just buy an iphone off craigslist or ebay and jailbreak it

I dropped it and the case split now it's missing the volume control and the slide to turn the volume on and off. Also the slot for the sim card is cracked and the sim card won't go back in. Wouldn't mind getting like $150 for it since it sill works. gonna see if I can find someone to fix it first. $500 for older technology is outrageous!

$150 for a broken iphone that needs new housing, new sim tray, new buttons, plus the time to rebuild the phone. i'll pass as these go on ebay for less than that in better condition.

This is why you get insurance/applecare...

Regardless, just buy one of craigslist, don't pay fuckin $474 for one! And get insurance/applecare this time, and a good case like an otterbox. If you complain about a case being too bulky or whatever, then it's your fault for breaking your phone and I have no sympathy.

LOL I had an Otterbox and took it off to play a game because it was too bulky //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif Stupid games. AT&T won't insure iPhones or at least they didn't when I got it last December. $150 was the price because broken on eBay go for like $200-250. If I can't get it fixed locally I will probably let it go for cheaper.

Should get an HTC Incredible from Verizon for $100.

I would but I don't get Verizon service in my area. I only get AT&T and U.S. Cellular.

This is probably for the best, you should get an android phone

Ive had all of the iphones and I was just tired of the same crap every year.

Its worth the time to research which Android phone is right for you

The inspire is $399 and you wont be locked into a contract

lol, so a $430 discount is believable but $530 isn't? Best Buy had it for free on Black Friday then after that for at least a month. It may be $100 now but it's old tech, it will go on sale again.
