In our initial review we noted several problems we’ve had with the software, but the list just keeps growing and we are growing increasingly less patient...

You obviously don't know what you are talking about because vzw only has 2 deposits, they are either $400 or $125. Clearly you know what your talking about. You all know need to do some research into Sprint with any Business magazine. They are not worth 50 Billion, and they did indeed lose customer base every quarter since 2007. Look it up before you try and argue the fact. The only reason they have 50 million customers is because they merged with Nextel and gained their 20+ million.

Actually the reason why my credit is so bad is because I have bad taste in women, the last one stole nearly $50,000.00 of company equipment (but because I'm in Oregon and it was a Sole Ownership and I was with her for over 6 months it was considered "communial property"), took my check book and started writing checks everywhere while I was at work, used my ATM card at one atm to make a "deposit" and withdraw the "deposited money" in another all while I was at work. So now I'm in checksystems and unable to get a bank account. I'm stuck with a prepaid credit card for another 2 years and I actually only owe about $3,000 to misc companies according to my Experian Credit report. So yeah, Verizon needs to implement a plan like that (ASL Accounts) and they would completely slam the market. I would jump ship ETF and all if they did that.

First of all why are you guys worrying about 2-5 pixels unused? I mean it's not like half a screen or something, what difference would 2-5 pixels make seriously. You need to have a border of unused pixels around the screen so its better for you to see the items in the screen. What if there were no unused pixels and then all of you would start bitchin that the items in the screen are way to close to the edge of the screen. Common. Second of all, if data is lost while syncing up I'm pretty sure that's an iTunes problem not an iPhone problem. Because it is iTunes taking the information in from the phone, not the other way around. My friend had the same problem until he noticed that he accidentally turned the "replace data" setting on in iTunes. Then I'm pretty sure that your phone freezes up or restarts while opening an app or while running a specific app; which means that the issue there is not the phone itself but the script that's making the application run has a glitch or it was poorly coded. Also, I called T-Mobile and AT&T stores and they said that lately SIM cards themselves have been experiencing problems from not activating to dropping calls to completely erroring out. Defective from manufacturers. So again not an iPhone issue but SIM card issue. People lets stop making excuses to make the iPhone look bad because after all it just makes all of us look bad. Just because something went wrong doesn't mean that the phone is bad, think deeper into what could actually have caused the problem/issue itself.

Thank you, I am tired of these people bitching about how bad the iphone is. Why don't you people go cry on your own blogs.

Thats not the point. The point is that you shouldn't have to worry about these problems. Its great that you don't care if pixels are unused or a loss of data the point is that we shouldn't be discussing it because those problems shouldn't exist. Especially with the high rated 'ibrick' I mean phone :)

And each one of these problems can be elegantly conveyed to the user. I used to think apple was good at that sort of things. what happened?

To szaldana; 1sy off he said "Pixel Rows" not 5 or 6 pixels which is still unacceptable. Would you go buy a brand new TV that had 5 or 6 pixels out on it, I dont think so and a tv has a much larger viewing surface so those pixels would be a tad harder to detect but you would still see them and they would still interfere with the picture. Anybody would have the right to complain about that and if it turns out that that's a common problem then that's bad business on Apple's part. That's not bashing that's fact. Secondly, it's being reported that data is being lost not replaced. It doesnt matter if it's the phone itself or the Itunes software, they were made to work together, they are marketed to work together and the company expects them to work together so in the eyes of the customer plain an simple, they should work together. Third, while there seems to be some sim card related issues being reported there are a lot of issues that seem to be direclty related to the phone itself. The bottom line is that the customer expects to get a good product that works the way it is touted to work. They not only expect better from a company like apple but they should get better, after all it's the customer that keeps them in business period. A good company (which based on their employees, stock price, market growth and past products and service), Apple is, and they know what to do with customer complaints. If no one complained about the issues they were experiencing it would take them a long time to fix them if they would get fixed at all afterall the phone was released with these issues. Apple knows how to filter legitimate complaints from hater (as people are calling it) rhetoric. I guess just like there are "Haters" there has to be an opposite, we'll have to call them "Lovers". Lover's follow a company blindly, making excuses as to why a company is never at fault walking around with horse shutters seeing only what the company puts in front of them, and having an overwhelming desire to defend their company to there arch rivals the Haters which makes no sense because deep down those Haters are Lovers themselves vigorously defending there company in this case their precious windows products. Meanwhile the companies you both love soo much neither loves you more or less then the next customer, they are indifferent, it's a business and the bottom line is the dollar, but...the good ones know that the diference between some money and a lot of money is how well they treat their customers and how good a product they put out. I'm sorry my friend but apple made itself look bad all by itself this time.

Apple made themselves look bad? Out of the MILLIONS of 3G iPhones sold, how many have these problems? Add to that the MILLIONS of 1st gen iPhones sold and I can see how it makes apple look bad.

Last time I heard they were at just over a million Iphone 3g's sold but that's just what I heard, I dont know where they're at now since Apple hasn't released their Iphone 3g sales numbers yet. It's not about how many they sold it's about the fact that there are enough people reporting problems that it's being reported in every blog and tech web page you come across even cable news is getting a lil piece of the reporting action, that's a lot of problems. So I would agree that THIS TIME (being the key phrase), they did make themselves look bad. But then I guess a "Lover" (as comment 66 says), wouldn't see that. As for me I'm neutral, I dont get paid to defend the mistakes of Apple or any other company for that matter.

i think we all need to stand up and fight the man. we should all get together and bring apple down. all apple continues to do is take advantage of you dumb consumers out there by painting their products a shiny color. just because you own an apple product does not mean your status in society is higher, it actually means it is lower because of the sacrifice you make for a piece of shit product for twice the price and lesser compatibility. lets chop down the apple tree...who is with me?
