What do you mean "I jailbroke the phone"? I was just looking at these nice new iPhones and testing out the browser. All I did was surf to a website that my friend told me to checkout. You mean I changed the software on the phone by doing that? How? Is there some type of vulnerability that can allow remote code execution on my phone just by browsing a website? I thought these things were magical...

I have a first gen iPod touch that I bought soon after they came out. The product still works great. The battery life has decreased somewhat. I don't expect it to get iOS4 or its new features. I understand your point about the hardware. However, it would be nice to get a maintenance release of the 3.x OS for that device (not sure what number they were at) that fixed the 30 odd security vulnerabilities that were fixed in iOS4. I haven't explicitly checked for an update, but I haven't seen any news about it either.

Has Clearwire started encrypting the wireless information yet, or is it still counting on security through obscurity? I had inquired about the encryption used by the service and got the run around with the eventual "that is proprietary information". Needless to say, I did not sign up.

How did you insure your iPhone against loss? I am curious as I ended up with a SquareTrade third party warranty that covers damage including water damage. I would still be SOL if I lost my iPhone.

But the real question is "Did you lose any data"??? I am getting better about letting the confusion of "lose" vs. "loose" slide. When I see it three times in a single post, I had to say something.

Since all the backup data in encrypted, then what's the problem?

I can't believe how far I had to scroll down the comments before someone realizing that.

Actually, the problem is that is not serving them at all at the moment...

I think the point is that once this happens that you cannot fix it by reflashing the BIOS.
