So after resigning myself to the fact that i bricked my iPhone, i decided to call the store i got it from who directed my to Apple Care… i explained the situation to the guy and he asked me what OS i was running (Vista Business) and asked me to create a new local account [...]
It appears that iTunes 7.7.1 is doing more harm than good at the moment. I updated this morning and have since tried to re-flash my iPhone back to fresh 2.0…

I’ve tried this restore a number of times now in both recovery mode (where you see the iTunes logo) and in DFU mode (black screen) and [...]
Last week i was donated an old first gen iPhone dock, which i took to our engineering dept and attacked with an electric precision grinder….the result is a little messy but very very usable.

I’m new to the iPhone world, i specifically didn’t jump on the bandwagon first time around because the first generation phone was simply not well enough equipped for me. I previously had a Nokia N95 which was - in my opinion - the best phone on the market for a long time (only beaten by [...]
I’m pretty sure that this information is all over the net, but to be honest it’s here mostly as a resource for myself and my iPhone-owning friends to be easy to find.

If you have an iPhone in the UK on o2 and you have the insurance that took out when you got the phone initially and your phone is lost / stolen / damaged right now, as there is no stock of 8GB iPhones left you will receive a 16GB model as a replacement. Winner.
