  1. My youngest turns 7 on Christmas and she is getting the 4G one. The 32G. I think she only needs 8G, but I don't think I'm going to win that battle with the gift giver. She loves my Ipod and Iphone. The idea is for her to be able to use facetime with her grandparents and text her family whenever she has wi fi access (mostly at home). The camera is pretty good too, same as my iphone 4G, I think. She likes music and can watch movies and play games on it.
  2. I have had T-Mobile for 5+ years. We never had any problems. We recently purchased a G1 phone(touch screen, unlimited internet ect.) The screen shattered within 2 months of the purchase. T-Mobile's customer service was completely unwilling to help us get a new phone, excpet to charge us full price. All in all T-Mobiles prices are great, and coverage is good where we live, but if you ever have a problem, the customer service is a force to be reckoned with. We are cancelling our service and not looking back.

    I also have TMobile. The KEY to getting what you want from them when you brake ur phone & its ur fault is to ask for the cancellation department. Do not go through customer service, neither they or their supervisors will give you what you want. The cancellation department will pretty much do whatever you want. I love them! My daughter was jump roping on the last day of 7th grade in shorts with small pockets. Her phone bounced out of her pocket and she jumped on it LOL. It couldn't be much more her fault if she tried! Cancellation department sold me a new phone at the upgrade price. She had just gotten a new phone 6 months earlier, so she wasn't eligible for the upgrade but they did it anyway....we extended her contract 2yrs (she was only 6 months in on the other one & we saved $120). Around the same time my son's side kick's screen cracked all by itself (i dont believe that, but it wasn't worth the argument) same deal, new phone at the qualified upgrade price & he was only 6 months into his contract. GL

  3. That is frusterating! My 5 YO asks that everything come on the "white truck"(Fed Ex) vs. the "brown truck" (UPS). Why? Because last Christmas several packages that were shipped UPS were not delivered until after Christmas due to the snow we had (Fairview, Oregon). While everything that was shipped Fed Ex was delivered in the snow, on time. We had garbage service, mail service & Fed Ex........yet no UPS.

     

    So, you never know what you're gonna get in terms of service. Good luck, and I hope everyone gets all their stuff on time this year :)

  5. **I just walked away from 3 Smores too!! :tongue1: They did have a big sign in front of it saying 50% and the red stickers all said 99.xx (or something similar) but that whole store was 75% off so I doubt these were only 50%. I would have found out and got one for sure if I had a bigger car.. I don't think I would have been as strong as you!! But my hubby is the one who drives SUV so I decided to walk away..

    BTW my motivation was Live Elmo who's been sitting in the corner since Christmas. The only person who plays with it is me :). (At least I got it for $27.xx)

    I don't have a large car & it fit fine (Smores). I drive a Honda Fit.

  6. Has anyone read the reviews for the Fisher Price Dvd player? The reviews on Fisher Price's website aren't very good. I'm still going back and forth on whether or not to try to get one. I wish the battery had more than a 2 hour life.

     

    Has anyone here owned one?

    I had not read those reviews:) I may end up returning the one I got (50%) & just giving my 5 YO my PSP. They're surprisingly durable.
