wow! sounds like a sweet deal to me! Oh, wait… Best Buy offers the same units with a 2 year contract on AT&T and a full one year warranty, and their full protection plan for accidental damage if you want it.

Well, I guess its as good as you van get in Canada. Hope they’re matching that offer in Future Shop!

I am Canadian and I WISH we had a Glenn Beck or Limbaugh up here. I’m so sick of the granola-crunching left hysterical morons destroying America and Canada alike.

And yes, I agree with most everyone here who says BGR should steer clear of political comments in postings.

Regards.

I don’t care if you’re making fun of Obama or Rush Limbaugh… there are too few places to go anymore to escape the political crap that divides our country. I want tech news when I come to BGR, not political jabs. If I’m asking too much, I can easily find another blog to read.

Seriously? Why are you all upset about one joke (not a commentary by any means)? Are you the same people who get all upset if someone says that WinMo sucks? Is your own personal self-worth so wrapped up in which crazy political commentator you choose to watch? I admit I watch Glenn Beck every now and then (hey, I need a good laugh now and then), but I also realize that he is a performer (check out his resume, he started as a radio DJ). I also don’t care if you call my phone (iPhone) a piece of crap, or my favorite political commentator a whack job (I don’t agree with everything Anderson Cooper says, sometimes I choose to use my own brain instead of what the head in the box tells me).

Seriously, lighten up… think for yourself, and go outside and get some fresh air

BGR, I thought it was funny and not even remotely offensive, but hey, I’m a well-adjusted 30 year old who doesn’t live in my parents’ basement, and am not afraid of sunlight, foreigners, people with different phones than myself, or people with different political views than myself. Guess I am in the minority!

Hey guys, great story and love the site. I know you guys are lighthearted at times, but can we please steer away from the political jabs? We’re all entitled to our opinions, but I really don’t find it appropriate for either the story or the site in general and it’s only going to serve to drive people away from your site in the long run (as demonstrated by at least one person’s posting already). Anyways, just my two cents, keep up the good work.

Small correction. Fido doesn’t NOT have a 30min talk time rule. 15days no matter how much talk time.

If the post made fun of Canada instead of Glen Beck I’m sure all the complainers here would love that, hypocrites.

It’s just a joke, get over it.

Okay, we either have a lot of mormons or mormon-apologetic republicans on this sight. I’m republican and I think Glenn Beck has a few screws loose. Yeah the hippie-crack right-bashing is getting a little old, but give credit where credit is due.

Anyone who wants more than 1 wife, is a nut or a masochist.

What’s with the Glenn Beck comment? What is it about liberals having to wear their politics on their sleeve? Stick to what you are good at and save the lib jabs for the BoyMoronReport.

50 bucks for 6 months less warranty, I am not sure if that’s a good idea.

iPhone battery charge is a concern toward the end of warranty period.

@bob…
right! wonder why thy don’t make obama jokes? they must think he’s the messiah if they think glenn beck is messed up in the head. or the poster isn’t intelligent enough to comprehend what glenn beck says. really. the constant bashing of beck and rush is getting old.

a glenn beck joke constitutes political rambling? if you’ve ever watched the colbert report you’ll now that glenn beck is touched in the head.

By: bob

bob — Wed, 08 Apr 2009 02:32:27 +0000

What a shame. I expect much more out of y’all than a glenn beck comment. Boo hiss.

Oh Apple and conspiring carriers, you’re so silly thinking your phone is still worth so much second hand.. Stop all this nonsense and come back to reality.

I dont think saying Glenn Beck is messed up in the head is a political statement, if youve ever watched his show you know he is messed up in the head, and not for his political views.

Stick to phones because you know very little about politics.
