i went to jacob for 3 different berries, 2 of those visits, there was tons of customers inside the store yet he manage to unlock mine in less than 5 mins

also awesome at applying screen protectors, always gets them a mint job

damn they were having their sale of iphone 3gs cases for $5 and had their iphone 4 for $10, i should have bought a secondary case for mine

I'm pretty sure the point of this thread is not to find alternatives, but to know what is going on with Jacob.

that being said I've been to him numerous times also and was planning on giving him a visit soon, so what's going on?

I just called. Someone picked up. I asked how much is it to get a phone unlocked, they mentioned the price. I guess they still open

Quoted for the truth.
There's some old timers like darthchill, kardboard myself that can vouch for jacob he's awesome. Super fast service and quality customer service.

Sometimes he might be few bucks more but at then end you wouldn't have to go back and get it redone.

Just FYI the quoted price is sometimes more expensive than the actual cost.

I remember going in thinking it was one thing but ended up to be another.

Might have helped that I was an RS member?

I live in Surrey and I go to Jacob only to get my stuff done. I just give him a call and drop off my stuff. Come back later or the next day and everything is done. I never have to go back for the same phone unless it's a new problem.

But I'm one of the oldschool phone guys so what do I know.
