Apparently sold a used iPhone... not NEW
By Windsurfer on October 29, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase
Problem:
This phone was sold as NEW and unlocked and we received it promptly after the Sept. 13th order fulfillment.
On Oct 24th, the Phone failed completely. It would not re-start with soft and hard reset. It continued to be locked up completely with unresponsive touch on a fully energized main screen (the first "unlock" display present and waiting). The unit was taken to a local Apple Store (while we were traveling, Tampa Florida) and the Apple service agent checked the Apple database to discover that the unit was out of their one year warranty period by about 2 months.

This phone also exhibited minor problems in use: Screen colors were tinted slightly orange; Apple locator on Google Maps had trouble locating the unit. We were willing to "pass" on these performance issues, but not now with a "dead" locked phone. When we took this phone to the Apple store, the technician also noted that the red water damage indicator had gone off. In the 6 weeks we had the phone, it was never in more water than the ambient humidity which further suggests to us that the "new" phone we purchased was indeed a used unit. The Apple Technicians will not go any further with service at this time. We have a dead unit.

Request:
A request for a refund in full has been made, via Amazon communications to the company (The OEM Planet) or possibly a replacement unit. Our problem is that they have simply sent a "boiler plate" return form, but the form clearly states a 30 day return policy.... there is no mention of what they will actually honor beyond the 30 day period (our case), and so we are presently stuck. We don't seem to have a true email address by which to continue a dialog with this company.Read more ›

not the best
By T. Hartmannsson on March 25, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase
I had two issues after receiving the iphone, one the center or home button was hard to push, after only one day of use - the screen displayed the itunes logo and a usb cable, i tried turning on/off several times and tried reloading thru itunes-failed due to iphone being unlock, this according to vendor i purchased the phone from. The vendor seemd kind and concerned about addressing my two issues, so I sent back the iphone for him to fix at my own expense, he reloaded software and stated in a letter I got with the repaired phone to NEVER update your iphone on itunes, and as far as the center button or home key, the vendor stated it seems to be ok, thus, no it was not fixed, so after spending several hundred dollars for this used iphone that was advertised as in great shape,was in my opinion not, buyer beware- software is one big issue with unlocked phones and performance or buttons are another, I used the iphone for another week and got a pineapple on the screen, so long story short, I ended up just buying buying a iphone thru Apple store.

iPhone 3G
By Rev.CLC on June 21, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase
After the phone arrived, I notice immediately that it was missing the SIM card holder, so all I actully had was a very expensive iPod. I have since aquired a SIM Card holder, just to find out the the unlocked phone I purchased was locked. Because I know a little something about this phone, it is working find now. I am truly disappointed in you amazon, because I know you are better then this. I hope and pray this was just an oversight, as a number of my friends are looking to purchase from you as well.
By the way, can I still get the SIM Card Holder that should have been in my iPhone from the start?

Just didn't work
By Joshua Garcia on February 21, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase
When I originally purchased for the phone, I opted for expedited shipping. Well that didn't happen because it took almost two weeks to get here instead of the 3-5 days that was promised with expedited shipping. After I had finally gotten the phone I connected it to my PC. It did a search and needed to be updated to the latest version, which had been accessible for quite a while. While I was running the update, the phone froze and was not doing anything. I took it to the nearest apple store for them to tell me that the software was screwed up on the phone and that the battery doesn't hold a charge at all. I had the phone to charge for more than five hours, and it was getting ready to die after only two. I then had to purchase a new phone with the store instead. Poor poor purchase.

Buy new but seems refurbished
By Pablo on November 20, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase
I bought a new iphone from the seller and after 3 days of receiving the phone, some buttons stopped working. Due to I live in other country, I took the phone for repair here, and was informed that the phone was not new. I had to pay USD 90 extra dollars to repair the phone.
