Well, that is good they have that - where you get a new phone - in new zealand, you have to pay for it - and everything is 2x the cost of what it is in the states. But its blackmail they are doing - about charging ports, they often go first - I think they do it on purpose, because they could make ports that don't fall apart like they do on all phones - but if they did, you probably would still have that phone.
Thanks!
