Wonder how many other folks are out there with similar experiences. Interesting, Jason, that you would have a similar experience. Wonder how many other folks are out there with similar experiences.

Fri, 03 Aug 2007 23:36:48 +0000 http://www.footnoted.org/earnings-quality/all-eyes-on-the-iphone/#comment-2929 Just had to share my iPhone experience... Almost IDENTICAL to yours. Frequent crashes, intermittent speaker, went from 5 Bars to No Service frequently without changing cells or moving. This happened at both my home and office. I got to know hard and soft reset pretty well. The guys at the AT&T store appreciated my help as they did not know how to reset 2 of their 3 display units which had crashed post release day 1, 2 and 3. No one at AT&T could help and Apple blamed AT&T network. Finally phone #1 went back to Apple, got a loaner (Phone#2) with the same problem. I got a replacement for #1 (Phone#3) which unfortunately arrived the last day I could return it, so back it went, untested. I figure 2/3 were bad and the third possibly. I'll wait till Apple gets version 2 out. Besides I was worried the China assembly process probably used lead-based paint (joke). When it worked, beautiful, intuitive phone, but for me and my network (older network infrastructure) it was too unreliable and Apple clearly cannot troubleshoot cell phones while AT&T claims they are not allowed to...

Got that based on dif in first 2 day sales vs turned on later count by ATT. Kind of a high that still doesn't account for the returns for sticky keys and other probs. RBC throws in delayed activation count due to gifts vs instant users. This all seems pretty airy until a year on year count is made, esp throwing in how any Euro sales run -- hot or cold. By next year there could be a whole nuther thang to amuse the masses for less coin. Now that's a babe magnet (per NYT story) beyond the iPhoney. hmm Just now Bberg TV did story on RBC Capital

Either way, I believe iPhone is going to be HUGE for Apple. AAPL is not showing up on my fundamental screens, but I'm thinking of buying some stock :) I can’t remember where, but I’ve read, that Apple is already planning an updated iPhone model, with much less energy consumption, thanks to Transmeta’s LongRun2 technology.
