Newton was looking to be too much, and it couldn't live up to the hype.

The iPhone on the other hand is doing amazingly well, you have to agree with that even if you hate the damned thing.]]>Aug 10th 2007 2:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/09/apple-quietly-handling-iphone-touchscreen-issues/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/09/apple-quietly-handling-iphone-touchscreen-issues/

I will say positive things about companies indiscriminately who back up their product with solid support and effective product replacement programs. To humor your unsubstantiated claims, I will go ahead and applaud Microsoft for their decision to support and replace defective Xbox 360s.

Is my now, unbiased opinion up to your, oh so righteous, standard(s), troll?]]>Aug 10th 2007 12:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/09/apple-quietly-handling-iphone-touchscreen-issues/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/09/apple-quietly-handling-iphone-touchscreen-issues/

@ Brandon: I think we both agree manufacturers backing their faulty product to be a good thing, regardless of what money hungry corporation does it. That was my only point to begin with. Never meant any offense (never really thought I gave it either).]]>Aug 10th 2007 8:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/09/apple-quietly-handling-iphone-touchscreen-issues/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/09/apple-quietly-handling-iphone-touchscreen-issues/

Recently all the apps would crash as soon as I'd open them. Email, SMS, Safari, voicemail, everything except the actual phone would crash a second after I opened it. It turned our that my security update didn't take the first time and after round 2 of updating, everything worked fine. Nothing else to report. Waiting for some good new software updates though...]]>Aug 9th 2007 10:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/09/apple-quietly-handling-iphone-touchscreen-issues/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/09/apple-quietly-handling-iphone-touchscreen-issues/1-800-4MY-XBOX]]>Aug 10th 2007 12:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/09/apple-quietly-handling-iphone-touchscreen-issues/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/09/apple-quietly-handling-iphone-touchscreen-issues/Aug 9th 2007 10:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/09/apple-quietly-handling-iphone-touchscreen-issues/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/09/apple-quietly-handling-iphone-touchscreen-issues/Aug 9th 2007 11:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/09/apple-quietly-handling-iphone-touchscreen-issues/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/09/apple-quietly-handling-iphone-touchscreen-issues/Aug 9th 2007 11:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/09/apple-quietly-handling-iphone-touchscreen-issues/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/09/apple-quietly-handling-iphone-touchscreen-issues/
Head office is:
(800) MICROSOFT (642-7676)

Xbox division is:
(800) 4MY-XBOX (469-9269)

Wasn't that easy?

I also have their address and fax number and other contact information if you need it. Because legitimate companies have addresses and phone numbers. You can easily get your point across without insulting people. Why are you so hostile? Now I really wonder if you even owned an xbox. Because anyone who bought an expensive product and had it unreasonably break would contact the manufacturer to see if they could have the problem resolved.]]>Aug 10th 2007 12:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/09/apple-quietly-handling-iphone-touchscreen-issues/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/09/apple-quietly-handling-iphone-touchscreen-issues/http://service.xbox.com/servicesignin.aspx

This website is recommended by Microsoft as the best place to go if you have a defective Xbox 360 (as directly linked to from xbox.com index page)

I'd suggest that as the best place to start!]]>Aug 10th 2007 12:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/09/apple-quietly-handling-iphone-touchscreen-issues/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/09/apple-quietly-handling-iphone-touchscreen-issues/

While I was in line at the 5th Ave G-Bar 2 other people had the same problem but in different areas of the screen.

I would hope they refund the rental for the defect!

Still a great PHONE!!!!!]]>Aug 9th 2007 10:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/09/apple-quietly-handling-iphone-touchscreen-issues/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/09/apple-quietly-handling-iphone-touchscreen-issues/
I suspect, Apple does this on purpose ... !

- Sell defective touchscreen
- Fanboy bought it
- Fanboy return it
- Fanboy paid the phone rent (PROFIT!!!)
- Fanboy got replacement
- Repack the old defective touchscreen ... and wait another fanboy !]]>Aug 10th 2007 5:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/09/apple-quietly-handling-iphone-touchscreen-issues/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/09/apple-quietly-handling-iphone-touchscreen-issues/Aug 9th 2007 11:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/09/apple-quietly-handling-iphone-touchscreen-issues/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/09/apple-quietly-handling-iphone-touchscreen-issues/Aug 9th 2007 11:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/09/apple-quietly-handling-iphone-touchscreen-issues/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/09/apple-quietly-handling-iphone-touchscreen-issues/
When he brought it back to AT&T they said, and I quote, "...the Zune must have confused his iPhone with an iPod and made IT its bi*ch...". They promptly gave him a new one.

Not one had any screen problems. During that time, I offered up my company cell to contact me if they had questions, to this day I havent heard any calls regarding the screen. I have heard of issues with reception in concrete buildings (go figure), the battery life not lasting one movie (asked them to bring it in, gave them a blackjack for a day and tested the battery, could not repeat the issue), cell reception cutting in and out when other members of the family had perfect reception (skeptical, but Accepted it at face value).

I did get one phone back that bricked on signup and one that returned because every time they tried to make a call, the phone shut off. Both phones exchanged immedately and the customers havent had issues since.

I only hope if it craps out in a 8 months they will be so kind :)

I actually brought it to the Apple store at Oakbrook mall near Chicago and waited for an hour for my appointment with a genius. I showed him what was happening and he agreed that it was a problem he couldn't fix and offered to send my phone away for a week. Unfortunately that just won't work for me because I use my phone heavily for work. Needless to say I was disappointed that I drove an hour and a half out there and left with my still not completely functional phone. As a loyal Apple buyer that is always first to promote their products I feel a little used. Dirty even. Maybe smudged is a better word. :)

So where's my help Apple? $29.99 is a bit much for a phone I'm just "borrowing" for a week which after I have to drive back to return. I'll spend that much in gas.

Don't worry, I'm telling all of my friends and strangers who ask how it's working that I love it. I'm too embarrassed to admit I bought a $600 phone that doesn't completely work.]]>Aug 10th 2007 1:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/09/apple-quietly-handling-iphone-touchscreen-issues/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/09/apple-quietly-handling-iphone-touchscreen-issues/Aug 10th 2007 2:56AM
