- doctorfungi, on 10/11/2007, -33/+242It's a ***** phone. Get over it.
- FrozenGonad, on 10/11/2007, -12/+147I'm so ***** sick of hearing about the iPhone that I'm sick of hearing people whine about being sick about hearing about the iPhone to the point that I'm now sick of myself.. I'm giving up on the Internet for the rest of the week. ***** everybody
- ilkeryoldas, on 10/11/2007, -5/+117Wiimote did it
- mushroom, on 10/11/2007, -12/+118Thanks for my new desktop wallpaper
- hmemcpy, on 10/11/2007, -16/+112This sight makes only the virgins cry.
- punx777, on 10/11/2007, -25/+109This device gets my vote for the most annoying product of the year. Anyone been on Gizmodo over the last couple weeks? It used to be one of my daily visits.
- AvinKoan, on 10/11/2007, -11/+60*Title Correction* A Sight That Would Make Most Diggers Laugh (FUNNY PIC)
- mal1964, on 10/11/2007, -7/+53Free replacement make all stockholders cry.
- Legionnaire, on 10/11/2007, -7/+50This is the part where I criticize your use of hyperbole by telling you I found my dog dead last week.
- Yarnage, on 10/11/2007, -1/+29I used to work for Apple Customer Service and let me tell you - DO NOT EXPECT REPLACEMENT ON ANY APPLE PRODUCTS IF YOU DESTROY THEM
If it's a first generation item, like when the iPod Video, iPod Nano, and now the iPhone come out, Apple Engineering instructs all Customer Service Reps and Apple store reps to capture specific amounts of them depending on the failure and many times you can get an item replaced even if you practically destroyed it this way but once they get enough captures, then the game is over and they won't do jack ***** for you. - thegreypilgrim, on 10/11/2007, -16/+43*****
- Millsee, on 10/11/2007, -15/+42For *****'s sake if I go to one more link that tricks me into a thread about the ***** iPhone, I'm gonna tear someone's ***** off.
Put 'iPhone' in the subject you little *****! - Fratm, on 10/11/2007, -3/+27Digg is just as bad. :(
- KMye, on 10/11/2007, -0/+24Not for happenstances that clearly the customer's fault. I was genius enough a couple weeks ago to send my cute little 2-month old Creative Zen through the wash in a cargo pocket, and somehow I don't think Circuit City will be replacing it. I think it's more likely apple has orders out to keep everyone happy and any kind of bad press at a minimum during the launch period, than any kind of standing policy.
- Yashar, on 10/11/2007, -5/+29Tape fixes everything.
- EochaidRiata, on 10/11/2007, -6/+29Cry? I love seeing the AT&T logo smashed.
- crushfan, on 10/11/2007, -0/+21Don't use @'s dude, we have hyperdynamicreplyable comment system!
- pifko1987, on 10/11/2007, -7/+27You know what's sadder? PEOPLE WHO KEEP SUBMITTING iPHONE ARTICLES ON DIGG!
- tnatharik, on 10/11/2007, -7/+25Get over it.
- dmightx, on 09/21/2008, -10/+28Actually... I think its the other way around... Kinda made me laugh.
Too bad for whoever broke it though... - Murdats, on 10/11/2007, -4/+21why would anyone be jealous? I already have a phone
- Cwo655321, on 10/11/2007, -6/+17sorry about killing your dog last week :P
- JetwingX, on 10/11/2007, -3/+14i doubt it's to keep away any bad press. from what i've been told, Apple wants to turn people in to promoters. and a good retail experience like this is the way to do it.
- grazwa, on 10/11/2007, -0/+11Agreed. If I go to a shop, buy a phone, launch it across the shop and then try to claim an replacement, I'd have no chance. Its very rare (in the UK) to have a shop repair/replace an accidentally damaged item unless you have purchased an extended warranty.
- Nowaiman, on 10/11/2007, -15/+24I smiled. Digg me down!
- Septimus, on 10/11/2007, -1/+9Comment of the day... thanks.
- tdous, on 10/11/2007, -3/+11Indeed. It's also a ***** title and description that wastes the time of those people who are curious yet don't care what happens to some idiots $500 phone.
- ricksite, on 10/11/2007, -0/+8I'm surprised the headline didn't read 'BREAKING:'.
- gardnert1, on 10/11/2007, -2/+10the iphone gets my vote for item suddenly most likely to be used to kill someone out of priciple alone.
- Murdats, on 10/11/2007, -3/+11so your saying your a virgin too?
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -8/+15I suppose the reason they gave you a new phone was that you might take the story to Digg and give them $5 million worth of publicity.
- rebrad, on 10/11/2007, -6/+13I'm sure we'll many more over the next few weeks. Great Pic.
- suriyou, on 10/11/2007, -17/+24Buried, because it's lame.
As are all the other iPhone stories.
Bury me, I don't care :) - Davolo, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6how many ducks to a roll?
- AndrewDB, on 01/10/2008, -9/+14Broken iPhone. Nothing more to see here folks. Move along, next post.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -9/+14Boohoo some idiot I don't know on the Internet broke his phone. This is truly the saddest thing I have ever seen.
I mean people don't die every ***** day due to AIDS, wars, malaria and *****.. No the saddest thing ever is a broken piece of hardware.
***** you. - dxprog, on 10/11/2007, -2/+6Add engadget to that list as well.
- BannaEast, on 10/11/2007, -7/+11That is a lot of damage for simply droping on the corner of the table. Seems abit weak.
From what height did it fall and how far down was the table? - brufleth, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4Are you some how implying that to be utterly absorbed in the particulars of a relatively meaningless piece of disposable hardware is anything close to shallow and materialistic?
How dare you insinuate that caring about real world long term issues like war, disease, and environment more than a broken piece of first gen techno trash is superior!! - quikboy, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4Yeah, I pretty much stopped reading Gizmodo. I can take some Apple news, but post after post? It's like the world doesn't exist to them anymore. They scarcely mention anything else. At least Engadget has a few breaks between iPhone post.
- Pixelante, on 10/11/2007, -4/+8Diggers cry for a lot of things, a broken iPhone wouldn't even be a big cause for despair.
Our lives are pathetic enough that the mere contemplation of their hollowness is cause enough to cry a river of bitter tears. - digg-dugg, on 10/11/2007, -3/+7damn, thats a bad finger print
- BlackAle, on 10/11/2007, -4/+7Just the rest of the week? Being a little optimistic aren't you? :)
- maxlew, on 10/11/2007, -3/+6have you ever tried scratching glass, seriously go to the nearest window and try and scratch it
- eridius, on 10/11/2007, -6/+9If you're going to look at it that way, do we really need *anything*? What about that brand new computer you just got? I'm sure you didn't really need it, you could have made do with your old computer. Or how about that fancy restaurant you went to for dinner last week? You didn't need to go there, you could have made do with the old cheap standbys. And the new plasma TV you just bought? You didn't really need that either.
This isn't about need. This is about want. And I want a phone that's a real joy to use. The iPhone delivers where all other phones fail. - migitalwarfare, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3yes, anyone that ever has anything negative to say about the iphone is just jealous. it couldn't possibly be that people are sick of hearing about the damn thing, could it?
- dRuNk3nIrIsHmEn, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3I buried you because you said "feel very not to understand," not because of a missing /sarcasm tag.
- MadOtaku, on 10/11/2007, -3/+5I watched a documentary (history channel) on DUCK tape a while back. It said that it was invented by the military to keep ammunition cases dry (sealed the edges). They wanted something that was "like water off a duck's back."
Later it was used to seal air ducts under the name 'duct tape'. So, as you can see, you're both right; Duck tape was the original name used by the military, and duct tape was a commercial product derived from the former. - Kurisuku, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Actually, if you read the flickr page, Apple ~DID~ take the phone back and replace it.
No, "accidental damage" like this usually is NOT covered by the 90-day gaurantee... BUT you have to remember that most stores are ran by level-headed managers who will take the phone back for you if you're a reasonable, intelligent person who really just had some bad luck. They're nice like that. The dudes at my Apple store have helped me out with plenty of things they probably 'shouldn't' have simply because they were nice, I was nice, and it was all nice. - migitalwarfare, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3i had a feeling this is what they were doing. giving a free replacement for something obviously your fault doesn't sound at all like apple's SOP
