I need reassurance..

purchased a black 32gb iphone 5 with all primary accessories.. + 3 cases(1 otter, 1 bumper 1 other) + apple care for 500..

did i win?
I've owned smart phones for 5 consecutive years and I've only broken one in that span and when I did I had an upgrade available for another one. I broke the microusb port on my EVO3D so technically an external charger would have solved that.

Extended warranties are a waste of money. You're better off keeping that money because more than likely your product won't break and if it did its cheap enough to get it fixed.

Id agree with you 99% of the time but to get the parts to replace an iPhone 5 screen is 300$ so you lose if you wanna fix ya screen yourself. They're also hard as hell to come by for regular people too. Apple care is a great deal if you can afford it and youre clumsy specially if you have an iPhone 5.

I agree. for each of my blackberries that broke. both at the USB port, I simply copped new ones off craigslist for less than it would cost to have phone insurance and what not.

my last iphone 4s power button broke. got that fixed off craigslist for $50. then sold it the same day for $250 while copping a larger iphone 4s 32GB for only $225 off craigslist. I dont waste my money with those warranties.

buy an at&t phone and get it jailbroken and unlocked. you can probably do the last part yourself if you're even somewhat computer savy. the phone company may even unlock it for free if u ask them.

Brehs, how can I transfer songs from my itouch to itunes? I know there has to be a way. My itouch can sync with more then one computer but my iphone can sync with only one. I have no songs on my laptop everything is on my family computer but i already synced my iphone with the laptop and if I sync it with the computer my 4s will be erased. Apples makes this complicated for no reason, very aggravating :mindblown:

you're going to have to use a program to explore the ios device's file structure and find the mp3's

much easier than it sounds

check this idownload article on it but I think it only covers jailbroken options
The best iOS to PC file browsers

or this one

Wow thanks man, Second link has something called sharepod. Free download and easy to use. Worked like a charm. Even checked it for viruses and its clean. Now my iphone and my itunes on my laptop has all the songs that were on my itouch and my itunes on my desktop +rep once I'm off 24's
