O2 or CPW?

[Craig321]

Just wondering who's best to buy the iPhone from - returns is my main issue as I'll be jailbreaking and unlocking the phone.

Anyone had any experience returning one to either shop older than 14 days that's been unlocked/jailbroken?

I doubt you can return to either as if it does break, and you take it back, all they have to do is check if you have an O2 contract, if you don't then they'll know you have jailbreak it.

Why are you worrying anyway? Do you plan to break it in 14 days?

Nah, not planning to break the thing at all, but as you know hardware can go wrong

I've returned 4+ iPhones at 02 because I scratched them and wanted a refund (I told them it was an unwanted gift )

Basically, they take the box, check the IMEI number matches and give you a refund.

Carphone Warehouse do NOT accept returns on iPhones unless you've failed the iTunes tariff credit-check.. and they'll pass you on to Apple if it's faulty, they're a joke.

All 4 phones were fully unlocked when I returned them, I'd just done a restore first.

Sounds like I'll go for one from O2 then, if I can find it in town

Do they put any horrible branding on it?

You guys using iLiberty or ZiPhone?

 

[Craig321]

I was planning the same, but heard good and bad things about both ZiPhone and iLiberty.

iLiberty is apparently quite buggy under Windows still and some people have reported problems with ZiPhone.

Meh, I'll just go with ZiPhone and Bootneuter
