iPhone dumped all of my contacts

Steve Jobs is old news, it is all about Tim Cook's cock these days....



I have had every iPhone since the first gen and they all have been the most solid phones I have ever owned. Everyone I know that has an Android like the OS but hate the piece of shit it is running on.....

It must be those dang samsung chips, what retards would use those pieces of junk!?

I find it funny you say it is a better all around phone in a thread that is about an iphone crapping out.

use google contacts in the future and you will never have to worry about your contacts on your computer or your phone. you live right next to me, i'll show you how if you want.

i cant access it from work so i cant post a link.
basically you just have to reconfigure your email/calendar/contacts settings using IMAP instead of the built in gmail connectivity.

It's a "undocumented feature". Apple's software testing is beyond shit. If I, or anybody that works for me wrote and published software as poorly functional as I(car)tunes, we would be laughed out of a job.

I like much of the iPhone and it's functionality, but iTunes and a few other pieces of code on here are total untested crap.

Win95 > itunes

correct. itunes truly is a POS. it is the worst part of owning an apple anything.

iphone, iOS is pretty good and solid.

i prefer iOS to android 2.poo and 3.tree at this current point in time.

I own both Apple (iPhone 4) and Android (Nook Color running CM7) and overall i pefer the ease of use of the iOS, but the custimization of the Android platform.

At the end of the day I end up using my iPhone more than I do my Nook, just because of convenience.

Next time may i suggest setting your email account, i.e. gmail, to sync calander, contacts, and email.

I've had the same contacts in my phone for well over 11 years, and never lost one of them, unless I deleted it. Started syncing with Exchange, but now I just sync with gmail. As for the iphone/android debate, I'm now on a EVO, and I love the phone, i couldn't se going back to an iphone at this point.
