But stability is supposed to be iPhone's strong suit?
Hmm, guess not! A big "I told you so" to all those who made fun of WM's theoretical lack of stability (even though mine have all worked flawlessly).

If you don?t have an Apple account you have to create one, entering your credit card on the off chance that you may want to use a non-free application.

What? You have to give Apple your credit card to download free apps just in case, one day, you may end up buying one? Wow. Just... wow. Talk about a major privacy no-no. With WM, I can go to a developer's site and download free apps without giving anyone my credit card!

It sounds like if you value stability and privacy, the iPhone is not for you!
