Has anyone heard anything definitive?

Question

It's been a week since the OS4 update now, and my 3G is pretty unusable. I've lost all my data and my phone won't restore or sync, so I have no contacts, no email, no messages and empty apps. My phone is behaving weirdly too, I keep getting texts through in a block rather than when they are sent.
I've been waiting patiently for a solution to be posted, or a new update that will help everyone that seems to be affected.
I'm really fed up with it now. Just wondering if anyone has heard whether or not they are actually doing something about this problem.
If I've lost my data, I can live with that, but my phone was fantastic a week ago and now it's useless. That's awful and I can't seem to get in contact with Apple (I'm in the UK) without paying for it.
Thanks for anyone's help.

Answer 1

Apple has a history of just letting things like this blow away in the wind....
a) Remember their Bluetooth headset for the iPhone? I went through 8!! of them through Applecare until I got one that worked...a few months later they were poof gone from their stores with no notice, apology, acknowledgement that they were no good.....
b) Remember the yellow screens al ot of people had on their iMacs? Nothing was done for a majority of them and the problem still exists (for my brother and father at least who were turned away by Apple three times) and the problem was swept under the rug......
c) Remember when the Time Capsule was coming out and they advertised that you could backup to AirPort drives, then the feature mysteriously went away a few days before product launch.
d) MORE RECENTLY: how about Steve Jobs stating "not all features" were going to be available for the 3G? He never mentioned that it would bog down most 3G iPhones and make them relatively unusable. And people please, please don't comment about how your 3GS is working just great, we're talking about the 3G here.
e) oh, MORE recently: how about iPhone 4 handsets that lose reception when you hold them. At least Apple UNOFFICIALLY commented by stating that you're holding it the wrong way. STILL no official announcement, because they expect this to just go away like everything else.
I would suspect that the 3G debacle will just be thrown under the rug like others in the past....don't expect an apology from Apple....oh, and EXPECT all the fanboys out there to say stuff like, "you did it at your own risk" or some such nonsense.
Do yourself a favor and google about how to rollback the operating system to 3.1.3. . . there's a few posts in here that have the information. You won't be jailbreaking your phone. You'll be glad you did it. I did and the phone is blazing fast the way it was when I bought it 2 years ago (Oh yeah fanboys, guess it's obsolete now? )
**oops....see above about lifehacker**
Let's see how long it is before this post gets deleted.......
