I bought an IPhone 1 week ago. Believe me, it is the coolest thing I have ever seen! How can you not love the easy apple interface and all the features under one unit. Thought all this great electronic genius, I had problems with my phone as well.
I woke up one morning to find that my phone was just continually vibrating after the last call woke me up. I attempted to turn off the vibrating phone by pressing the screen, which was unresponsive. I then tried to push the middle button which did not good. I then attempted to power down the unit, which was still unsuccessful! I was pissed. I just paid $499 for this thing 1 week ago. I then took it and put it on the power dock. It was still locked. The phone also was very warm, and was not responding while the power was getting low.

I came back a few minutes later and plugged the dock into the computer. After 1 hour, I was able to get it to start working again. I was able to call a few people, but got the error "the Edge network is unavailable." And when I tried to use the internet or Wi-Fi, or use mail, it said "Serve not found." I brought it back to the AT&T store and it began to work again. They told me to monitor it, or I could bring it to the Apple store for them to either send it away of issue me another unit. I just bought it 1 week ago from AT7T, so I did not understand why I would go there and risk having them send it out, or make me pay more money, and/or loss a working phone which I needed. I then brought it to a Wi-Fi hotspot, and it worked again. I used it for a while, and then the internet stooped working and I got the same messages again. I brought it home, and read this site.
I then brought it back to the AT7T store. It again worked, which was mention in another post. I asked them to give me another unit, and then told me to go and bring it to the Apple store. I returned the entire phone, and had them activate my old phone. My former contract was expired, so I made sure that the new 2 year contract was made null, so I can buy another IPhone again, and not have to wait 2 more years!

Good Luck with the above information, I hope it helps someone!

My iPhone crashed yesterday while trying to add the update. I lost EVERYTHING, including over 2,000 songs, all of my pictures, apps, everything! Here's what I think happened so it doesn't happen to anyone else.

I was syncing it to iTunes, clicked on updates, and then it said I needed the latest version of iTunes. Instead of unplugging my phone and updating iTunes first, I left it plugged in (DUH ME!). That's when it crashed. Beware!! Do any iTunes first before plugging in your iPhone!

you should have been able to restore from a backup once you installed the new firmware given you backed your phone up before you attempted to update it.

It only gave me the choice if restoring the factory settings. I have had my iPhone a year and had a LOT of stuff on it. It took me HOURS to put the stuff I had back on it. I still have over 2,000 songs to put back on it.

it should have given you a choice to restore as a new phone and then restore from a back up. thats strange.
