For awhile.   I did the 1.1.1 update the day after it came out.  The only problems I had after that were a few freezes (resolved with a soft reset) and sometimes the party on the other end couldn't hear me talking on a phone call.<br><br>The phone is -not- unlocked, and as far as I know not modified. I only had two things that were possibly wierd. One is a single iToner ringtone.  The other is Beejive's Jivetalk.<br><br>As far as I know from my extensive research, iToner is not a hack in any way. At least not according to everything Ambrosia has written.  Being in the 'biz I know how these things go sometimes.<br><br>And Jivetalk is a straight AJAX web app.<br><br>So all was well. I was enjoying the 1.1.1 'double-click to go to faves' feature. Don't much care about the wifi itunes store access.<br><br>About two weeks after the update I started Safari and opened the Beejive Jivetalk URL to IM someone. And at that point the screen froze.<br><br>Ick.  Soft restore would reboot the phone and it was acting wierd.  Would boot to the UI, but sasn't responsive to any touches or the home button.  Wouldn't find the network.  Sometimes the time would be right, sometimes not. But the key thing here is that it wouldn't respond to any touches. That's not good.<br><br>Now, at this point I have to add that there is a tiny, tiny crack in teh lower left glass.  If you use your phone as an alarm clock keep it somehere you can't accidentally knock it down while you're sleeping. The crack is in the lower left corner of the glass, about 1/8\" in from teh corner, in the part of the glass directly to the left of the home button. In other words, NOT in the area of the touchscreen UI.<br><br>So, I get on the phone with support.  No dice on doing a restore. All restore attempts (on two machines, one mac, one PC) return 'error 1602'.  Get a super-nice higher level support agent on the phone.  We do a few more restore attempts.  Nada. Finally we set up a a repair.<br><br>So I get a free loaner, which is appreciated, and off the phone goes for repair.<br><br>Well, back it comes. Unrepaired. Because of the glass crack (see my blog for the letter they sent). OK i understand that the repair center can't touch it.  I get that.<br><br>The problem is statement number 2 on their letter:<br>\"Due to unauthorized modifications... was inoperable\".  And then they voided my warranty.<br><br>And there lies the problem.  Since then I have been able to force-restore and reinstall 1.1.1.  But nothing I do has been able to restore any touchscreen functionality.<br><br>So maybe the digitizer actually -is- broken.  But I still think (in my 13 years in software support) that it's a software problem.<br><br>So my 1.1.1 experience has been lame.  I'll be writing more about it on my blog.<br><br>And to counterpoint that, my wife's iPhone (which I updated 2 days after mine) has been flawless so far. So maybe itoner did have something to do with it. I just can't tell.  I have an appointment to talk to a genious tomorrow to get the straight scoop.  If Apple won't help me (and won't let me buy a $250 repair?) then I'll have no choice but to waste a lot more time and money and fix the glass myself and then turn to the hacking community for a software solution.

It is a gen 1 product.  There aren\'t any surprises.. it has been clear from the start that it is a walled garden.  Users fooling with the software and are taking a risk that is known upfront.<br><br>3rd party apps open up a can of worms in relation to the data plan.  A custom app could ping a remote server endlessly for days nonstop...multiply this by a million phones and at&amp;t wouldn\'t be thrilled.  They are trying to make the plan affordable to all.<br><br>Not to mention 3rd party apps can be buggy or capacity hogs....and that makes it difficult for Apple to guarantee the ENTIRE user experience.  A single app…say a voip or IM client could easily slow done an already limited edge connection, the processor, or usage of memory.  You know who would get the support call when the default mail or browser screeched to a halt….Apple would, even if their app isn’t the problem.<br><br>Supporting a new product in a new industry isn’t easy….having to support 3rd party screw-ups during a launch just adds another layer of possible failure in an already high risk time period.<br><br>By Apple controlling all the variables with at&amp;t, they can take full responsibility for the ENTIRE user experience.<br><br><br>Also, you don\'t have to use at&amp;t, no one is forcing you to.  Go use another phone if you don\'t like it.  Perhaps a Windows based one from t-mobile?<br><br>Otherwise, people should keep their pants on and wait for a future version/model that is more open with software and networks…years from now.<br><br>….just my humble opinion.<br><br>Krgrds,<br>E.

I was considering getting an iPhone, but I think perhaps I won\'t.  It\'s just magpie behaviour, I don\'t really need it, it\'s because it\'s new and shiny and has bright pretty colours and does lots of stuff .. anyway, as I\'d want to keep with my current mobile provider it\'d have to be unlocked, and this is not really a good idea. Apple\'s exclusivity in terms of mobile providers isn\'t good customer service behaviour, IMHO; I accept that hacking it is prima facie a bad thing, but if Apple doesn\'t give the customers what they want, there are people out there intelligent enough to get it anyway.  Maybe Apple should consider that before taking the heavy-handed approach.</div>\

I\'m sure your son is a good kid and you are proud of him.  Just know that later on in life, if he isn\'t as successful as you, he\'ll always have his hand out and never quite get it out of your pocket.<br><br>This is the way things go.  How do I know? I was your son once!  It took me until I was hmmm... wait! I still don\'t have my hand out of my parent\'s pockets and I\'m 36!! OMG!! (Sad and true). I\'m pretty successful too (just over 6 digits a year) the thing is... my parents are loaded and I just want the stuff I\'m used to having... (everything I want).<br><br>So anyway here\'s the thing with that... it keeps me down, it keeps me dependant, and enables me not to strive and achieve the way I would if I didn\'t have my hands in their pocket.  What is worse is, I know this and somehow am locked into it anyway.<br><br>If that is what you want for your kids you\'re as selfish as my parents are.  They feel good everything they can do something for me, and disregard the fact that it isn\'t making me a better man.  I actually find that I\'m angry with them alot over it and hadn\'t really realized it until fairly recently.</div>\

Update downloaded and installed fine, however when it completed I got the "please connect to itunes" message. itunes told me I needed to reset my phone so I hesitantly clicked ok. Is it time to panic yet?<br><br>After reset I was given the option to restore from my last backup. Pheww. After restore from backup I noticed some of my information was gone. I was able to re-synch my audio/video library with no problems. All my email was gone (not huge but meant I had to manually go through and mark each individual one as read). All my camera roll photos were gone - this one sucked. My wifi networks seemed to be lost and even though I re-added and succesfully connected they wouldn\'t work. I ended up doing the add &amp; forget about 5 times to beat them into submission untill they started working<br><br>My thoughts on this update - wifi only itunes is just meh. Where\'s the zune like ability to wifi share with other iphones? I can now re-order my stocks and weather apps - yippee that was a no brainer. Still no cut &amp; paste. Still no flash support. Still no Exchange direct push support. Overall not as smooth of an update as the last few, definitely not as smooth of an experience that I\'ve had on my other devices. My phone wasn\'t bricked so that\'s a plus.<br><br>Still loving my iphone and don\'t mind the bumps in the road as long as Apple keeps making things better for me and not just adding more ways to suck money from my iwallet (itunes wifi store). Still the best portable computer experiences I\'ve had of all the devices I\'ve owned (Second best was the Danger "sidekick" HipTop.).</div>\

If the user isn\'t willing to sign the contract, they may choose, then, not to purchase an iPhone.  On the other side, I do not condone Apple\'s forcing the use of one service on the user.  I\'m not ready to firmly come down on one side, although in both cases, Apple is at fault for facilitating monopolitic business activity by AT&amp;T.<br><br>Was it necessary (or prudent) for Apple to take that activity?  Probably not.  Owning a minority share in the computing arena, it was not wise, although they have the lion\'s share of the MP3 player environment above competitors with lower prices and more features (SanDisk, for example)<br><br>I do not own an iPhone, so I can, perhaps, comment with some extra objectivity... and I can say with extreme confidence that... I really don\'t know.</div>\

OK, so if you go to another mobile provider, you\'d be paying them for a contract every month too.<br><br>AT&amp;T won\'t lose out.... unless, they\'re only going to make money from the data services, the very thing Apple is preventing you from using with other providers.<br><br>It seems a bit of a shame that Apple have gone out of their way to physically disable devices, but probably they needed to be aggressive to ensure the cash flow from AT&amp;T.<br><br>Like with every corporation, it\'s all about money.

	 <div id="dsq-comment-message-9690862" class="dsq-comment-message">My update went fine.  For awhile.   I did the 1.1.1 update the day after it came out.  The only problems I had after that were a few freezes (resolved with a soft reset) and sometimes the party on the other end couldn\'t hear me talking on a phone call.<br><br>The phone is -not- unlocked, and as far as I know not modified. I only had two things that were possibly wierd. One is a single iToner ringtone.  The other is Beejive\'s Jivetalk.<br><br>As far as I know from my extensive research, iToner is not a hack in any way. At least not according to everything Ambrosia has written.  Being in the \'biz I know how these things go sometimes.<br><br>And Jivetalk is a straight AJAX web app.<br><br>So all was well. I was enjoying the 1.1.1 \'double-click to go to faves\' feature. Don\'t much care about the wifi itunes store access.<br><br>About two weeks after the update I started Safari and opened the Beejive Jivetalk URL to IM someone. And at that point the screen froze.<br><br>Ick.  Soft restore would reboot the phone and it was acting wierd.  Would boot to the UI, but sasn\'t responsive to any touches or the home button.  Wouldn\'t find the network.  Sometimes the time would be right, sometimes not. But the key thing here is that it wouldn\'t respond to any touches. That\'s not good.<br><br>Now, at this point I have to add that there is a tiny, tiny crack in teh lower left glass.  If you use your phone as an alarm clock keep it somehere you can\'t accidentally knock it down while you\'re sleeping. The crack is in the lower left corner of the glass, about 1/8" in from teh corner, in the part of the glass directly to the left of the home button. In other words, NOT in the area of the touchscreen UI.<br><br>So, I get on the phone with support.  No dice on doing a restore. All restore attempts (on two machines, one mac, one PC) return \'error 1602\'.  Get a super-nice higher level support agent on the phone.  We do a few more restore attempts.  Nada. Finally we set up a a repair.<br><br>So I get a free loaner, which is appreciated, and off the phone goes for repair.<br><br>Well, back it comes. Unrepaired. Because of the glass crack (see my blog for the letter they sent). OK i understand that the repair center can\'t touch it.  I get that.<br><br>The problem is statement number 2 on their letter:<br>"Due to unauthorized modifications... was inoperable".  And then they voided my warranty.<br><br>And there lies the problem.  Since then I have been able to force-restore and reinstall 1.1.1.  But nothing I do has been able to restore any touchscreen functionality.<br><br>So maybe the digitizer actually -is- broken.  But I still think (in my 13 years in software support) that it\'s a software problem.<br><br>So my 1.1.1 experience has been lame.  I\'ll be writing more about it on my blog.<br><br>And to counterpoint that, my wife\'s iPhone (which I updated 2 days after mine) has been flawless so far. So maybe itoner did have something to do with it. I just can\'t tell.  I have an appointment to talk to a genious tomorrow to get the straight scoop.  If Apple won\'t help me (and won\'t let me buy a $250 repair?) then I\'ll have no choice but to waste a lot more time and money and fix the glass myself and then turn to the hacking community for a software solution. That\'s not really what I want to do.. :(</div>\
