It's only one phone per model that needs to be "unsealed". And if they don't try to jerk me off and are honest right up front that the phone is a demo model, the last one in stock and carries a 10% discount, I'd be more than happy to buy it (after thoroughly checking it out of course).
Ever heard of isopropyl alcohol? Will clean away any nasties left by mr public.

I noticed in CPW they sometimes have demo models hanging around the sales assistants necks though it seems rare. I dont see why they cant spare each model in stores range to have a demos like O2 do in some stores now. I know how i would feel if i had a none pristine phone used by someone. It happened to me when i bought a phone from CPW once. The box seemed fine but when i got it home there were finger prints all over it and it had photos on it taken in store. Very annoying i took it back and got a NEW one. But store brochures like Orange for instance say COME IN STORE AND ASK A PHONE TRAINER FOR A DEMO. I still think customers should be able to try things out. You would not walk into Currys and not be able to listen to a stereo you wish to purchase or digital cameras behind the counter you can play with them.

yep, the key point is if they are selling you a demo'd phone that they are up front about it. Then you have an opportunity to negotiate a better price. So what the store loses $20 on one phone from each model they sell? The margins aren't that low. Besides if they actually cleaned the phone and deleted the images etc they could actually sell it as new and no one would know (not that I'm justifying that, but what you don't know doesn't hurt you - provided it works properly). Just seems lazy to me.
I'm in business and I give people discounts for all sorts of things. It's called encouraging return custom.

Customers prefer to try before they buy it's a fact,
I know here in Brum theres litrally that many phoneshops crawling at your feet ( I don't know how they survive tbh )
but to gain a sale it's often wise to show a demo to customer,
cos some phones aren't availbale or have been taken away,
it's prob quite harder for sales rep within phoneshops,
that why there trained on products to help customers,
although customers quite often research phones functions so just leaves the contracts to sort out at the end of of it
if I ever get a job in a phoneshop I think it's gunnabe some hella experience (Jewellery is such a easy thing to sell) phones god help me

I've worked as a computer tech, in retail, phone support, repairs and now for myself as a repairer/installer. I reckon a phone shop would be a breeze compared to some of the odd things people ask me to do for them.

Actually i find still i generally know more than the shop staff they seem to be poorly trained in many shops. So many times i go into a shop and ask for something get a blank look and they walk off
. Though today i had another play with an iphone in O2 store just for the hell of it. I was connecting it to You Tube. Worked very well even though the coverage said Edge. But god the camera does wobble and is so poor.

Well i hate contracts. Never again. Im happy enough with O2 pay and go. I was thinking of buying the iphone on pay and go when its out but not sure anymore. Im either going for the N82 or C902 on O2. As for Orange if they have Phone Trainers they should be good at training you. Good luck. The Futures Bright The Futures Miss UK.

Ive got a interview with 02 this afternoon,
I don't know about this one tbh cos they want me to travel to Bury for training, and work sundays
0range are more up my street but still lets see what happens,
thinking of questions to ask 02 is hard I have'nt really much to ask them as there description says it all however im gunna play dumb and ask about demo phones instore in stuff as I think having these is a good selling point
ive got about 8 to ask anyway,
with 0range I asked about 5 and next thing I knew im invited to a assement on the 23rd at a hotel in brum !
if im sucessful in either of these jobs it's gonnabe hard to not look at phones
