Hope that recommendation helps...cause I know he is gonna buy another iPhone...once you go iPhone you can't go back from what I hear from the people I know who have them as well!
yes, I will relay all that to him, thanks a bunch Iceman!!! appreciate it.....and I know he will want another one, he's looking around for one but they are still ranging 400+ bucks for the iPhone 3G 16g's..........OMG!
