Just to add on to the thread - Has anyone had any problems with Iphones? like programming, viruses etc etc? I was thinking of buying one - my contract is up in a couple of months and i'd like a different phone

No viruses, except for this 'scare' but as the article says, it only affects 'jailbroken' iPhones (edited software to allow non-genuine and possibly 'infected' apps). I've had the iPhone 2G 8GB then iPhone 3G 16GB and now iPhone 3GS 32GB and Mrs has the iPhone 3G 16GB in white and never had an issue with any of them. As previously stated, some of the tools and gadgets you can get are incredibly useful. |

I have read on another site (modmyi) that the phone needs to have an "ssh" session going to be infected. That is, Wirelessly accessing the folders and files on the phone, to modify the contents. Its very handy for adding roms and other things into the phone. So its highly unlikely that people with jailbroken phones need to worry at all.
I find the original format the phone is in, although is boring, to be very easy to use, quick at going through menu's. The only downside to them, is that after you answer a call and hang up, the phone resorts back to the "contacts" menu. A bit annoying but i can live with it. If anyone is thinking of getting the new phones, and hoping to jailbreak, you had better be quick, as apple is changing the operating system again as we speak, and a new jailbreak may not be written any time soon. Cheers Scott

I wish apple would allow people to do things that can only be done after jailbreaking. For example, themes, icons.. Really personalise the whole phone. This is how mine looks compared to the standard format.
Although i am afraid of being rick rolled, as should all, i doubt many will be affected by this worm.

Rick Astley....Wow that is a good way to say you dont like iPhones. Getting that would be torture.
I was looking at an iPhone but have heard mixed reviews. Seems people either like them alot, or dont....alot! There doesnt seem to be a middleground.

People either love them or hate them. Personally the iPhone seems like a good product, I am one of those people that just likes my phone to make calls and send sms' I don't care if my phone doesn't have a peeing monkey on it, or a fake ball of paper to throw in a bin. In saying that, I have used my sisters one a couple of times, and the screen seems nice, gets pretty hot during a phone call, and the call / hang up buttons are reversed to every phone in the world. Small gripe, yes, but enough to deter me

Calls are easy, press phone, scroll through contacts, how much easier do you need it (oh and 3GS has voice dialing which actually works quite well) App Store issues, not something I have heard anyone having at all. Quote:
Currently mine has been on continuously (no reboots) for 37 days and it does get used quite extensively, last reboot was done for a firmware update. I can't remember the last time I had to reboot for anything other than an update (would have been back on firmware 2.x though, 3.x is much more stable.
