There's his problem. If his iPhone was working perfectly and he checked to see what the update actually did then he shouldn't have accepted. My iPhone4 is working perfectly, I checked what the update does, and I haven't upgraded the software, because my handset doesn't have the problems the software fixes, so what's the point? And this guy runs his own software company?!? Mark

I am still keeping my old P910i as a back up. Even so I do not have any of these problems yet, maybe next month when the white ones become available it will be another matter. _________________Do concentrate, 007... "You are gifted.

why not, shouldnt it "just work"  , shouldnt the consumer have the expectation that it will cause no problems. Haven't Apple spend billions in advertising saying they dont have all these problems with their products? <tongue firmly in ones own cheek> _________________Finally joined Flickr

Any firmware update of any sort has a small chance of going wrong and damaging the device. Every time Microsoft or Sony update the firmware on the Xbox 360 or PS3, you see forum threads claiming the update has 'bricked' their console therefore Sony/MS are incompetent idiots and why didn't they test it properly and surely with all their money and resources sure this simply shouldn't happen and I'm going to sue! Every. Single. Time. There are apparently now 3 million iPhone 4s in people's hands. Even if the upgrade goes perfectly well 99.99 percent of the time, that still means 3,000 people will get their phones bricked (assuming I've got my zeros right). And NASA would be happy with a .01% failure rate on most of their kit, let alone consumer electronics firmware updates sent across the vague and patchy internet and though any number of different PC/Mac configurations with different USB hardware.

My upgrade has cost me nothing thanks to the sale of my previous phone. So far no signal issues, but then again I havent made any calls yet (though I did notice it was showing less of a signal than the 3GS (for the 10 minutes both sims were active) I can say the screen is fantastic, I was sceptical about all the guff that was being said about the "Retina" screen but by jimminy cricket its nice apart fom that is running shweeeet. _________________Finally joined Flickr

Yeah, almost 50% of my upgrade was covered by the sale of my previous iPhone. I wouldn't've upgraded without it. The display is a beautiful screen isn't it. Mark

It IS what happened to the prototype. Well fancy taking the pototype to a bar anyway. You'd think they'd be under lock and key! _________________Still the official cheeky one
