I myself will never buy another Iphone. The device itself works alright, "most" of the time. The Itunes software, to me is the weak point. If you want software running on your computer constantly dialing out to the internet, and using memory needlessly, maybe itunes is for you. You can disable it easily enough through msconfig, but everytime you want to update apps, or put music on it, you have to re-enable the crappy software for it to work. Its just a little too big brother for me.
Ever since the firmware 3.0 upgrade, it takes up to a minute for a call to connect, I will probably have to roll it back or take it in to find out whats wrong. I used to think microsoft was bad about drm, but apple definitely has them beat. I won't say never, but this is probably the first and last apple product I will buy.
You are exactly the kind of ignorant user companies like apple want. You have no idea what the software runnning on your computer is doing and probably don't much care. The next time you type an idiotic statement like that, maybe you should put your brain in gear first. If you read my post, instead of trying to be an apple fan boy you would have read that I said the device works fine most of the time. Its the software I have a big problem with.
Dialing or phoning home is an expression of software connecting to the internet "WITHOUT" your knowledge. Its true, you are as ignorant as I thought. It has nothing to do with an old dial up modem connection.
