Apple Screws Up With the iPhone Yet Again
Some of you may know that I’ve been having myriad problems with my iPhone 3G, mostly around rapidly deteriorating battery life and inability to restore from backup.
Today, Apple released the new 2.1 firmware, and it’s broken my Exchange integration. Right now, I have no calendar, no contacts and no email — the unit is useless to me without these core functions. I’ve tried deleting the Exchange account and re-adding it, but that doesn’t help. Apple support forums indicate that at least a few others are experiencing the same problem. Frankly, I’m sick of the inability of the iPhone to perform basic functions, and I’m seriously thinking about switching back to BlackBerry.
Two reasons to buy Apple products: (1) They just work and (2) sex appeal. So far, (1) is absent leaving my iPhone decidely unsexy. ![]()
