I am very tempted by the iPhone, but after this particular review, I am going to consider something a lot less fragile. I live in the rain forest – always humid!
Thanks for the info – I am shocked at Apple offering inferior quality.

Wow, I just brought the iphone and decided to look online for customer reviews. I know I should have did my research first, but everyone in my office raves about it. I have 5 days to return it and after reading these reviews, I’m strongly considering it.

Wow, we were wondering about whether to consider an iphone & were toying with switching to AT&T for this purpose but this is very persuasive AGAINST iphones (even tho my buddy LOVES hers). Thanks for these helpful experiences! HI has awful humidity and I’m sure we will be accused of water damage too if the phones stop working.

You are not alone! I didn’t do anything unusual with my iphone 3g (16g). The camera feature stopped working a few weeks ago on it’s own. I didn’t drop it, absoulutely NOTHING! It just would’nt work period! I took it it yesterday here in New York (the long island store), and was told that the phone had an indicator (displaying a red color), indicating water damage! I have owned nokias and samsung phones and have never, NEVER, had water damage of any kind! I am very careful and have had this iphone in a ‘water proof, rubber case’ since the day I purchased it! After speaking to the manager and calling customer relations while in the store (I refuse to cough up $199 for a refurbished replaeement), the manager finally offered a refurbished one for free…I told him to hold the phone (I was there for a 8:00 p.m.appontment, and didn’t finish with this issue until 9:30 p.m.!)I wanted to come home and research this issue on the internet. I’m sorry to say that I feel many consumers have been ‘suckered’! Apparently, many of us that LIVE IN HUMID ENVIRONMENTS (I live in New York which humid in summer and winter months), have been sold a phone that is not fit for usage!!!! Apple Inc. is beginning to look like ENRON inc. to me! I may contact N.Y. state consumer’s affairs today about this issue with apple and this product!

Very good review. I’ve read so many horror stories about AT&T’s ignorance, arrogance, ghastly customer service, (or lack thereof), and also about these crummy phones and their poor connectivity around the globe, that I am definitely going with Verizon. (I use an Apple computer and haven’t had a lot of complaints, though I always pay for Apple Care), but this is where I get off. No iPhone for me. A ubiquitous thanks to all you who have reviewed AT&T and iPhone.

I’ve been thinking of getting an iphone but after this review, I’m seriously rethinking it. I know 2 people who love their I phones and don’t have major problems with it besides syncing but I have one friend who has had lots of problems with his iphone. The Monterey Apple store is very helpful and will replace your phone. As i said, I’m going tro look into other phones. Thanks for the review! It was very helpful.
