I lost my iPhone: Can you help?

September 30th, 2009 · 7 Comments

I lost my iPhone and I’m pretty sure it’s not going to come back. The picture below is not a picture of my phone, nor is it a picture of my hand. If you see that hand, or that iPhone – no need to ask if it’s mine, because it’s not. Mine had more icons on the home screen.

The reason I am writing to you today is in hopes that I can find an iPhone 3G to purchase from you, your friend, or your mom (moms usually have extra iPhones – I asked my mom, but she had already given it to my sister, so will you please ask your mom for me? Thank you.), or your neighbor. It seems to me with the iPhone 3GS available now there must be drawers full iPhone 3G’s out there. We both know that they are just declining in value, and you’re just waiting for the next iPhone to come out.

The truth is I’d rather give you, your friend, or your mom money than Apple and AT&T. I went through the rebate brewhaha at Apple yesterday and laughed my way straight out of the store.

I don’t want to pay $299 for the 3G and have to sign another two year contract, when in six months I could get the 3GS upgrade for like $199. If that didn’t make sense to you, don’t worry, all that needs to make sense is that I would like to buy your phone from you.

Thank you in advance, please send this post to your friends (ReTweet). They may have friends that have an iPhone that they have been trying to sell for the last four months.

    As a Blackberry user I can’t help but smuggly ask….isn’t there an app for this?

    Best of luck! I hope you find one.

    If you don’t mind a cracked screen, you can have my 3G. Apple said they’d replace the screen for $199 or something like that. But it’s usable as is.

    Poor guy… Can’t help you, I have just one iPhone 3GS and we’re too much bonded with it to give it away…

    I just sold mine to a coworker a few months ago! You should look for refurbished iPhone’s at the Apple Store. They’re going for $99.
