      [deleted post]The iPhone is not so advanced. have you looked at any of the other phones like htc, sony ericsson or even the n97 carefully. The iPhone doesnt have most of the features that those phones have. Sure it has a good interface and a good capacitative screen, but thats about it. The other phones have that as well.

              So you're saying that iPhone copied the camera & video features? These features already exist on other phones before apple launched the iPhone.

                Apple was just the one who marketed and made it noticed by the masses

                Remember with LG's prada and how apple stole the show same thing
                Kenetic scrolling was availiable way before the iphone
                It was in tablets and other touch devices from before

                      Anonymous, 28 Oct 2009Dimwit. That memory full message isn't related to storage.Yeah, I know that's why Symbian is so dated, memory should not be divided up the way it is, it should just be one block.

                      It can cause a lot of problems unless you're a total geek who understands primitive systems.

                        This update sucks... I completed the update with no problem... But now I cant even make a call. I keep getting an error message "NOT ALLOWED". The WIFI will not stay locked even if I am sitting next to the router. I cant believe this phone it sucks... who wants to buy a n97 for $400 U.S. dollars?

It depends on your product code of the phone and whether your service provider has tested the software. Im in the same situation. Just gotta wait it out.

Just one question. We understand that the phone is good but why do you come into these forums and force these facts over and over again. You defend the iphone and take it personally if no someone mentions anything bad about it. Do you work for apple? Why do you spend all your time doing this on all the forums? Lets be adults about this, im asking politely and expect you to answer in the same manner with out insulting or offending anyone.

Many users are having problems after installation but the Hard reset usually does the trick. Make sure you back up important info (Contacts, Messages, bookmarks, ect.) before the hard reset.
                                      I hope this helps you out.
