Woo Hoo... Got My iPhone Back
 

Stopped in at the Apple shop on the weekend, as my wifes phone she dropped was no longer under warranty, and even if it was, doesn't cover being dropped, so we asked them how much to repair and they have the most simplest system I have ever come across from any provider to date... pay $250 repair cost and swap the phone over for a fully refurbished (looks brand new) iphone. Easy as that... so now I have what could only be explained as a brand new iphone. The HTC spare we had actually put me off using the phone, and my I didn't even respond to SMS because it uses the Windows OS with scribble... which was great years ago, but hard to return too when you have used an iphone for 18 months.

Much happier now with my phone. I was a bit upset that it came with 4.x on it, and they wouldn't revert it for us, but when I plugged it in here as I had a current backup of my phone before giving it to my wife, when I chose to restore the full backup it also restored the OS to 3.x along with all data... so that impressed me even more. I got a new iphone 3GS with 3.x OS. Happy as a pig in mud now.
