    Some of us Dominicans can really be ignorant. You bawling no money yet still you will buy some new expensive phone and you cannot eat a proper meal. Talk about priorities screwed up boy. DOMINICANS. That is why I don’t feel sorry for allu that living in Da. You all have life too sweet.,

    thing is, apple has the best after sales service. but! dominica does not have an aoople store. that is the problem. apple have a policy that if you phone is under warranty (and you can extend the warranty for a small sum), if anything happen to your phone and they cannot fix it in shop within ten minutes, you get a brand new phone. how do i know? i did just that three days ago. the iphone4 is amazing, works well, battery is good, apps are amazing, literally everything. problem is that unless it is under contract it is very expensive.

    but what i do know for these companies is this! the phones that are returned or bought back off customers in the first world is reconditioned, packaged as new ans sold to the third world. this is why companies in the third world can even manage to introduce these phones. if they were literally new then there is no way many people could afford it.

    how do i know this? i was told by directors of phone companies.

    The Iphone 4 is nice, but there are equally or better phones out right now. The Evo, the mytouch 4g, the droid x, the Atrix are all good phones. To do video calls you need wifi speeds, which most of these phones can do. They all switch between 2g, 3g and 4g networks
    I personally have a 4g mytouch. Yes, it doesn’t have the HDMI out like the EVO, but its just as good or better in some cases. The problem I’ve seen with apple phones are poor signal strength. Apple also has had issues with its video players, because they do not run adobe flash and are not upgradeable.

    It’s just a cell phone people…it’s not food. You don’t HAVE to get it.

    Who can afford it will buy it. Who can’t but want to over extend themselves and even do “certain things” for it, that’s their own personal moral choices.

    And to that moron “a voice from the wilderness”. When you make dumb azz comments like that, what kind of picture are you painting of our Dominican society to the outside world. You’re just one of the pitiful Dominicans walking around with a “chip on your shoulder.” You so insecure of who you are the only way you feel better is by disparaging your own people and country. Dumb azz!!

    as for me i love talking on the phone, i guess more phone time with me and your huband/boyfreinds
    …………he will keeep chasing after me telling me where he want to put his mouth……………i will never never never ………………just laugh about it wit my girlfreind after

    I’ll stick to my blackberry…how many people will have iphone for me to chat with? even if i could afford it i wouldn’t buy it because I can use my money in a better way or just save it…we have to learn to resist things that will put us in debt or cause us to do unthinkable things in order to obtain them. Remember the previous article featured on DNO about some of the wealthiest people in the world being the most ‘frugal’…ie not wasting the money they work hard for on things that will enrich other people? We need to value our money better and plan for the future instead of being obsessed with things like these smart phones that will be out of style in 6mths – 2 yrs because a ‘better’ one has been developed…and then we are still feeling the pinch after they’ve outlived their thrill because we r in debt for wanting to be ‘in style’. Be smart. We must plan our future and not get caught up in the hype of ‘now’.

    May 27, 2011

    trust me people best you buy a good htc with a android OS , lime is killing us with there prices for there old phone, much less Iphone4 and if you don’t know most of the application for the Iphones most be bought , and they talking about video call , not on that GPRS na , it talking two days to watch a video on youtube, video call HA!! . let me tell u when it come out look at the price (and we all know it two high ,) then compare vs buying one on line and you will buy online . unless u compare the Iphone4 with a htc in it price range running android then you will buy that. (HTC)

  18. Yeah Right
    May 27, 2011

    lime coming out with 4G. Big deal.
    IPhone 4? lets see.

    1. The people the cant afford it are going to buy it just to say they have one, even if their rent eh paid for and their lights might get cut.I can guarantee you that most of the people you going to see with this is school girl that don’t work a day in their life. i mean with all the smart phones in Dominica and they people you seeing with them. lets just be real they sure as hell eh work for it.

    2. Those people that want to show off are going to take the last little change they have in their saving to go out and my a materiel thing that next year will be old fashion.

    So no thanks. I will settle for a phone that can just simple make and receive my calls and a little text now and then. other then that all the so call over feature are really not needed.

    as this new phone feature comes into effect aids will be more rampant too cause alot who dont have it will try to get them.

      ha ha ha ha I agree with you!! All those young people will do what ever it takes to get this phone as usual. So it will no longer be the BB. Parents hide your purses some kids will start volehing all now to buy that phone when it goes on the market. I really wonder how much lime is going to sell that one $3500?

      Here is you answer I purchase my Iphone 4 dead off from apple in Canada and that was a whopping 900 Canadian for a 16G now it goes for 649.00 with no contract if you want I mobile which allows you track your phone if lost or stolen then that’s another 100$ . I Don’t think this should be brought to Dominica since these phones are used for business purpose predominantly….. This is only allow people who cannot afford it to sell there souls… Now here is 2,068 EC roughly…

    May 27, 2011

    The worshippers of materialism are waiting for their god to come to Dominica. Materialists have many gods and the Iphone is one of them. The features of this Iphone will be their benefits and their constant love, adoration, security, boasting and constantly playing with that Iphone will be their rituals.

    The situation is so sad and pathetic that our young school girls will sell their private parts to satisfy that god which was carved either in Japan, China or the US. The same thing people do with wooden, metal or stone idols which were carved, it’s the modern day carved idols these people worship.

    We will see many women selling their bodies to get one. We will see many men “tumble” to get one. What a sick and morally depraved society we live in.

      THIS IS THE ONLY TIME THAT I WILL AGREE WITH YOU, WELL SAID.WE ARE ALREADY SEEING THIS JUST FOR A TOP-UP WHAT A WOMAN WITH OUT MONEY WILL DO, YOUNG GIRLS DOING THE UNTHINKABLE FOR A PHONE N TOP-UP. IT WAS SO SHOCKING TO HEAR WHAT A PROMINENT SO CALLED man OF HIGH REPUTE SAID ABOUT A WOMAN WHO WANTED A BB FROM HIM.

        May 27, 2011

        I agree with Muslim always 1000%!! yes the phone got its benefits but the things pple are doing, things to degrade themselves, for what?? A bb and any other gadget…… Working men and women do not even have bb’s and Iphones (pple who can reallyyyyyyyyyyyyy afford) and struggling pple want to indulge in nasty and obnoxious activities to get those stuff.. Those things a lil idols as he said and we do not realize but we are worshipers of them….

      true words

    • Hypocrisy?
      May 27, 2011

      You speak of materialist and materialism yet some of the biggest sellers of electronics in our country are muslims. I chose to address this specifically cause your title is “muslim_always” as if muslims don’t buy gadgets of any kind.

      How did you access this website anyways? Did you access it from a laptop or a desktop “which was carved either in Japan, China or the US” or may i presume a smartphone?

      Innovation has proven to be one of the single greatest determinants in lifting people out of poverty. In our country we must be prepared to use, adopt, and manipulate the technology to assist in our own creative processes for our own betterment.

      Think before you speak Muslim_Always and if you don’t want to be a hypocrite throw your Allah given computer.

      • Muslim_always
        May 27, 2011
