Problems with your MobilePhone??(including iPhone)

[FallenHeaven]

Maybe I can't give any advice about motorcycle engineering or motorcycle riding...
However I think I can share my experience with mobile phones especialy with Apple's iPhone.
I've been working as a technician in a small mobile phones retailer and service center (www.cellphones.gr) for the last two and a half years so.... if you have a problem with your mobile phone or if you nedd advince/oppinion on bying a new phone,post it,and if I can I will help you or I will point you to the right direction.

I likes me nokia 5800 - but if youv ever been tempted to sms while driving, this will make it absolutely impossible. FUCKING touch screen I got fat fucking fingers, and I'm not using a stylus pen in public like a complete poonce.These phones are a bit of an iphone killer. Apple software shits me to tears but each to their own I guess.

As far as I know its re flashing. Like with my old phone optus in all their wisdom decided to have a big fucking emblem take up a 1/4 of my screen and a key that was perfectly positioned to be accidently pressed and off it goes on optus mobile internet and costs me heaps. I wanted to have it reflashed to the manufacturs actual settings, not "factory settings" which just kept the optus crap on there.

Yes of course,
We buy and sell used iPhones all the time.

It's called "RESTORING" in iTunes terms,
and if you put your iPhone in Recovery mode,restoring it will bypass
the user-passcode that someone might have enabled and then forgoten.

I think this might cost you a fortune!!!I live in Greece!!!

I might have been misunderstood,I don't want to advertise or even sell any kind of product or service!



HOWEVER... I can give you some advice on the regular price for that kind of service and product combination here in Greece (pair of N95 speakers and N95 frontcover + the work that needs to be done)

A pair of those + the fitment work costs about 30 euro = 52 Aussie Dollars

And this one + the fitment work costs about 24 euro = 42 Aussie Dollars
