The new sony ericsson P1i looks good and syncs with mac. im liking that! so im gonna bail on the iphone when its launched here in the uk.

I was tempted to get one too - that is until the 1.1.1 firmware upgrade. Isn't it enough that I was willing to buy a phone, change carriers, settling for a slower internet and pay the $175 penalty for the privilege of switching!!! WHY SHOULDN'T I BE ABLE TO ADD WHATEVER APPS I WANT? I want to be able to play games, check flights, check news sites, etc. Imagine if someone told me I could not use 3rd party apps on my Mac laptop or desktop! My Blackberry 8830 does everything I need and more! (it even PUSHES mail!) Ours is an all Apple family - 6 MACs and 10 iPods. For now, though, we will have only 1 iPhone. No more. Shame on you Apple.

Anyhow, bluesnarfing + iphone shellcode via metasploit are compelling reasons to update for me. It's a high profile target because it's publicly known the volume of people that are refusing to upgrade. In fact one unlocking app mentioned 500,000 downloads. This is a little more compelling than just simple security paranoia from some would-be cookie stealing XSS vulnerability. <a href="http://www.infoworld.com/article/07/09/28/iPhones-Bluetooth-bug-under-the-hacker-microscope_1.html" rel="nofollow">Bluetooth bug under the hacker microscope</a> <a href="http://www.infoworld.com/article/07/09/26/New-tools-help-hack-into-iPhone_1.html" rel="nofollow">iPhone shellcode</a> Bah comment didn’t make it through.
