I simply can not believe how bad the iPhone and itunes is. We are not in a brilliant reception area, but with the iPhone, the phone drops out on a regular basis, like nothing else we have experienced in the last seven years. Reception wise, it is the worst phone we have ever had in fifteen or more years as far as reception is concerned. Just pathetic.

We saw on the internet and were told by our provider that the phone needed a software update via itunes. We had an older version of itunes which could not even download an update for itself. So we downloaded the lastest version and reinstalled it. Still error 3259. We unblocked ports 3689 & 5353 still error 3259. We can download hundreds of megs via other browsers but itunes, it’s as slow as a snail or even slug. A few megs and it crashes.

Now we’re stuck with a phone which would be OK if it worked as a phone in places where other phones work and a useless toy that can’t be updated.

It’s going to take a lot to get me to ever buy apple again.

Never never never is the word!

I like a lot of people tried many times; over 20 at least. Then last week up in Shanghai i plugged my iPhone 3G into my pc to charge it. I accepted the download and install option in iTunes and went to bed. The following morning it had successfully downloaded! That was on my work thinkpad and not even my Macbook.

Strange that it can do that in a hotel room in Shanghai and not at home in Melbourne!!!!!

I am still trying to download OS 3.0 (have been trying daily for 3 weeks now) and still keep getting the “Network Timed Out” message. This is ludicrous!

I have a first gen iphone. Never upgraded since 2007. Recently did the 3.0 download now my notes app (original app) doesnt work. I can see the list of notes but if I tap one it goes right back to the home screen. I can write a new note but when I tap done it goes right back to the home screen and the note doesnt save. Any ideas?

I ended up installing itunes on my wifes computer. I used that install for the update and then restored eveything from my box. It was the only thing that would work for me.
