Default Wanted to look at an iphone
Happened to be Radio Shack the other day and saw they had a large display of phones and, being in the market for a new phone, wanted to look at iphones. They didn't have any on diplay, so I asked them if they had them. Yes I was told, but we don't display them because we don't want them handled. They say nobody lets you have them to look at. If you want to look at them, you have to buy one!!! Anybody ever hear of that? I really wanted to look one over, but I guess I'll have to ask somebody that owns one if I can have a look at it!

Apple store or any phone store I've been to has them.
Radio Shack isn't what they used to be.

That's what I mean, he tried to tell me none of the stores would let you look them over before buying one. WTF, are they made of gold or something?

Some Chevy dealers say that about Corvettes.

Radio Shack? He's there to sell batteries and speaker wire.

Go to an AT&T, Sprint, Verizon or Apple store. they have models you can touch, feel and even use.

I bet Sprint would fall all over themselves to show you one. If you sign up with one, they have classes for them. I personally like sprint.

Did you ask to see one or to touch one? Maybe you just didn't ask the right question.

Sprint has unlimited data, the other carriers don't. Since Sprint does not offer 4G in Cow Hampshire, getting an Android phone would be pointless.

Even tho' I detest Best Buy, if you find a deal online, such as at WalMart ($188) you can print the page and Best Buy will match it. I think they let you fondle their phones as much as you like.

I prefer my Motorola Axtrix or the Razr over the iPhone, tho'.

I asked to have one in my hand and look it over, see how the screens worked and such. He offered to show me the box it was in and that was it. I wasn't in Radio Shack to look at phones, just happened to spot them there and decided to look at some. When he told me none of the other places that carried them wouldn't let me look them over either I was like I will be going to other places to really look at phones soon. Just have to decide on a carrier now.
