To respond to "Jess"...I'll admit that the 1 free service call sucks as far as Apple warranties for the iPods go, but I wouldn't necessarily call it screwing the consumers...it's not a secret that consumers are not made aware of in many forms prior to purchasing an iPod. Assuming you are a responsible consumer, even the most simplistic of research shows you this is the case if you opt to maintain only the standard 1 year warranty offered with iPods. If you choose to get the AppleCare plan to extend the warranty this is not the case as it also takes care of the pesky 1 free call thing. As with any product, no matter what there are always bad ones in the bunch. And considering that iPods dominate the market it is safe to assume that the number of bad ones out there appear to be higher simply because the sheer number of iPods (good AND bad) are great. I'm not a Apple loyalist...I don't own any other Apple products except for iPods and have had several...a mini, a 1st gen nano, a 2nd gen nano, a 5th gen video iPod, and a 2nd gen shuffle. I have never had to use the 1 free call for any of these iPods and have never experienced any of the complaints that some have had. I have had all of these for various reasons...the 1st gen nano I got as an upgrade to my mini, but the mini still works perfectly to this day (it has been given to a family member). The 2nd gen nano and the 5th gen Video were both gifts. The Shuffle I actually purchased for my son as a Christmas gift. I know that my experience with iPods is not an exception as I know many people with them that have had the same success or greater than I have. I think it's unfair to denounce an entire company because of your bad experience with one product. As far as CS...trust me...although I have never had to contact Apple's their CS is nowhere near the worst out there...nor is it uncommon to deal with language barriers when it comes to dealing with reps. Welcome to the world of mass outsourcing. Most companies have used this practice and in return, consumer complaints have risen. It sucks but it's the way things currently are. Tricks I have learned include immediately esculating an issue...you will usually be transferred to a call center or management official that is most likely "American" (assuming you are a US customer).

Anyway, I got completely off topic and I apologize. My original point is this...for now, the iPhone, as glitzy as it appears, is something that I won't be running to get. I already have a MP3 phone and I never use that feature...that's what my iPod is for. My phone is also capable of using the internet. I don't use it...that's what my desktop and laptop is for. Remember the days when a cellphone was just that...a cellphone? ]]>Jun 28th 2007 11:58AMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/06/27/the-first-iphone-reviews-are-in/http://www.switched.com/2007/06/27/the-first-iphone-reviews-are-in/I quote:
"Oh well, looks like AT&T is becoming the official scapegoat for all complaints iPhone!"

Once the bugs are gone we will be able see Verizon and Apple shine, but all for not.

Out of Microsoft and Apple who doesn't throw some wrench in the whole thing anyways. Even Verizon is guilty of it.]]>Jun 29th 2007 6:28PMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/06/27/the-first-iphone-reviews-are-in/http://www.switched.com/2007/06/27/the-first-iphone-reviews-are-in/
