Technically, yes, but not crash like a PC, it just sends you back to your home screen.
no, I mean the bug where the music just stops playing. Then u open the iPod function to restart, but the device has lost its place in the album or podcast u were listening to. So while im surfing i have to check the ipod every few minutes so that the next time it crashes (and it will) i will have a rough idea of where to go back to.
The one where the browser crashes and sends u back to the home screen is different.
Then there's the one where the spell checker just arbitrarily stops working for a while.
Or the one where u reboot the phone cause sometimes that helps calm down the iPod crashes and when u start it back up the volume is completely different (although the slider bar indicator says its the same).
Yeah, its a lil buggy. U need to do your homework if your going to buy one and not be surprised by this stuff.
If u haven't gotten your iPhone yet and u didn't read about this and other bugs then u haven't done your homework. Enjoy.
Your hardly making sense right now - my experience with ranting is that it didn't work for me - like when I thought you couldn't but iTunes with the rebate - big rant - didn't make me feel any better. You said yourself Apple makes fine products that are way ahead of the competition - there is a cost to that, and it sounds like your willing to pay it. Be cool lil brother - I feel ya.
