So supposedly this phone is in perfect condition, except the earpiece doesn't work. I dunno about you guys, but I don't think the earpiece just "goes out".

Hard to say, the 2g's did have a problem with the headphone jack causing the earpiece not to work. It could just be a dirty headphone jack. Or it could be much worse, lol.

Yeah. I'm looking for a 2G. I was planning on getting the new iPhone that is coming out, but my mom won't go for a more expensive bill. I'm too cheap to pay my own.

If its still under the 1 year warranty and doesnt have any water damage....Apple would swap it out

The closest Apple store is four hours away. Actually, the two closest are four hours away. My bro is sending me his old 3G that was dropped in water. I might look around for a way to fix it, or sell for spare parts. Perfect screen and was kept in a case since it was bought.

is the plan gonna be more for the new phone?

**SharpieBandit** · 04-02-2009, 08:31 PM

It'll be more than my edge data plan. I'd have to upgrade mine to the 3G most likely.

Yeah, mine ended up having a dirty headphone jack when it did the same thing as that one, but I don't know how usual/likely that is.
