I bought my iphone on July 14, 2007. I activated it, had charging problems with it, and eventually had to send it in for service. I was sent another unit with a different serial no. I re-activated it, and I explained this to Apple,but have neen turned down for the store credit five times;no matter how many times I explain it! I guess ok have to call them, cause email ain't working! THis is not my FAULT! Well Terry, I wish my experience was as good as yours! I bought my iphone on July 14, 2007.

OPEN LETTER TO STEVE JOBS

Once again, apple let us down in less than month. !!!!! Im a senior graphic designer/photgrapher down here in Mexico, and Ive been a loyal AppleFan/Consumer since my first click, back in 1990, ” I dont even know how to turn on a windows pc”.

During all this years, Ive been promoting and contributing to apple´s fight, making many people ( friends, co-workers, family etc. ) switch from windows pc to a more fun and easy world with apple computers just for love. ( free )

Every time I travel to the US I just have 2 things for sure: pass through all the painful US migrations and customs tramits, and spend hours in an Apple store, and yes, I am one of the millions of people that makes Steve Jobs proud during his keynote address every year when he mention the number of visitants to the Apple store.

All of that for a kick in the………

I am one of the early buyers of the iPhone, and I am one of the first people in Mexico to have one in my hands, “even if the handset does not work in my region” and I felt very upset with the drop price issue, but I can live with that, its technology, and it happen very frequently.

When I knew about the open letter of Steve Jobs last week, I felt a very little relief but what makes me very angry was the:
