To use a driving analogy… your chances of having an accident is smaller if you drive 1/2 the week vs. 24/7. Are the other phones *on person* that much?

more accident = more sales:)

By following the simple steps you will easily update iPod Touch with firmware 3.0 absolutely free of cost.

/shrug Just an idea!

I work for AT&T and get calls about this allll the time! And as an iPhone owner myself, I’d like the peace of mind.

The two apps that would freeze the phone consistently were Tap Defense and Mocha VNC. Tap Defense would do it once every 10 games or so, and Mocha VNC would freeze the phone on launch every single time if the phone hadn’t been rebooted recently.

Sure, you can blame it on a few bad apps, but app code should always run at a lower priority than crucial system services, such as the service that checks to see catches and terminates crashed apps. There’s no reason that a single app should be able to take down the whole OS.

Well, there is one reason: a buggy OS. The iPhone OS is not exactly bulletproof, but then again, OS X is still buggy on the desktop, too. I still see plenty of beach-balls, for seemingly no reason.

In the first section it compares iPhone failures to blackberry and Treo phones. But then it says 20% of iphone users have dropped their phones and damaged them… but then didn’t say how many Treo or BB users did! That’s highly deceiving! Where are the comparative statistics?????

I’ve had two Visors, two treos and now an iPhone. I’ve dropped them all. All phones are droppable. They all have smooth plastic surfaces. And this is just smart phones. What about cell phones in general? What about portable devices in general?

Here’s a statistic that needs tracking: Age of the phone dropper. BBs and Treos until recently were disproportionately marketed to business users until the iPhone came along. Then suddenly there was this explosion and the iPhone was marketed to the masses as a consumer phone as well. How many of those droppers are teens? You know, careless, thoughtless teens with rich parents. Say what you will about what that says about the iPhone demographic, but if the demographic says teens are more likely to get iPhones than a BB or Treo, then I contend they are more likely to drop them. I could be wrong though, only proper statistical analysis will prove this or not.

Without comparison, this 20% figure is meaningless. This article is FUD until comparisons are made not only to other smart phones, but to other devices.
