I LOVE APPLE. That being said, shame on you Steve Jobs!!! iPhone 2.0.x software is NOT(!!!) rady for prime-time!! I have BRICKED two iPhones thanks to your faulty software; and even with my third iPhone I have had to RESTORE my iphone at least 10 times!!! Now, with v. 2.0.1, it is A LITTLE better but still crashes and still has other bugs. Heck, my 1.0 software was far less buggy-- I have to travel out of country for a week this Fall and I'm afraid my phone will crash!!

1) Yes I was talking about 2.0.1 Read more carefully next time. It is still buggy and still crashes and did NOT fix most bugs. If you can't read the MANY blogs that agree, that's your problem.2) I don't care what YOU call a phone that is destroyed and had to be replaced because something happened and the Apple folks at the iStore couldn't fix it either. The 2.x software did that to my iPhone 1 and to my first iPhone 3G! Whatever you call it, it is the SAME result: pre-release not-ready-for-prime-time software, like OS X 1.0 Only, I *need* my phone and can't have it crash. If you don't use a phone for business because you're still in school or something, well, then good for you.

Point of reason...You should not evaluate (and criticize) PAST VERSIONS. I started reading your review and gasped...until I found out you weren't even talking about the proper version!
Point of clarification...
I just found out that a friend's phone "locked up" due to an 3rd party APPLICATION ISSUE. I don't really call this BRICKING which, in the "hacker's" world happens all the time when cracking firmware and unlocking a phone goes awry.
