Striker, 03 Jul 2009Ignorance? OK, allow me to elaborate. At no point did I ... moreHmm... if only i had my phone melt into a blob of plastic im going to sue apple for 10million - either way i win.

Truth is - all phones heat. Some overheat, like the Nokia 6300. But melting into a blob is never going to happen, you can wait your whole lifetime. But, the idiocy of exaggerating things to prove a point is amusing, i must admit.

Having said that, try not to take comments on this page personally. It s sure gonna make your life a lot more easier :)

        Ignorance? OK, allow me to elaborate.

        At no point did I even imply that jailbreraking damages the Iphone. What I said was it invalidates the warranty. Which it does. Unless, as you say, you revert back to the original settings through Itunes before returning it. BUT, What happens when you jailbreak the phone and it melts? How the hell are you supposed to revert it back when its nothing but a lump of curdled plastic? The handset surely would need to be operational in order to connect to Itunes. So the point I was making is that it is an absolute crime to have to take that risk, just to get the thing to work how you need it to.

        And another thing, what is it about you Apple people? Whats with all the insults? "ignorant" "No life" "Can't Afford" "Laymen" "Paupers" etc etc etc, and its not just one person, its pretty much everyone who has posted here so far. I would say that this site is not riddled with ignorance at all, it's riddled with ARROGANCE. Who do you think you are? You people think you're the illuminati or something, it's like you can't see the glaring flaws in your precious Iphone and that you treat anyone with a different opinion to yourself with contempt. Get over yourselves people and drop the attitudes, this is a public forum where people are encouraged to express their own opinions. If you can't accept that without throwing around childish insults to people you know nothing whatsoever about then it's YOU who are the ignorant ones.

              The amount of ignorance on this site is astounding to say the least. Where on earth did you get the impression that once you jailbreak you lose your warranty?! Jailbreaking cannot damage your iPhone, if you have a problem with your handset all you have to do is restore your phones to it's original software through iTunes.

                You truly must have no life to wait and comment first to trash the phone. All phones have problems, here in Cyprus most phones overheat and malfunction if you are outside, subsequently all phones have their lovers and haters, I have a Touch HD and a 3GS and love both for different reasons i guess. So please stop waisting time with all these isheep nonsense as someone can call you a windows tard, or a symbian relik, or a samsucks. In closing all phones and os'es have theire good and bad so deal with it and with the fact that different people have different taste.

                    Dean, 03 Jul 2009http://www.telegraph.co.uk/scienceandtechnology/technology/... moreBAHAHAHAHA what an absolute joke. The weather? Well how come no other phones are melting in the heat then?

                    Nice to see Apple insulting their loyal customers by treating them like gullible fools yet again only weeks after releasing a "new phone" which is basically just a firmware update.

                    Thanks for that Dean, you've brightened up my morning!!!!
