go and make a Genius Bar appointment at your local Apple Store and they'll be able to help you out.

( I've worked at an Apple Store for nearly two years,   )

.  Tech/Customer support people like calm customers and are more willing to help out :)



By chance, my fellow helpful OZMO buddy......pal........friend..etc ..etc....etc.......do you happen to work close, handy to Sydney....        [bow_down]
Both Des and I would love to meet you......... ;D
Do you like tea buns by chance............?

In some ways Rob was correct.............I should of known better than go for a ride with Teff (God of rain n thunder)
without a plastic bag. [laugh]
Brian had a few wines under his belt last night Rob so please excuse his comments
but I have always wondered what that empty jar was for your mantle piece  ;D

Thanks for the advice CrashAstern , Ill try the honest approach , it worked last time when I dropped it.
I am due an upgrade in a few months so that is the other option to pressure Optus to renew early.

OMG!!!  Don't use Arborio!

You should know your iphone is made in China.  Using Arborio will only make it worse.  Better to use Jasmine.

hahaha, awesome thread... I'm going to be adding a ziplock bag to my essentials bag of puncture kit, chocolate and water for ride days.

I may also add rice, just to have something to cook up and eat if I get a puncture but it doesn't rain!

But seriously, I echo the others who just said take it back to Apple Genius Bar, they'll sell you a new refurbed one for $250, or maybe free depending on who you get.

i was advised by a retailer that optus will handset upgrade your contract from the 19th month

far better than waiting for 24 months

i dont care if you have been a mechanic for 10 years doing something for a long time does not make you good at it, take my gf for an example shes been walking for 28 years and still manages to fall over all the time.

Phone now works but mine didn't drown like Des's.....but my calls wre dropping out and no one could hear me.....Donald aka Rob S was nearly wetting himself with laughter when he rang me and realised what had happened. ...  so much so that he has rung me today as well "just to make sure your phone is ok".....were his words......Bastard wOBBARRT    !
.....Driving home this afternoon i needed to take a call so i pulled over to connect my plug in earpiece but it wouldn't properly connect........problem solved........a grain of that bloody rice trapped itself inside the connection......oh dear........was just not my weekend........
