I think God deserves the real credit. Mainly for helping him survive, but also helping keep the iPhone battery going. I don't think many cell phones would've stayed charged that long.

Most of the posts I've been reading people mentioned they didn't know how his phone still worked or stayed charged... did you all read the whole article? Whether you believe it or not, God got him through it, even if He was keeping his phone going. Proof stands right in front of people yet they can't see.

It's official. iphone is the must-have device in third world, poor countries to improve quality of life and help save you in the event of an inevitable national disaster. US$599? Wait a minute. NEVERMIND.

don't worry, all the corrupts down there will pocket all the US aid and will be able to afford it anyways!

Those comments are so retarted guys...the article is about having Tech stuff in a disaster situation...Doesn't even have anything to do with Haitians or third world countries.

No, the article is about having the wonderful and glorious iphone with its endless catalog of useful apps. My comment was a mere jab at how this wonderful technology carries a large premium over similar but affordable devices. Kinda a socio-economic discrimnator, but then again, isn't that what Apple has been about since it's inception?

Someone is a little jealous of a successful company.

yeah, Apple makes a wonderful device, its just a good thing he wasn't using it on AT&T's network when the earthquake happened. Gosh, he must have also had that phone hooked up to a diesel generator considering it went almost 4 days on the same battery charge while having the alarm go off every 20 minutes and downloading/using apps. Not to mention his leg and skull were broken but not the iphone screen. Man, that is one hell of a damn phone. Either that or its bullshit. My money is that it was bullshit.

I wonder how much Apple paid him to make up this little bed time story...

I think Steve Jobs caused the earthquake to get positive press for Apple leading up to the new iTablet. :P

good thing he wasn't in the U.S. or else he wouldn't have been able to establish a connection with ATT.

...and thus wouldn't have been hit with a massive earthquake to begin with...

yeah, that is unless he lived in the pacific cost, Hawaii, Alaska, mountain west, mid-atlantic, or the southern part of the U.S.-all of which have fault lines and all of which experience earthquakes. Maybe he lived in Rhode Island...I doubt they have earthquakes there.

I think what he meant is.. that the earthquake in HAITI..... wouldn't have actually had any sort of effect on him. Seeing as how he would have been on the mainland US. Not, sugguesting that earthquakes never happen in the US ..cause thats silly.
