Hi Stephen,
as Peter said I too have had my iPhone for about the same period of
time with no problems what-so-ever. (Oh I tell a lie, I did have the
headphones replaced under warranty and I did have had to restore from
backup the phone once but it was so easy and flawless I almost forgot
about that one - I think it was after a software update)
The OS is robust and typical of the Apple product it always works.
Apple is a big company and an easy target and subject to the 'tall
poppy syndrome', if there were major flaws in its products it would be
shot down in flames. There has been few complaints on the net
regarding the build quality of the product. About the worse I have
heard about was some people complaining about light leaking through
the joints along the sides.
To answer you last question - yes I think you have been unlucky. Hope
you resolve your issues.
Regards,
Eugene

Hi folks,
I am interested to know if anyone else has had iPhone problems ?
I got my iPhone 3G early January.
In early April I could not hear anything when receiving or making
calls.
Took it to Telstra shop, they submitted for repairs and it was
replaced with a new one.
2 weeks ago the new one started playing up.
Sometimes the touch screen simply did not respond.
Most of the time the screen went blank as I received a call or as I
made a call.
Consequently I could not use hands free or even hang up after the
call.
Each time I had to turn off the phone and restart.
Took it back to Telstra shop and they sent it in for repairs.
Got it back last Thursday and by Saturday it was doing the same
again.
I will take it back once again tomorrow.
I am getting pretty fed up with it.
They tell me at the Telstra shop that this is very unusual.
Almost all the iPhones they get back have been dropped or damaged
in some way.
Very rarely do they present wth faults.
Am I just very unlucky or do they fault more than I am being told ?
I wish I could offer help here but I can't, except to offer
reassurance by way of the fact that I have had my iPhone (with
Optus) since July last year. It has worked flawlessly since Day 1.
