Or much cheaper should you get something simpler. Or simply buy another $500 phone in the future may what you prefer given cellphones to many (not all) are follow the Jones. Many people may not be happy with a new old phone anyway ...... Being the minority, I just get the phone 1yr used or 2yr used on Trademe for a good price. I don't use the music or the net features anyway. I only use the alarm function to get up for work :D Never sent a PXT in my life :p I have never had a phone that broke anyway bought used or new with the odd drop to the floor.... I still have my Nikon 6230 I think, got that in 2004 I think after I was sick of a Motorola flip screen.	Nomad (952)

The Act does not cover •goods bought by auction or by tender •goods bought from a private seller •commercial goods - goods of a type that are ordinarily bought for use in offices, factories or farms may be covered by the Sale of Goods Act. The Sale of Goods Act may also cover those goods bought before the date the Consumer Guarantees Act became effective. •commercial services - services of a kind that are ordinarily supplied to offices, factories or farms - eg, top-dressing, commercial property leases, commercial building maintenance, livestock transportation. :)	Trev (427)

If they knew why, they probably wouldnt have replaced it It's not illegal, but you're right - it does void the warranty. daywalker: If Apple investigates why you returned it, they may decide to make you pay for it, seeing as you broke it (and as far as I'm aware, they would be perfectly within their rights to do this, as you were not acting in good faith when you returned it). You should also know that using itunes to restore the official software was all you needed to do in this case - the phone itself wasn't damaged.	Erayd (23)
