My son did this and the phone died last night. He's taking it into Best Buy in the morning. He'll have to buy a replaceent for while they fix it, maybe a 4s. Has a service contract. Same thing when he updated to IOS 4. They fixed it free then too. He thinks it's the cable to his computer. Says IOS 6 update will be wireless so the cable won't matter.
I'm considering getting one just for the good camera on it. we'll see. Probably when I'm in oregon so I can skip out on sales tax. :MARIS61:
I think it's similar to Mac vs pc. For the same or even less money, the pc has superior hardware specs. But the Mac has very good specs and the Mac software is amazingly great. PC software not so great. Everything I download (mostly free) for my iPhone works great. My boss has an android and says the software is crap. I have a very fast laptop I dual boot windows and Ubuntu linux. For the technical work I do, it screams. My MacBook pro is far more portable, far more elegant in design, the user interface and experience is light years better, and it's plenty fast enough.
some info on the new features in ios 5. http://howto.cnet.com/8301-11310_39-20120764-285/the-complete-guide-to-ios-5/?tag=mncol;2n
Double tapping the home button to get to the camera quicker will come in handy. You can then use the volume up button to take a pic.
Since my update, I enter in my username and password EXACTLY like I do on my MacBook and it says they are invalid. Tried 50 times! HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!
