Apple and their iPhone CONTINUE to keep owners from doing what they want with their own property...

I'm a self-employed IT Engineer and I have 55 Lawfirms (among other industries) and several have iPhones. I was a 1 client's yesterday that said he was on his 5th iPhone since December (they brick for no reason) and 1 was on her 3rd since February and her husband was on his 2nd since June! That's just in ONE office!

I went to another client's office and the receptionist just got one and was so happy! She was showing it off (as if I've never seen one!) and then she set it down and it never worked again! I felt bad for her, but it was kinda funny though.

I don't WANT a phone I can't count on. First and foremost, it's a PHONE! However, when this thing "Bricks", the whole thing is toast! It's like a ticking time bomb.

When I see someone with an iPhone, I hold it to my ear and tell the owner, "I hear it ticking. Could be today, could be tomorrow, could've already bricked..."

My friends asked my the same question why I don't get an iPhone.

#1. Awesome keyboard,, they went Oooohh AAhhhhh
#2. I pay less than $30 a month on Sprint SERO and get twice the service coverage and minutes they do for less than half the cost.
#3. I can Tether to my Laptop at 3G Rev A speeds
#4. I have HD Tivo and SlingBox streaming to my phone
#5. I paid exactly $0.00 for my Touch Pro 2 nothing!!

No more jailbreaking with Apple's new boot rom according to BGR?
