Chris did a great job in this interview, it's long but a good read. Interesting takes on social media from a TV personality perspective. Bravo!

I started looking through these lists and found myself rabbit trailing all over the place. Great resources, proceed only when you have time on your hands!

iPhone 3G will not restore - "The iPhone cannot be used with iTunes because the information required for activation could not be obtained from the iPhone. Check that the SIM card is inserted in your iPhone and that it is not PIN-locked." I did, and I even went to AT&T to replace the SIM. Fucked!!!
iphone 1.0 here still. glad i didn't upgrade :)

Apple needs to just put up its own towers and have the iPhone on its own network. Its like putting 3rd party ram in a Mac, its nothing but problems :P
- Scott
That SUCKS. So far, my 3G has been working fine. :D

Unlucky man, as Justin pointed out, it may be worth going into an Apple store and see what they say.

Have you tried DFU mode? I had this happen to me and it was guessed to be a bad sector on the flash drive. Apple will replace it... they did for me.

I've had nothing but problems with the iPhone 3G. Fail!

I was considering getting a new iPhone but after this and all the other fiascos...maybe I'll hold out for the new touchscreen BlackBerry.

You've just been the worst case iphone scenario Chris from the beginning.. hope it gets straightened out!

Did you do anything *other* than install and remove 3rd party apps on the thing the entire time you've owned it? From what I've witnessed you downloaded and installed every app in the store. Your usage certainly isn't typical. And you really shouldn't be dealing with the AT&T store for an Apple hardware product. For one, the service at Apple is 1000 times better.

Daamn... Hearing this just makes me NOT want to buy the iPhone any more. It's like the cursed phone. I think you have an isolated problem Chris, because I haven't head of this anywhere else.

You may want to try Leo's fix. Format, start from scratch and then only install Apps from iTunes. Just a suggestion. It worked for most of my friends at school when I told them.
- Zane
One of the things I would do is delete every app you have on the phone (other than what it came with of course) and start over again from scratch. Go little at a time reintroducing the apps to your phone, until you get to the ones that may be causing trouble. As someone else pointed out, you've been downloading and trying out alot of apps. Many of them have proved buggy. Maybe just start over again and don't put apps back for awhile.

force restore, done by holding home button while connecting the USB end of chord to computer. Before doing this make sure your phone is completely off ( press and hold sleep/wake button until you see "slide to power off") You should be prompted "iTunes has detected nameofiPhone in recovery mode and needs to restore" click ok then restore

Interesting if you are thinking about running ads on your blog. Here is Chris Brogan, a guy with 9,000 subscribers, and his best haul for ads in a single day is under $3.00. Think twice before you turn your blog into your hopes and dreams for retirement...
