i am planning to get an iPhone 4 from 1 of my friends staying abroad. It's used for 1 year.. and is very well maintained as per my wt my friend told me. Now, i am confused because I have plans to buy Nokia Lumia 620 (Win 8) phone. I discussed with some of my friends over the issues that I might face during my usage of iPhone in India, as follows. So, friends, I need your sincere advice over here, for i would be thankful to you all
1. It will Not have the warranty. Some 1 suggested me to go for insurance (for which I will need the bill)....Some 1 told that, by hook and crook, we can get the warranty here in India as well........ So, wts the real picture ???
2. 1 friend told me that we can Not open the iPhone for battery replacement / to fix any issues, in case if battery life declines. If it happens, then we have to get the fixing done from Apple only, which eh told is a big hassle in India....... So, wts the real picture ???
3. Can we attach word documents, ppt, excel sheet onto emails through internet browser ??? because as far as i know, we can Not attach any of these thru the apps... So, again wts the real picture...
4. How much does jailbreaking cost ???
1) Unless he has Apple care, the warranty is over anyway.
2) If you live anywhere close to Mumbai, there are a HUGE numbers of outlets that service an "Out of Warranty" iPhone. Got a home button replaced on my iPhone 4 for Rs500 (US$8) and it's been working fine for the last 8 months. I am sure most large cities have the same provisions.
3) Plenty of apps in the app store for reading Office docs.
4) Spend 1 day reading this forum and "Jailbreaking" is FREE
Hope this helps
