At least some of those, who have purchased the Apple iPhone device now complain about the dead-zones on their screens, something, which crucially affects their functionality.
Apparently, certain parts of Apple iPhone’s screens’ lose their sensitivity over time, which means that the whole device becomes virtually malfunction. Theoretically, this should not be considered as a problem, as there are similar devices, personal digital assistants or smartphones, which use touch-screens without any issues.
"The bottom of my screen lost sensitivity after only about 20 days of use. First the very bottom of the screen went out so I could not hit the space-bar on the keyboard, or change to the number/character screen. Then it got worse a few days later, now I cannot hit any of the main function button,” a user is reported to have said in Apple’s support forums.
Apple, according to the reports, exchanges the faulty parts with no questions asked. On the other hand, Apple is known for the devices that have no problems.
Apple iPhone is equipped with touch-screen instead of keypad, something never before available on handhelds. Besides, Apple iPhone includes support for quad-band GSM, EDGE, 802.11b/g Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 2.0 EDR wireless technologies. The iPhone features a 2 megapixel (2MP) camera and a photo management application. The iPhone, however, is not small: it features a 3.5” screen that makes the device a relatively bulky. Nevertheless, since the phone is pretty slim, it should be comfortable to use. Apple iPhone us available in 4GB and 8GB versions that cost $499 and $599, respectively.

Not suprising, as can be inferred from the iPod Nano edition 1's easily runied screens...
For such an expensive product, they should of refined it a little more to meet their standards. I don't believe what they released is the best they can do.

Indeed. The article is in serious need of major editing.

Apple is such an overrated company. I'd never buy anything Apple. And the iPhone is overpriced, that's for sure...

Bought my wife an Ipod because its the mp3 player everybody wanted. After a week, the pink colour on it began to peel off and the software was god awful.
She now uses my old Pocket Pc with a 4Gig SD card to play her music, and music videos! :) something her ipod could not do.

Orealy, then why do they make sh!tty products that are not innovative and break easier than a toothpick?
1) Spotlight is not something Apple invented, sh!t, they stole it from Konfabulator.
2) OS X does crash, or else the Mac Forums would be empty
3) OS X looks like @$$, and feels like it too.

So is there only one way to do something? Like you have to press the button for whatever function to launch it?
What I mean is, my LG phone, you can either press a number that corresponds to one of the choices on the screen, or you can use the cursor control and press OK to do the same thing.
Yes, Steve Jobs. Hard buttons are soooo evil. Nobody is ever in a situation when they need to feel their device to control it and not can't look down at the screen, right?

Had this problem happen to me, and took my iPhone to the nearest Apple store where they replaced it, free of charge. I synced the replacement up with iTunes and everything I had on the phone was restored, good as new. I love the phone and Apple's customer support is the best.
