long story short...

Vietnam's streets are completely packed with motorbikes.. like crazy, To cross the street, youre better off closing your eyes and just walking slowly because they dont stop for you, they only go around you....

anyway, i'm standing on the interior of a big sidewalk in Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), probably about 20 feet wide, texting my mother (of all people!).

some guy on a motorbike drives ONTO the sidewalk, swipes it out of my hand and drives away. After i chase him for about 10 seconds i think to myself "well i probably wont catch up to him, and if i do, what am i gonna do to him?" So i stop, scream FUCK, and move on to being pissed for the next 50 days that i had left of my trip...

Yup, sucks..

I think if i call AT&T and tell them this story, they may just help me out. or i could always use the "i'm switching to verizon" method..

That's suck. Did you have it unlock while using it overthere? Wish I can spend that much time there. My longest trip was 4 weeks.

Actually no, it wasnt unlocked. I had it through AT&T and didnt really use much of the phone part, everytime i found wifi, i would imessage my friends..

I was actually on a semester at sea, so vietnam was just a port of call for 6 days..

Phu Quoc was truly the highlight of Vietnam

Crazy story, Naz, but as LeMans mentioned, that happens here too - even straight up street robberies at knife/gunpoint.

It would have been slightly funny if you were using a Verizon or Sprint CDMA iPhone (on WiFi to iMessage since CDMA is no good in Europe or Asia). Thief would've had a nice paperweight to sell.

Glad you survived though. The phone can easily be replaced but you could've gotten shanked.
