It’s about Apple “bricking” iPhones that have been modified.

There are some problems for Apple:

• This is clearly deliberately malicious code.
• They have bricked some unmodified iPhones as a result.
• They have worked as a corporation to do this, which means that they are likely covered by the RICO statutes.

That being said, I don’t want an iPhone. I want a phone that works first as a phone, these hard to talk on square bricks as PDAs don’t cut it for me.

If I want a PDA phone (maybe when it gets cheap enough on EBay), I’ll get something like the Samsung SPH-I500.

It’s marginally larger than any clamshell phone, and it has a Graffiti™ pad right above the real phone buttons.

It’s not in production any more.
