Scare story from Big Brother Apple?
Published by Steve Litchfield at 11:19 GMT, January 10th 2008
The next time you think Symbian Signed is a major problem on your otherwise wide-open smartphone, consider the world of Apple's iPhone. This scare story tells how even one unauthorised ringtone was enough for Apple to refuse honouring the device's warranty. Gulp. Hey, Apple, remember that famous Big Brother video you wanted to smash up? Careful you don't turn into the same character...

This is as bad as sony, who waved away the warenty on there PS3 because it had 'Dust' on it.

There's a reason why people hate Steve Jobs, this is it.
But I'm sure there's something more to this story than meets the eye. I know one guy who killed his s60 while upgrading firmware via phoenix, he simply went to Nokia Care and told them the phone died while downloading wallpapers via data cable. Got that sorted easily. :D

I am surprised that more people haven't noticed that Apple turned into a cororate ogre long ago.

that ps3 didn't have dust on it. It had a layer of dust so thick it couldn't be removed from it! what's more, the guy who 'reported' the problem and was interviewed on a news channel was later revealed to be an actor, and made a number of comments, such as 'wiggled the eject button' which showed he had never used one. Should look carefully, this story may just be FUD as well.
Guess Who
Steve Jobs is a sneaky scumbag, and Maczealots are like Jehovah's Witnesses.
