Is it reasonable to own both an iPad 2 and iPhone 4?

Q. I already have the iPad, but I feel guilty for wanting to get an iPhone 4 because I found some really good deals for it on craigslist.. Is it worth it to possess both?

A. The iPad 2 is a tablet and the iPhone 4 is a phone. I know a lot of people who own both, including me. And if you're buying the iPhone because of its smaller screen, you can get an iPod Touch, but I recommend iPhone, it's worth it.

what's the difference between the iphone 4 and the iphone 5 for verizon?
Q. i could use my upgrade now and get the iphone 4 for verizon that i know is a good phone (my mom and many friends have it and love it) or i could wait like 2 weeks for the iphone 5. someone also told me about a deal that verizon does where you can get the iphone 4 now and if you want the iphone 5 when it comes out, then they will buy the iphone 4 back from you. is that true?

thanks.

A. Since iPhone 5 ain't out yet, who knows?

And you need to watch out about the return period. In most states, it's only 14 days (I think it's 30 days in California, but check to be sure).

What should I know before buying a second hand iphone 4?
Q. So I've found a good deal for an iphone 4 but the thing I'm worried about obviously is getting scammed. I'm pretty sure it's not a China product but what I'm worried is things like if the iphone 4 is unlockable or not, the IMEI is blacklisted(do i have to worry about this too?)..What other factors should I include when buying this?

A. If the IMEI is blacklisted, it means that the phone is most likely stolen. (The only other possibility is that the phone belongs to an account that is delinquent) If you buy the phone and it is stolen, then you are in receipt of stolen property, which is a crime in itself.

A blacklisted phone will not work as a phone, and quite possibly will not work. At best you will have an overpriced iPod, at worst, you will have an overpriced paperweight.

Since the phone is blacklisted, I would back away from the sale, as it is an obvious scam.
