I just have to keep remembering this is the early days of the iPhone and I suppose it is similar to the early days of the Pocket PC when stability was also an issue. I did cut Microsoft and Nokia a break back then when they were starting out and I’ll keep using my original iPhone...
If I only had a nickel for every news article that would be dramatically improved if the last paragraph -- the one where the author apologizes for the linkbait headline -- were moved to the top.
Windows Mobile is somewhere between 5 and 8 years old. The release version of the iPhone OS is all of one year old and version 2.0 is only a month old. If you don't want to be burned like an early adopter, don't be an early adopter.
Incidentally, the rate at which MobileSafari crashes dropped a lot, for me, when I installed iPhone OS 2.0.1. This article doesn't say whether or not the author has done the same. And I agree that 3G and GPS may not be worth the additional monthly fees and the reduced battery life... which is why I bought a 2G iPhone on eBay.
I think I have seen a lot less safari crashes. However, iphone apps seem to crash my phone a lot, and in particular, the app store crashes my phone about half the time I try to use it.
Agreed. 2.0.1 fixed a lot of things that were bugging me. I'm still not entirely satisfied with some things - it's a bit slower than I'd like, particularly when loading up music - but at least Apple's given me reason to believe that things will get better.
