IPhone 3.0 Problems Continue



It seems that the Apple iPhone 3.0 and iPod Touch problems continue, we are getting numerous reports from our users with a variety of issues. Below you can see some of the latest, but this is just a snap shot.

I got it last night from US and it took about 3 hours to install! Lost a lot of album art too. Otherwise, the new search function is worth the 5 quid

It deleted all my text history, and my contacts. I also can’t send or receive pictures, movies, or audio files

I have nothing but trouble, the download was fine but then when I went to install it saying that I cant update cause it cant because the “iPhone activation server is temporarily unavailable”. Can someone help?

What a LEMON, iPhone 3.0 downgrade - The bad news is that the hyped download started at all. It would have been better had it not happened at all. Like so many, the useless voice memo app pushed all the other apps onto different pages. Equally, follow-on pages are full of blanks. Which bright spark decided to put the memo pad on page one?

3.0 is more like putting a child in a sweet shop and saying NO! So it has an updated Bluetooth, oh please! What’s the point? More to the point what are Apple afraid of by not using defacto standard Bluetooth for mobiles. I guess the good news is the CABLE from the phone does work (please note I said CABLE a piece of wire to make a data transfer connection) which means when I take a photo at least I can grab it with my PC and use my PC to share it via Bluetooth. However, that doesn’t generate revenue for Telcos does it - oh some good news is the Skype app still works.

I was really expecting something from 3.0, industry norms from Apple, but what I got was a messed up layout, the stupid assumption that I have Outlook (which should have been buried at birth) and more things that don’t work. Oh well, at least AudioBoo ( cool app ) is still fine and can be connected to my PC, via the line in cable I made, to record audio blogs.

I really wanted to be excited by 3.0; the only thing that made my blood boil was Apple continuing to think that they know best. Maybe someone should send me an MP3, oh sorry that should be QuickTime NOT, of the Apple brainwashing hymn, and then maybe I’ll start to understand why my partners Nokia can do more than my iPhone and be happy about that.

The problems downloading the new iPhone 3.0 software were expected, and we knew that some users would get problems after installing the new firmware. But how big a deal is this really when we think of the amount of users upgrading the OS?
