I love my iPhone, and when it started randomly re-booting I was really bummed. Not being a ATT customer means there is no warranty, so I started my online search for iPhone Repairs.…. After a few minutes I came across ipodjuice.com I gave them a call and talked to one of their technicians about my problem, he knew instantly what I was talking about.
The whole process was a breeze. You order your evaluation and return shipping, print the reciept, box it and drop it in the mail. I used USPS Priority going there and FedEX 2 day shipping on the way back. I shot them an email letting them know it was on its way (on Friday) and recieved an email on Monday they they recieved it and it was in their work queue. Tuesday they had my estimate, Wedensday it was on its way back and Friday it was back in my hot-little-hands. Awesome service, reasonably priced and totally painless.
If you have an iPod that is losing it battery life, or has bad pixels they also sell do-it-yourself replacment kits. I will be using them again soon to replace my screen on my iPod video.
This is service like it’s supposed to be, 10 out of 10 – 5 Stars – 2 thumbs up!

Ok, so I have used VOIP phone service for about 3 years or so ….. 1st with SunRocket (now defunct), and also with Packet 8. All in all I have been completely satisfied with VIOP and really dont notice much difference from using my cell…. Well a few weeks ago I was working late at night and saw an infomercial for “The Magic Jack”. It sounded great, all the normal features (call waiting, voicemail, unlimited local & long distance) and was only $39.95 for the USB Dongle including the 1st year of service. subsequent years are $19.95. Also it has a 30 day trial – how can you lose? I ordered it and about a week later it showed up in my mail box. 
Installation and set-up was a breeze. It took no less that 10 minutes, including downloading the update for Windows Vista. I tested it on my laptop with it connected to the Internet directly with the router, and via wireless connection, and it performed well. Here is my list of Pro’s and Con’s.
PRO’s
It’s inexpensive $19.95 a year
You can use either a regular phone OR your headset & mic
Feature rich: unlimited local & long distance, voice mail, call waiting, 911 service
Portable, doesn’t need to be externally powered or plugged into the router
Cons:
Not a lot of area code/prefix choices
Number porting not supported (yet)
It also has an Outlook plugin, but I have not got it to work with my latest-greatest version of outlook. All-in-all I think this is worth looking at.
