Hey there Fi! It doesn't take 3 days; it can actually be completed in less than 20 min. The Apple stores (at least the ones I go to) are usually so busy that they'd rather you just leave your Mac. I dropped mine off and rec'd a call the next morning at 9 a.m.
I was surprised since they don't open that early on Sundays but they told me they call early just to give you time to get ready to come pick it up. I thought that was pretty cool.
I'm showing you a few pictures so you'll see what to expect. I still have the plastic on mine- makes a great protector. One of the things you'll definitely have to check (BEFORE LEAVING THE STORE) is your keyboard. The part that's cracking isnt just replaced. It's an all-in-one unit so when they replace it, they also be replacing your keyboard.
I had to take mine back because I didn't notice until sometime that night that my z x c v b keys were so raised; I could see underneath them. You'll see from the pics that my up arrow is a bit screwed; but it's not so bad I cant live with it.

I bought a Curve 8320 last week/T-mobile (Sunset is so nice looking) and I am equally as into it as I am my Mac. It's my first smartphone so I have been on this site learning all I can. Wow, these phones do a whole lot. But I was worried about my Mac and how BB would work with it.
It took me a while to figure out the best thing to do about syncing iCal (and I am no techie- at all) but I just synced with google calendar using calaboration, downloaded the google calendar syncing thing on my BB and now I can add an event to any of the three and they will talk to each other. I didn't even have to connect my phone to the Mac- yay! Sad to lose the multi-color calendars on iCal but oh well.
2 new addictions in 2 months--- good thing they don't show up on any tests for work

It's my understanding that it pays for itself in no time and cheaper than what you'll pay in the long run using Verizons access manager.Proud Mac man!! Currently running OSX Leopard on my Macbook pro, As far as syncing goes using Pocketmac, for tethering using VZ Access Manager! Little quirks but all in good fun
03-16-09 04:19 PM - Hello my name is Manny and i'm a Mac User. MBP 15" and now my third BB - Storm. I run Parallels. Is that the best way to sync with a BB on a PC?
Is anyone able to sync your media (music) through itunes with Media Sync and sync your data (contacts, calendar) through Pocket Mac or Missing Sync? i understand you can't have one with the other.
I have an iTouch and love it. Im thinking the storm will replace it for watching movies on the subway on the way to work. But all this manual transfering is crap!
Anyone got the magic touch?

My pictures load perfectly through MissingSync so far. If there are any I want from my computer, I drag and drop. Just remember to disconnect the phone from the computer or you might have a heart attack thinking everything has been wiped out. I'm sure no one else is dumb enough to be fooled that way....Hello my name is Manny and i'm a Mac User. MBP 15" and now my third BB - Storm. I run Parallels.

I created a "Blackberry" playlist in iTunes, so I just drag everything form there over to the Music folder on my BB SD Card.03-18-09 10:33 AM
