Stolen iPhone's?

Do you think that if you have an iPhone, it is at a higher risk of being stolen then a blackberry or palm treo?

To an idiot yes high risk of being stolen. But any rational thief would know that it has a serial number registered to you and whenever it is plugged into iTunes it is transmitted to apple and if stolen they will track it down for you.

Yeah but the bozo who buys the hot iphone on the street for $200 doesn't know that.

if a bozo buys an iPhone for $200 thinking its not hot he really is a bozo and I hope he is just barely smart enough to remember where he got it.

If that happens, I will have already written down my 15 digit IMEI number and will call Att and tell them to blacklist that phone on the network.

But I guess they still would have the best iPod even made.

Let's just hope this doesn't get all crazed like the Air Jordans where people were getting shot over their shoes.

I realize this goes to my JULY 4th thread but..."GUYS watch your IPHONE July 4th. And to the earlier point. Idiots on the street would definitely be dumb enough to buy a stolen iphone before realizing they cant use it.

Oh yeah, that....

I don't think the iPhone is going to be that big of a craze, but it will be huge. Just watch it and don't be dumb, and you'll be all good. You guys are acting like it's a baby

Note that in that last line I am leaving room for a joke

lol I get the baby joke. I was thinking whether or not Ive anticipated anything else like this before. I wasnt anticipating Treo...I just went and Bought the thing. I DO, however remember when I wanted my 1999 Isuzu Trooper and I behaved exactly like this. Looking online ..researching etc..
This is for sure the first time Ive posted comments with such frequency. And gladly by the way.
