Apple Update just 'bricked' my iPhone

[Pondlife]

Yay!

Now having to restore factory settings after an update failed. Clearly the "restore" is a load of old tosh if you have to reset back to factory settings and lose everything on it!

Cheers Apple, Merry Christmas.

Anyone else had this? Or should I feel special.

Was it unlocked? Updates usually break unlocked systems, as unlocking involves making a number of unsupported changes to the OS.

Otherwise, there's nothing so far on Techmeme, Technorati, Slashdot, or Digg

Nope. It was/is/will be on O2.

I'll see what it can get back.

Seems they are on a roll

So far, not tempted by the iPhone. Never been interested in these do-everything (poorly) phones.

My company provided me with an iPhone 3G as the Co Mobile. Seems alright to me, and it hasn't "bricked" yet. Only got it on Friday and yes it is up-to-date.

Going to back mine up before applying any updates now

Nah, i cracked and got a 3G and love it. It does everything very well IMO. Web browser is particularly well implemented. Just updated mine and it didnt break either.

How do you find the battery life?
Fully charged this morning, sent a couple of emails and 1/2 surffing this morning and battery only half full now!
Not sure if it will last listening to an hour of iPod this afternoon and till i get back to home office!!!!

mine is soldiering on quite well at the moment but I've stopped playing with it so much now.

I find the battery gets to about half full if I send/receive a lot of mail, and listen to music for about an hour during a day.
