  1. Yeah, all we will tell is biased

    iPhone is the safe choice, but expensive. Android has quite some good phones, but some 'misses' as well. BlackBerry seems to lose popularity by the day. Currently I own a Windows Phone (Nokia Lumia 800), which is not that popular either.

    Personally I would advise a Windows Phone, but thats my taste. If you do so, be aware that a few apps are not available yet on this platform.
  2. Look for a phone that makes phone calls at the least.
  3. Has aanyone ever sent in their iPod for repairing? Is it worth it or in the end more expensive than a new one? I'm talking about my iPod classic with 60gb. It's 6 years old by now,but a new same one still goes for over 300 Euro. Repair or new one?
  4. Probably not worth it - six years old, it'll cost you more to send in than just getting a new one. I know I was quoted originally $300 or so on an iPod that was worth around $400.

    Have you checked out any second-hand places? Usually you can pick up gadgets and things pretty cheap (well relatively anyway) if you know where to look. I saw an iPod with 30GB hard drive going for $120. Was almost gonna pick it up at that price.

    What's its problem?

    Depends what's wrong with it. If it's hardware failure, buy a new one. If it's dead because the battery has given up, they'll probably replace the battery for something fairly reasonable, well I just checked and it's £40 in the UK...

    I'd try and force something out of it before you go and spend your money. Drew posted a link above. Sergio mentioned DFU mode. There are a set amount of options to recover a dead iPod, if none work, then it needs to be updated.
  11. If it is hardware failure, they won't give you a new one if you've had it for 6 years - because it is likely that it's out of guarantee. They will probably just send the old one back and then you would have to buy a new one. If it's a battery issue on the other hand - which I think is most likely - then you can actually buy a new battery for £20 (if you search around, you might even get it cheaper) with the tool to separate the iPod so you can get in the middle. I believe it is easy to actually replace the batteries too. But if you are a bit worried about doing it yourself, you can always get Apple to do it for £40.

    It might not even be battery or hardware failure, it could be anything as mentioned above.
  12. It shouldn't be a battery failure if Kirsten hadn't noticed any dicrease on batterly life and overall performance... Had you, K?
