More woes with my iPhone supplied by Halebop who now have handed fault finding over to Telia who blame Apple for sending out faulty goods and not checking them beforehand...

Last week, to my dismay, a pre-paid envelope - yes, envelope - arrived for me to post my iPhone back to Telia/Halebop/Apple (whoever takes ownership - I don't give a shit, I just want a working phone...). As I needed the phone over the weekend I planned to take it back to the Telia store today by hand and have them take care of the posting - if necessary - so that I couldn't be blamed for any sort of fault arising from it being bundled about in postage sacks. However, just before I was going to head to town, I thought I'd un-sync all the contact details from the device so I attached it to Lucifer to have iTunes to the business.

When I first got the phone, I had a problem after a couple of days that when I attempted a sync all the data appeared as OTHER on the summary page of iTunes, and I had to restore the phone to factory settings to get it working again. I've only attached the phone to the computer a couple of times since, just to sync up some new tunes and not had a problem - but on Saturday, yesterday and twice today the same thing happened. So this means that the phone is well and truly buggered. Awesome stuff for a brand new phone, don'cha ya think??
So I'm sitting at the computer waiting for the phone to sync again, then I'll try and un-sync it and with a bit of luck it'll all be finished before the store shuts ...
