Si, se leggi bene la mail con le prepagate usi la tua vecchia sim. Quindi, se non ho capito male, la conseguenza è che lo compri sim-unlock
bah , se è così non penso di comprarlo, purtroppo.
anzi farò pure peggio, ho abobnamento vodafone dal 98, lo rescinderò per rappresaglia, la presa per i fondelli è troppo spudorata
Beh forse ti stai sbagliando…
sim-lock in italiano vuol dire che ha la sim bloccata.
Sim-Unlock significa con sim libera.
Scusa se ho usato termini che non conosci.
(marooo… forse sarebbe utile che molti vadano a fare qualche corso d’inglese)
allora sappiamo che non è sim lock, ma per l’op-lock qualcuno sa qualcosa?
tutti i siti che lo vendono dal lancio descrivendolo come “sbloccato” dove se lo sono procurato, visto che danno anche 2 anni di garanzia
Ieri ho letto il manuale in inglese per il 3G e la garanzia è limitata ad un anno. L’assistenza tecnica ha durata biennale ed è fatta dal gestore telefonico (Contradditemi se sto dicendo una friggnaccia) e poi in Italia tutte le garanzie sono di 1 anno: solo in alcuni casi si allungano a 2, vero?
No scusami tu Nik, ti ho letto troppo velocemente e ho letto male 
la garanzia minima in italia, per i privati, è 2 anni per legge, e deve essere garantita dal rivenditore. (vodafone, tim, o il negoziante che ti vende l’apparecchio). Su questa cosa non esistono scappatoie, per fortuna 
(per chi invece lo compra con la fattura, per poterlo scaricare, la garanzia è 1 anno, se non erro)
hehehehehe
Io chiedo sempre fattura… sono un libero professionista: magari per questo io mi fermo sempre all’anno per le garanzie. Ok ne ho sparata un’altra!
Per la cronaca:

quella mi sa che è la garanzia commerciale ed è il produttore a decidere di quanto tempo può essere.
Ma in italia c’è la garanzia legale, per due anni (per i privati) è responsabile del funzionamento protratto nel tempo del bene il venditore, non c’entra la apple 
Tu, che sei libero professionista, temo che potrai avvalerti solamente della garanzia commerciale.
Ad ogni modo, tornando on topic, avete letto questa news?
Nuovi dettagli sull’offerta Vodafone per iPhone 3G
mi è tornato il sorriso.
In pratica se si stipula quell’abbonamento è possibile usufruire dell’iphone (+ opzionalmente del pack dati) per 9 euro al mese, per 24 mesi. In pratica così l’iphone costerà 200 + 216(in 24 mesi), diciamo che di fatto è una specie di finanziamento… che ve ne pare?
edit: ecco la pagina aggiornata sul sito vodafone

nik, quando io faccio acquisti prendo tutto senza fattura per via della garanzia, intesto tutto a me
m’è già bastato dover buttare via un asus g1s dopo 13 mesi…poi le garanzie “estendibili” noi non potremmo nemmeno usarle…
c’è altro su cui puoi recuperare, almeno nel mio settore non spendo cifre impensabili in elettronica
Si! le tariffe sono alte! Ma dipende dall’uso che uno fa del telefono, io ho fatture di 80/100€ bimestre (contratto), senza internet, diciamo che a me conviene 59€ al mese per un iphone a 269€ più 600MB al mese ci dovrei rientrare…
Io l’ho prenotato poi vediamo, magari lo prendo dopo il 20 ma devo comunque fare una tariffa vodafone facile per poi pagarlo 9€ al mese più il contratto…
