two things really

firstly it kept freezing up. black screen of death with a mocking little white apple logo in the middle. couldn't turn it off or reboot. nada. take out battery, replace battery = black screen of death. then it would decide to come back on again at a moment of it's choice usually half an hour later. this would regularly happen in the middle of a phone call. obviously i am speaking figuratively as who knows exactly where the midpoint of a phone conversation is if they haven't finished it.

the other thing was sometimes it would say that you had to reinstall itunes and then when you did it would either lock you out and the only way back in would be a complete reset. i guess geeks arne't bothered by this much as they back-up every 5 minutes.

for those reasons. i canned the piece of s**t.
