É que o meu iPhone começou a crashar quando fiz o update para o 3.1... E, mesmo não sendo o único, já se passou 1 semana e não vejo solução por parte da Apple. Hoje lá segui estas dicas para voltar ao 3.0.1: http://www.redmondpie.com/downgrade-iphone-3.1-to-3.0.1/ Não consegui seguir o tutorial todo MAS, no final, acabei com o iPhone (embora formatado) com o firmware 3.0.1! Os contactos foram repostos pelo iTunes mas as apps, configurações de email e tudo o resto foi-se... Bem, lá vou voltar à resincronização :o) Experimenta voltar ao 3.0.1!

Suddenly, things change, and there's not much you can do about it, other than going illegal, or not upgrading. However, even with free software, i'm starting to have the same feeling. Things change too, and even though you usually have alternatives and sometimes can do more things about it, some of the changes also mean not upgrading, so I know this is an "Apple issue" by itself, but a general issue with computers and similar kinds of devices. What we need right now is that companies (and while we're at it, free software projects) start listening more to their users and try harder not to break the already existing experience and ways of doing things. Some say legacy support is one of the main problems of Windows and other MS products, but that's probably also the reason why they still have a good majority of the user base: even when they change things, people can still maintain their usual experience and ways of doing things. Change is good and always welcome, but nobody likes to have it forced down on you. The experience you describe here is one of the reasons why I have stayed mostly clear of Apple products so far.
