Perhaps.
My main problem is that generally this list is quite open about alternative
technologies to solving a particular problem, even though it's officially an nt
system administrators list. Many of us here are working with varied and mixed
environments, some by choice and some by fiat or inheritence.
I have trouble when that same open attitude can't be extended to Apple. Does
Apple have control issues? Sure, but then so does Microsoft. So does IBM, HP,
Dell, any vendor wants to exercise as much control over their product as
possible. Apple just happens to be a bit more successful in exercising that
control to fulfill their vision. If you happen to disagree with that vision,
that's fine, too, but my feeling is that this list generally doesn't discount
any company regardless of their vision if they're capable of providing the
right tool for a given application. I try and use the best tool for the job.
To wit, I bought a Macbook Pro as my last notebook, because I wanted to play
some games on it, and I wanted to do some video editing work with video's we've
collected of our daughter since she was born. I spec'ed out similar systems
from HP, Dell, and Apple (obviously). All were about comparable in price for
what I wanted to do, but the Apple won because it had great easy to use video
editing software and, I could run Windows in Bootcamp. I run Bootcamp 75% of
the time, and a lot of the time I'm on the OS X side, I'm running my Bootcamp
partition through Fusion.

Sheesh, take a sedative. I was just trying to state it worked out of the
box without excessive configuration and without installing anything. Way to
over-read into things.

Silly tools?

Sheesh, cut the hyperbole. Perhaps there's a good application where the
iPhone fits and another model cellphone wouldn't.
My iPhone just works, too. I don't make a big deal about it until someone
has to needlessly comment that it's a toy or it doesn't work. Is it perfect,
of course not, but I'd venture to say that there is no perfect device, just a
best fit. For many people that will be an iPhone. Some people will want it to
be a best fit, and fewer still will recognize that it can't be a best fit for
their needs. I'm really glad you have a phone that perfectly fits your usage
needs. Is there any reason to condescend to someone who has also found one
that meets their needs, but it just happens to be different?

Funny – I got my iPod touch set up to sync with my Exchange server and get
e-mail, calendar and contacts pretty quickly. Took almost twice as long to get
a Blackberry Curve to ONLY get e-mail. J

It took about 30 minutes for me. I've never interrupted an Apple update to
the iPhone, but once did while jailbreaking my original iPhone (fortunately it
wasn't bricked). If it's still going in another 20-30 minutes, I'd definitely
give Apple a call (supposedly their phone support is good).
Incidentally, do you know what the original firmware that was installed?
2.0? 2.0.1? 2.0.2?

I connected it and opened iTunes and activated. Then it said an update was
available and I hesitantly allowed the update. Now I am nervous that I should
have just left it alone.
1 hour 20 mins now….. still on "restoring iPhone software

It's Apple. As soon as Steve Jobs receives confirmation that your soul is
in this secure storage lot, then it will finish. Not before then.

I just bought my son an iphone. Before giving it to him I am running the
2.1 update.
So just how long does this update take? There is no music or apps on the
iPhone yet. Going on 1 hour now…..
Thanks.
