Is this a good thing to ask for for Christmas?

I never really get things that I like for Christmas. Usually I get something I asked for and a lot of clothes which are out of style (my mom isn't exactly the best with fashion, but I love her anyways).So this year I want to go to the mall with my friend(s) so I can pick out my own stuff (like clothes, makeup, jewelry, ect). I want to ask for $40 (I can bring another $20/$30 from my own wallet) and a trip to the mall with my friend(s).

But I also have something else in mind. I want a cellphone (hopefully the iPhone 4S) because right now I use my dad's old iPod touch 1st generation and all the good apps are for the newer models. I have a texting app on it but I can't call and it's just not the same. Even if I just had the iPhone 4S without a plan I'd be happy cuz I could download a good texting and calling app. So I want to ask for my parents and grandparents to pitch in together and pay for half of it and I can pay for the other half. (BTW it is $400 something right? Because this can only work out if it's $400 something or lower)

So what do you think I should ask for? A trip to the mall or 1/2 of an Iphone 4S?

How to use an iPhone with Ubuntu 12.04?

I'm getting an iPhone 3GS soon, and I'm planning on upgrading it's software to iOS 6, but I use Ubuntu Linux, not Windows or Mac… And I'm not reinstallnig Windows just to use iTunes for the iPhone.

How can I keep my songs up to date on the iPhone, and keep the software on it up to date, if I don't have Windows, and won't reinstall it (I couldn't if I wanted to, anyway; Dell sent me a reintallation disk and a utilities/drivers disk with the computer, but it doesn't have an optical drive).

Why won't my Iphone connect to the internet?

My friend gave me her Iphone 3gs. It is unlocked, though previously it was used on an o2 contract then on an orange contract. I'm on vodafone pay as you go, though i have payed for a vodafone freebee which is 3000 texts, 200 minutes and 500mb web access. On my old phone (samsung galaxy y) the internet worked perfectly. However the IPhone only allows me to use the internet when i'm connected to Wi-Fi. Whenever i try to connect it comes up with a notification saying "could not activate mobile network you are not subscribed to a mobile network" On my network settings it is set to wap.vodafone.co.uk which i believe is correct. Why won't it connect? Surely if it is still on a freebee with 500mb it would work?
