Re: Re: Anyone tried to upgrade to iOS4 yet?

[Phillip Harris <phil@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I dropped my bloody iPhone today ... smashed the screen but amazingly the
touchscreen still works even though bits of the cover glass are dropping
out each time you touch it. Thankfully I never got round to cancelling the
insurance on it (this is the first phone I've ever broken) so I've just got
to be without it for 12 days while they repair it (or replace it)...

Unfortunately I "upgraded" my spare O2 iPhone to OS4 and they
haven't released an unlock app for that yet so I can't use that on my
T-Mobile SIM so I'm back to my trusty old Nokia 6310i ... :-(

upgrade did only take a few mins - probably about 15 mins I guess. But only
after some drastic action following read up on the interweb of similar
issues. Seemingly there are some apps (unidentified) which have a
propensity to get corrupt (or data associated with them) which leads to
ludicrously long backups. So before I could upgrade, I deleted pretty much
everything from the iPhone....

has no indication of progress whatsoever - the progress bar is just grey.

Unusual that, but it is supposed to be a phone. Anyhow, since that phone
call, the iPhone itself is no longer showing the 'Sync In Progress' screen.

interrupt the backup? Who knows!! Neither iTunes nor the iPhone itself seem
