      took my 16GB iPhone 3G to the Apple store...
      inquired about a replacing the back of the phone
      as the gloss on the back of my white iPhone had hairline cracks...
      the plastic isn't cracked... just the gloss coating...

      they said they'd give me a new one (refurbished) for 9 grand
      warranty n all.

      have been waiting for the official release of the iPhone 4...
      iPhone 5 will prolly be out 6 months from when the iPhone 4 releases officially in India.

        I had found a backcover for the iphone in the reliance digital while searching for something. I think you should try it from there. It can cost you relatively a lesser price.

          i've got a few of those...
          but even the slimmest slip-on makes the phone bulkier... din't want that.

          that's why i want to replace the back of the phone.

            I am talking about the glossy metal surface on the back of the iphone dude. Am not talking about the cover for the phone.

                It was some sort of back panel for iphones. I dint observed it carefully.

                  yup... those make the phone bulkier... by about 2mm on the back and 2mm on each side.

                  which is unacceptable for me.


                  thanks anyway.


                  replacing the actual back of the iPhone is prolly my only option.

                  and original white back costs 4800 bucks.

                      No idea about it. Dint enquired about it. The only thing i liked in the iphone was its touch responsiveness & sleekness. I would rather get a N8 which is more loaded & costs less. C'mon yaar you dont even get a video call in it.

                        Mmmm. I too heard about the lag in the UI. But I am more inclined towars the X10 mini. Looks cool and has Android. Still confused.
                        is it e6 or c6 am confused,, how much does Nokia c/e6 cost...if its c6 is ur case,,then x6 is better than c6...if u r ok with on-screen qwerty then go for x6 or else go for c6 which has a physical qwerty.de other advantage of x6 over c6 is its capacitive screen,,,which makes a big difference.SE X10 mini is also a great phone,,but it looks very small for normal usage,u might find it difficult to text & search contacts.coz its screen is very small and on my view its lil girlish and its not a full fletched android phone as of its sibling X10...u might find x10 mini UI lil faster than Symbian.
                        its better u go to a mobile dealer and chk out which suits u better..coz al three r different phones physically. there is not much difference in spec too..

                          What is the price of x10??

                          How about the galaxy 3 & 5 or even the new wave??

                            ya i knw..but i have both n8 and 3gs and n8 is VFM but kinda sluggish and has too many new windows just to complete a task.. 3gs jailbreaked and unlocked has all what i need and even more..we have secondary camera for such a long time but we really dont use it much right...3gs is just good for touch and apps...

                                Galaxy S is much faster than N8 and web browsing experience is anyday superior to N8, TV Out in Galaxy S is not as good as N8 but its passable concidering there is no official TV Out cable for Galaxy S.

                                Apps and UI of Galaxy S is superior to N8. Display of Galaxy S is way superior to N8 and if u like watching movies, watch Hellraiser or The Shawshank redemption at 720p in Galaxy S. Man, u will enjoy a lot .

                                Now if u compare Iphone 4 and Galaxy S, iphone simply rules, Safari browser kicks butt and its silky smooth UI keeps u drooling. But i dnt like the fact u cant transfter data over Bluetooth, u cant even connect a Bluetooth controller to enjoy those SNES, NES, GBA and PS1 emulators .
                                This lil more fun is not worht paying 10k over galaxy S and N8. I will rather save that money for my R1 Saving Scheme .
                                I agree with your post. I, despite knowing all facts, still chose the N8.

                                Not because of one feature, but because its a nice all-rounder. Its still the most capable phone if you forget the UI, speed and feel. You can spread a Wifi Hotspot, snap from the 12 mp camera, use gesture control hardware, etc.

                                It's like all in one. And since I'm using it, I can say that speed is not that bad... Its acceptable enough.
                                Since 2-3 days, using 24 GB's of its storage with 13~ GB filled, I didn't notice any such big lag.

                                I still think that Android has a little bit more to mature in terms of features, battery efficiency, etc. But its a great OS though.
