I quit the iPhone

It has lived up to the hype in my book.

Agreed.

I switched from my 2G to a 3G phone today infact. In 30min, I'd hit one button (SYNC) and it restored everything from my 2G onto my 3G. Even Safari web pages I'd left open, SMSs I'd left open, etc.

And I've just enabled tethering. Bloody fantastic. So easy too. No more 3G dongle ****!

You mean you're using it as a 3G Modem for your Computer? I was trying to figure that out with my brother's iPhone and the only way I figured was via a hack. I'd be interested to know how you've managed it, Apple doesn't approve AFAIK.

Depends on carrier not Apple.

It's a case in point about the whole ball grabbing concept of the iPhone, cripples and restrictions at every turn, so corporations have you where they want you.

Ok, it's a very attractive gadget/toy/mp3 plyr/phone/thingy that has 'some' practical purposes. But if you want to make the most out of it. You gotta jailbreak it, and be prepared to maintain it that way.

Otherwise you're just a slave to the contract.

My brother is happy with his, although he does get snappy when I criticise it (signs he may be in denial). But for me, it's not worth it. I got enough bills and tech bollocks in my life.
