    Howdy folks.

    Friends is looking at picking up an iPhone and seen their site. It seems to look legit and it is a .ie (which is usually somewhat reassuring in itself) but I've never heard of them and a google didn't bring up much. Was wondering if anyone here had any dealings with them at all?


    Cheers :)


    (apologies if in wrong forum)

    EDIT: Woops, thought i was posting in the 'requests' section :o

    You're after the apple forum.

    But while you're hear I've never heard of them, an .ie domain means nothing nowadays, anyone can have one.

    Never heard of it, but sometimes it's useful to do a whois lookup... got the following.

    So, whoever Keith O'Dowd is.. I'm guessing that's the owner.

    Googled his name plus the name of the site and got a few sites that have similar names, as well as this:

    Site looks fine. Whether I'd trust a business running out of enniscrone is another thing. Can't be a hotspot of Irish mobile industry surely.

    Not sure if that's a genuine comment or a sarcastic remark, to be honest :P

    It's a genuine site and genuine guy. I've recommended him to a few people for iPod screen replacements etc and they have been happy with the service.
