About LinkBacksWhile browsing through our recent posts, the combination of the words "stolen" and "iPhone" came to mind. So now, I wonder if there are any incidents, locally and elsewhere, of stolen iPhones.
If there are none, or the reports of such are minimal, does it mean to say that iPhione users are extra careful in safeguarding their precious units?
hmm...

Re: stolen iPhones? Well i believe that incidents of stolen iphones are fairly minimal because only a few people in the philippines have the iphone. So, the chances of them getting stolen is quite slim.

Re: stolen iPhones? right now i think there's a bigger chance of dropping these things than getting them stolen. unless it's a fellow mugger (perish the thought), even our tech-savvy thieves may not even know yet what to look for--unless we go out screaming "i have an iphone, i have an iphone!"

Re: stolen iPhones? Well, me, just to be safe, I tend to not display my iPhone prominently. :-)
Sure I'll show my friends though, outside of that, it's almost always hidden.

Re: stolen iPhones? I don't think thieves would be going through too much trouble to steal the iPhone yet. Mainly because it's not as easily resold as a Nokia. But thieves are opportunists and if they find themselves in a situation where can just take it out of your pocket/bag/car without getting caught, then they probably will.
They can always just use it themselves if they can't sell it.Carlos L E G A R D A
