wonder if they will ever see the 3g ones direct, now that you mention it!

[aggieman]

Okay, then help me! design one for me. Less criticism, more assitance. please :smile:

there is a phone coming out July 11 that has an all black back. Take design cues from that one ;)

That is stupid! I may as well buy a 3g iphone instead if I were going to do that. :rolleyes: Even If I were getting a 3g iphone it would DEFINITELY be the white one.:cool:

well for the extra money you are spending, why not buy the 3g iPhone and get white :p and give that old iPhone to the hubby.

I can't believe you got rid of your iphone and got another n95! what were you thinking?

[aggieman]

I can't believe you got rid of your iphone and got another n95! what were you thinking?

I may get flamed for this, but it's a far more useful phone. the iPhone is prettier and more fun no doubt. I miss alot of things about having it. The addition of 3g and GPS cured 2 of my problems. I'll be getting another one for sure on July 11. I just won't get rid of my N95 this time. I'm going to keep both, and use the N95 when I need what it offers. If Apple continues to dictate what we can and can't have though, such as GPS apps from TomTom or Garmin through the App Store then I'll probably sell it off again in a few months and be done with it :frown: I like being able to do what I want with my investment.

"Judging" by the picture I think the iPhone's safari could beat its browser...I think its called "opera"?
-But maybe that because the iPhone has a larger screen, another +
-Also the iPhone is wicked thinner, like 2-3 iPhones in width to the n95 :)

[aggieman]

looks, of course the iPhone is better. never denied that. but sometimes it leaves a power user feeling empty. also, that's the original N95, not the N95-4, which is the 8gb North American version. Bigger screen, all black. And it is thicker to house the camera and larger speakers which are excellent and have quite a bit of thump to them. Thin is cool but I don't want to sacrifice function for the sake of being real thin. The N95 is still pretty thin , just not as thin as the iPhone, and it's much lighter. And if I have to carry an iPhone and a digicam with me, then which is thinner? :tounge: Just so we are comparing the right phone :tounge::

not knockin the iPhone, I still love it, I just don't think it will ever meet all my needs. I'm more of a power user and like to do as much as possible with my phone, so I'll keep both.

[projectdarkside]

Wow that is really pretty :)
-I've never seen the/ a black n95, cause whenever they were mentioned they were always that silverish gray, but the black looks very clean and that multi-media slide out feature seems cool also :) Nevermind Ive changed my perception on the n95, but I'm still loyal to the iPhone :)
But this is definitely the 2nd choice of a phone I would pick after the iPhone, I think my view would change even more if I had actually ever gotten to use/ play with one :(
-Cause the only people who seemed to have them were rich "business" type people, I last remember seeing the n95 for like $700 dollars?

[Luckykelleyk]

I agree, the n95 is a great phone. I would have both if I wouldn't get hassled about it by the husband :smile:

I agree, that silverish original one is very ugly and cheap lookin. I had the -3 which is the North American version of it for about 2 months and I couldn't stand the screen.

I got it for $510 through Dell Small Business. It's $799 direct from Nokia. If ya ever want one let me know, I got connections there ;)

And I agree the iPhone is still my favorite. I love the heck out of that thing. I've just been spoiled by that dang camera and I love to take pics-alot of them.

Another thing on the N95 browser, Opera is a 3rd party browser, I don't use it. I use the built in S60 browser which is based on WebKit-same as Safari in the iPhone. Safari still looks better, but functionally the N95 browser kills it. Playing youtube videos in the browser, espn video highlights in the browser.

But it says something for the iPhone that with all of that said, I'm still anxiously awaiting July 11 like a kid at Christmas. I've been missing having it so much that I have been lookin for cheapies on craigslist of the v1.

Do you use your iphone sim in the n95? ( I mean, did you, when you had both?)

[aggieman]

Were they're definitely not bad pics, I think its just obvious or easier to tell that it were taking with a "cellphone camera"- especially in the first to pics, but you were probably dancing when taking those 2:tounge:

well the dark ones are definitely not the quality of my Nikon S600, but when I've taken dark ones with the iPhone like that you can't even see things. The flash of the N95 is only a LED, whereas Nokia's highest rated camera phone, the N82 has a Xenon flash which is much better for night pics. Still not bad, not really print quality, but good for myspace, flickr, or whatever. The one out of my backyard, I actually printed out and it looked close to as good as the one from my Nikon. With the right lighting they are pretty high quality prints.

oh and the first two, I wasn't dancing, I was drunk lol. and I probably had fingerprints and condensation on the lens from sitting it on the bar. oops

If the logo isn't gonna be the chrome then i'd get it the same color as the bottom. Two color will look nice, but a third just seems kinda... obtuse

What is that? are you serious:wink: They will colorize the DOCK AND EAR BUDS!! Now thats cool, I definitely want one of my own:2cool:

[up10ad]

Kelley, I like the contrasting logo, even the purple. But I might spec the green as the metallic shown in the actual phone photo.

[projectdarkside]

REVEAL!! :tounge:

I think I'll wait till 3,000.

Most everybody here has me pegged anyways. I'm not exactly a very private person.

NO! You will be ostracized until you do your reveal! lol

[Hondamaker]

What's up with 'reveals'? There a many here who have reached 2000+ posts with no 'reveal'.

[Hayesimus]

no one important. lol just kidding. Its just a rite of passage. Most of the higher ups have done some sort of a reveal. Nice to put an avatar to a backstory as it were.

[Hondamaker]

I've only seen a few reveals, and it seems unkind to request 'reveals' only from certain people. The 'cliques' are returning, just like in high school.

i've seen quite a few people do it. I don't think it matters much about post counts, etc. and it sure isn't about any kind of clique. I hate cliques of any sort. I like seeing a little somethin personal from everyone who is willing to share. No personal stuff they wouldn't want to share of course, and if someone wishes to remain totally private thats cool too. I just like seeing people's interests, backgrounds, etc. Kinda to put a person with just a name you see on the screen so to speak. I don't care if the person has 10 or 1,000 posts, I'm interested in learning about anybody who is willing to share..

Yeah we don't ask for certain members to do so. Its just after 1,000 or more posts, its time to let us in so to speak. honda... are you waiting for your reveal invitation? lolz. Have you done one? I can't remember... I mean maybe you did... i dunno...

Synchstep is an app that plays music based on how fast you're walking. I've only tested it a little and it's kinda iffy right now, but the concept is neat.

I've been searching and searching for the Pedometer app, but no one seems to be hosting it anymore :(

And would you quit crying clique, ya old fart? Just cause you can't keep up with the younguns doesn't mean they're trying to snub you... :tounge:

I'm sure when the iPhone 3g comes out there will be a good Pedometer app. Hopefully something like this:

This is by far one of the best apps I've had on a phone and one of the reasons I won't let go of my N95 just yet.

[projectdarkside]

That sounds awesome guys :)
-See some people in the our official MacBook Pro thread said that the MBP would not be versatile(Size issue) enough for "general" college life ya kno?

Some where also saying that the since I wanted to pursue a degree in Finance/ and Accounting(double major) that most of the programs would be useless?
-I mean that could be true, but I'll be in college for about 5-6 years so I cant just afford to buy or upgrade some windows computer every 2-3 years when a MacBook Pro could last me throughout my whole college length :)

I've read yours already, it was really nice. What you said about you and your fiancee, a lot of guys don't admit these things. I give it a thumbs up!

I've been out of the loop so I may be waay off topic, but I'd be really interested to see a reveal from both Honda and Hippo! :2cool:

i just found a roll of film that i took on my 100th day anniversary with Ms. Coasts. we're now together more than three years. the photos are being developed as i write this. we're equally excited and scared to see what three years have done to us.

[Buffy]

Did Ms Coasts peep your monitor already?? Busted! That's okay, I like your new one just as well. I wonder if you'll be able to share some of the photos with us that you're busy developing...?

[kokogirl]

Buffy-how was your trip?

[Hondamaker]

I like it, too. I like all your photos, Coasts.

Yeah, Coasts, you have the coolest pics for avatars!

[Buffy]

Buffy-how was your trip?

Lisa, it was such fun! A much-needed getaway. We did a lot of shopping, eating, a little sight-seeing, though not much sleeping. I'm a big believer in the occasional girls' trips (or guys' trip, depending on gender). We did everything girls like to do, were waited on hand and foot, did not have to clean up after anyone, etc. Our next girls' trip is planned for the spring in NYC....but I need to see a beach before then. ;)

Are their really car-jackings in Brooklyn?

[coasts]

i would guess there are carjackings everywhere. Brooklyn, or NY on the whole, happens to be one of the safest U.S. cities to live in. With 8 million plus people, someone's gonna get shot and someone's gonna get their car jacked. its just probability.

[projectdarkside]

haha that true man! :)
-Its weird how the best cities arent praised for their good qualities but their negative on T.V :(

[connie]

So one of my friends I walk with at night, her uncle is some big wig oil guy that went to a confidential gasoline conference over the weekend. He told her things are so bad that in 2 years we can expect to see gas at $11-$12 a gallon. I guess we are all going to be riding bikes everywhere soon. As it is me and my friends are riding our bikes to the gym early in the morning before its hot, we have been running errands on our bikes too. It's actually kind of fun as long as its not too hot.

[projectdarkside]

Haha! Having gas in your car is gonna be the equivalent of owning a Ferrari lol!
-Cause people are gonna be like WoooooW, a car driving with gas lol!

My husband is a paramedic/firefighter and he is constantly going on more and more shootings, stabbings, etc. He says it's so sad to see young kids killing each other, it's so stupid. Sometimes innocent people get hit, other times they are just robbing people for a couple of bucks and without caring shot them too. He also goes on the aftermath of carjackings etc. I don't know how he does it, but he also has a lot of saves and a lot of good stories that come out of the bad. But it's truly a harsh world, everywhere.

[connie]

Yep, we have some cop friends who have warned us to buy key lock gas caps, because thats going to be the next big theft, stealing gas from cars. It's already happened at our local Walmart parking lot.

[Hayesimus]

yeah before long they are gonna have flashing lights and alarms around the gas cap so you know something is up if theres no gas pump nearby

[projectdarkside]

Yep, we have some cop friends who have warned us to buy key lock gas caps, because thats going to be the next big theft, stealing gas from cars. It's already happened at our local Walmart parking lot.I would never in a million years think that people would start robbing people for their GAS?
-The reason I think that, is cause how do people get gas out of cars gas tank?
-Without becoming to noticable obvious:gasp:

[Hayesimus]

dude gas swiping has been taking place since before I was born. 84. Btw

[projectdarkside]

Well I know that you can like go to the gas station and fill up the car then drive off, but how the he11 do you get gas stolen out of your car at Wal-Mart?:tounge:

[Hayesimus]

you need a water hose and a pair of lips.

[projectdarkside]

Haha! Thats what I was asking lol! I was wondering how could some steal gas out of someones car without looking stupidly obvious ya kno haha!
-And seeing a waterhose in someones gas tank is definintely obvious :tounge:

people usually do this at night and have a buddy be a look-out.

HAHA. I'll add it to my list of nicknames...

[up10ad]

Rick, I saw your posts on irovr, but I missed what happened to you. Are you doing OK?
Yes Lisa, things are fine, thanks. Here is the the story. For those that would rather not read all the details, just know that I had abdominal surgery and all is very well. You can stop reading here. I'm not going to get graphic, but I am describing exactly what happened and how it is being fixed.

My intestinal problem started last year on December 14th with stomach cramps that worsened until I went to the hospital on the 16th. I was diagnosed with a perforated colon and was severely septic, requiring immediate emergency surgery. They were able to clean things up and removed about 8" of my large intestine (a small portion actually). However, because of the severe infection they were unable to re-connect the ends and had to perform a temporary colostomy, where the colon is attached through the left side of the abdomen. UGH, that was not appealing. However, it was only temporary for about 6 months while everything calmed down and the inflammation went away. I was released from the hospital on Christmas day.

The last 6 months haven't been as crappy (no pun intended) as I imagined they would be and after a few weeks of recovery I was able to do most normal activities. I've been anticipating this most recent surgery for some time and finally went in on the 19th for the reversal. The idea was to remove the colon from the abdomen and re-attach it to the other end, completing the plumbing. The failure rate on this surgery is about 1 in 50 or 2%, mainly due to leakage at the re-attachment point. Failure results in yet another immediate surgery and colostomy and another 6-8 month healing before it can be attempted again.

I awoke from surgery and found that things didn't go real well. My surgeon had difficulty making a good reconnection and finally got what he hoped was a leak-free joint after 4 attempts. Because he wasn't confident that it would hold, he also performed a temporary ileostomy where a small loop of the small intestine is brought through the abdomen on the right side. The idea is that all intestinal processing will then be diverted out the ileostomy, resulting in no load on the newly reconnected large intestine. The ileostomy can be easily reversed in a relatively minor procedure in about 30-45 days after the colon has healed a bit. My repair joint did not leak and it appears that it will be holding fine.

So, here I am, home again but not quite back to normal yet. I have a gaping 3" hole in my abdomen on the left side where the colostomy was removed and it is connected to a wound vac that keeps negative pressure on it to promote healing. The incision for this surgery is in the exact place as the previous one, 15" directly down the center of my abdomen. On the right side I have the temporary ileostomy. I lost about 40 lbs. after the first surgery and have dropped an additional 20 so far. After a few weeks recovery I hope to schedule takedown of the ileostomy and begin using my regular plumbing.

Some of the above has been mentioned on iRovr with photos, and I'd like to thank iGregZ, iconnie, aggie, Gaia (mom), koko, patrick, Ramesh, Buffy, geordisjd, Psylichon and anyone I missed for posting there during my recovery. It was absolutely wonderful to pick up the phone and see the messages of encouragement. Thanks so much to all of you for being there.

[projectdarkside]

HAHA. I'll add it to my list of nicknames...Cool change in avatar:laugh2:

[up10ad]

Hayes, I agree with PDS, I like seeing your mug, you have ... expression. Keep changing it out every so often is my vote.

[Buffy]

Rick, I'm so glad that things seem to be healing well. What was the scare at the hospital yesterday, the false alarm? Also, did they speculate on what caused your colon to perforate in the first place?

[Hayesimus]

THanks PDS and Rick! Glad to hear that your recovering. I will be honest and admit that I skipped the gory details. I get lightheaded even reading about medical procedures.

[up10ad]

Rick, I'm so glad that things seem to be healing well. What was the scare at the hospital yesterday, the false alarm? Also, did they speculate on what caused your colon to perforate in the first place?Th original perforation was the the result of diverticulitis (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diverticulitis). The scare right at release yesterday happened during the routine removal of a small drain tube. The nurse released the stitch holding it in place and gave a tug but it didn't move. She tried a second time and it came out a few inches but the pain just about put me through the roof so she stopped. It apparently was adhered to something and broke free. After a minute or so we resumed and pulled the remaining 18" out without an problem. Just as she was disposing of the tube she noticed the the end had a broken edge, and it looked like the tip may have actually broken off inside. :angry: After several frantic calls to summon the surgeon and a radiologist we did some scans and determined that there was nothing foreign left inside me and the the end of the tube probably was cut that way prior to insertion. The doctor says that it was sterile, and on the outside chance that there is something in there, it will eventually make itself known and can be removed laparoscopically.

[up10ad]

THanks PDS and Rick! Glad to hear that your recovering. I will be honest and admit that I skipped the gory details. I get lightheaded even reading about medical procedures.

I agree, it seems like there isn't a lot of posting going on. I have checked a few times this week, and it seems like my posts seem to stack at the top sometimes. I am not a crazy poster, but a few times a day is enough to get me some quality posts :).

Anyways, keep posting guys, I need something to do in boring times :P.

[kokogirl]

Rick, Thanks for sharing. I am glad that you will be alright. Good thing you went to the hospital when you did. That kind of stuff scares me. When you get sick and then it ends up being serious, I mean.

I had an emergency abdominal surgery when I was 25. I will share my surgery tale, if anyone wants to read it.

[psylichon]

Sure let's hear it....

Guts and gore all over the floor, and me without my spoon!

[up10ad]

oo ooh tell us Lisa!

[kokogirl]

OK. Here is the surgery story. Stop reading if you do not want to hear about guts.

This happened when I was about 24. I woke up not feeling well at about 2-3am. I peed, and then pain radiated throughout my right side. I started throwing up, and I could not stop for several hours. I was also in a lot of pain on my right side. Darren was worried, and he made me go to the ER.

I get to the ER and it was right before they change shifts. They did their normal check in stuff, and then I had to wait for shift change. They thought I may have a kidney stone, so they want to do a sonogram. The whole time I am puking/dry heaving, which is more pleasant than hanging around in pain. They will not give me any pain meds until they diagnose. There was also a lot of waiting. Eventually, they find a cystic tumor on my right ovary. It has wrapped itself around the tube and cut off the blood supply, making it gross and gangrenous.

In between here Darren is very upset and crying and worried about me.

At about noon, the doctor tells me that I need to have surgery to remove it now. I tell him "OK, do it. I am in pain. I do not care" He tells me he may have to do a hysterectomy if it is bad or cancerous. (This is before I had kids). The pain is so bad that I tell him I do not care if he has to remove my right arm to make the pain go away, and to just do it.

So, they finally give me a shot in the rear for pain, but it really did not help at that point. Then they prepped me for surgery. Since they were not sure how it would go, I got a big cut from the belly button down. They removed the right ovary and fallopian tube only and sewed me back up. Everything ended up fine and I still had 2 beautiful babies a few years later. :smile:

[up10ad]

Wow, that would be scarry, especially knowing that it could render you childless. I'm so happy for your outcome! I guess Darren just aimed for the left side, huh. ;)

[Hawk]

I am very glad you are ok!! Ovarian cysts run in my family, so I understand. About 4 years ago, my little sister woke up feeling like someone was continually punching her in the stomach. Someone finally convinces her to go to the ER. They do a sonogram as well, and the one performing it looks to the other nurse and asks why she cannot "see" anything. The picture was blank.
It turns out that my little sister had a blood cyst on her ovary that burst, and her entire abdomin was filled with blood that was going toxic. They drained over a pint out of her. The good news was that they didn't remove anything except the cyst.
very scary thing in a woman's life. I am very happy for you that it didn't prevent you from having kids. It just make them that much more special.

[up10ad]

Ah grasshopper, we will teach you! ;) Follow Hayes' pic instructions and then for the review, talk about each feature. Pull up the page at Logitech and read what they say about it, and either confirm or deny how it is for you. You ould also pull up a review of it on CNet and just copy the part you agree with and re-write the parts you disagree with.

I'm waiting, 'cause I still think it sucked.

my phone decided to act up on the subway...

which is a catastrophe.

ususally i would go home, restore it, rejailbreak, and resync all my music, contacts, and backup my notes and stuff.

problem is... my house is on the other side of the world.

so, here i am, with 11 contacts (i had 473), no songs, and all my notes are gone too.

i am not very happy with my phone.

and i have at least 1 and a half months until i get back to Boston.

[projectdarkside]

Thats harsh man :wink:
-especially for the master mod/hacker of the EiC :(

[Hawk]

I was trying to think of a way you could fix it, but it would require you to be able to remote into your PC back at home. If you could, then you just need to copy a few files and setup whatever PC you have available.

Good Luck. I think I would probably lose my mind if that happened. As it stands, I think I am going to invest in a large Jump drive and backup all my phone sync data to it and keep it with me just in case this ever happens to me.

Subliminal message hehe...

I am thinking of selling my 4gb on ebay as well as probably selling some of the 20+ cases I have. I was thinking of doing it not because the v2 is all that great but for more space. Should I do it? I don't know what to do? To sell or not to sell.....that is the question. I am so undecided. :confused:

[projectdarkside]

Well I can see that you cat loves it :)
-and your 4gigger is an iDay phone. . .so if you sell it, you can say it was "The Limited Edition" haha!

Hey Man - wrote you an email... Did you see it?

[projectdarkside]

I'm checking it now Ramesh :)

See, I tend to use mine quite regularly. For example, for the past few days, I've been waiting for an email from a local football club manager to confirm wether or not there are vacancies for me to fill...wish me luck :D

[projectdarkside]

Good Luck Psy!!
-What position are you hoping to get?

I never tried out for any sport because I never wanted to be that guy were theres 60 seconds left on the clock and the ball is passed or thrown to you and miss the shot or catch :embarrassed: Haha! I really couldnt deal with and would probably end-up quiting at that very moment Lol!

But good luck man, make me proud:wink:

Haha yeh that would be a pretty daunting experience.

Defense: Centre back hopefully, but there might the problem that the team is filled, in which case, I will have to find another team. :(

Thanks, man!

[projectdarkside]

I dont if it like this in the UK but in America theirs some pretty big guys for their age ya kno what I mean. Like they might be 14-16 and look like they're 18 with facial hair and everything Haha!
-But I guess we can blame that on McDonalds Lol!:tounge:

Ya kno just make sure that you what your competition is, and weight lift according to size. Cause defense is very hard man and I'm sure filled with injuries if you dont have the weight to hold back the offense :gasp:

[kokogirl]

Talking about email, my 9 year old begged me for her own email account. Now she emails her friends about important things like "Camp Rock" Disney show. She likes to check it daily. lol

Sounds like you're a good mom, by monitoring. That's awesome. Can't be too careful nowadays.

I bet the first phone she's going to want is a BlackBerry :wink:

...unless she already has one, lol. (has a cell phone)

seems like she's on the right course. i had my own telephone at nine years old and definitely wrote letters to friends. email is just the new way of doing things. best to start young.

[projectdarkside]

Yup Yup gotta stay hip with technology I guess hehe
-If you came to my school and asked for someone's e-mail address they would instead give you their myspace ROFL!! Everyone here are such "tools" man :tounge: Idk I just never got into the myspace thing, so if you got one no offense

[Lincoln]

I don't have a MySpace either, don't plan on getting one. Everybody tells me to get one, but it's a waste if you ask me.

Not American football.

MySpace isn't that bad, but it's not what it was a couple years ago. I met my Wife on MySpace.
Now, I check it occationally. Nothing really going on there worth signing in everyday for.

Really? That's amazing! I never thought those kind of things worked out...

I'm more of a Facebook guy :2cool:

Facebook or Myspace

It just depends which site most of your friends are on. I really don't like myspace, but many more of my friends have myspace than facebook, so thats what I use primarily.

[Hawk]

Honestly, I don't like facebook, but I am in the minority there.
I like MySpace's interface better. I don't like the way Facebook is setup - especially for friend requests and comments. It irritates me.

[projectdarkside]

MySpace it is :)
-Im gonna make one tonight I guess, do we have an EiC myspace thread or whatever?

[Lincoln]

An EIC MySpace. There's an idea. Shall I create it?

[projectdarkside]

Go ahead man I'd support it :laugh2:

[Luckykelleyk]

PDS when I saw your new avatar I was very confused as I hadn't kept up with your reveal thread after you posted it initially. I have to say also that it takes a lot of guts to admit you made a mistake and tell the truth. Not to bring up old stuff but there was a member here not to be named that was 15 and swore to all of us he was 19 even though we all knew he was lying. If he hadn't pretended he was something he wasn't none of us would have cared that he was fifteen. Honesty is a good quality. Plus, if you tell the truth you don't have to remember all the details to keep the lie going. I bet you feel better now dontcha? :wink:

[projectdarkside]

Hellz yeah I do:laugh2:
-Thanks for noticing, and motivating me to never ever think about doing something as dumb as what I did in my reveal haha:wink:

Only bad thing is that I did lose a good friend after the reveal and never wants to speak to me again :(

Thats too bad. Well, we live and we learn and these things are inevitable. Maybe he or she will come around.

[projectdarkside]

Hopefully, but I doubt it :(
-Even if he did I wouldnt accept his apology, cause even after be honest and everything and still choosing to ditch me cause of what was going on in forums around that time probably didnt deserve to be my friend anyways :smile:

Its to late to make another reveal, so I think I'll just change my avatar periodically cause the picture I'm showing are like week old bodybuilding pics of me, I need to get some in my McDonalds Work Uniform and stuff Haha!!!

[Ramesh]

People make mistakes. If "friends" can't forgive, can they really be a "friend"?

Sorry, not to re-hash anything, but it does take some major testicular fortitude to fess up to mistake and take it like a man (or woman). I like you more now than I did before. That's the truth.

/soapbox.

[Ramesh]

BTW - PDS, I emailed you some pics of the phone dude. Lemme know if the links are good.

[projectdarkside]

OMG man I just got done viewing the pics and you werent kidding your iPhone looks as if it came straight from Apple :wink: wicked props man!
-It looks amazing man, the best for sale iPhone I've ever seen man!! Now when I get it I have to make sure it stays in the case also so that when you wanna see progress pics of her she'll be in the condition in which you gave her to me :laugh2:
