    Wonderful gadget the iphone. A parent's child got a hold of hers put a passcode on it somehow. Locked her out completely.
    To fix the problem you have to do a factory settings reset. Not that you'll find out how to do that on the Apple website.

    You need to plug it into a computer in "iphone recovery mode" and let itunes download the iphone operating system.

    4 times I tried it last night and 4 times it crashed.
    Apple's one and only way of fixing the problem.
    I think it was packed up and sent back to Apple today.

    I'll not be rushing to buy one.

    It rather defeats the purpose of a lock if you can easily disable it, wouldn't you say?

    Destroying an iPhone can take a lot of effort.

    Looks pretty easy to me!

    It's my problem, it's my problem
    If I feel the need to hide
    And it's my problem if I have no friends
    And feel I want to die

    There's some great videos on the "will it blend" website. There isn't much their blenders won't destroy. Glowsticks was a nice one from memory.

    Haha, Nice one!

    In all fairness, I could crack my beautiful HTC's screen at any point, but hopefully the Aeroplane-Grade aluminium case it's in should protect it for a little bit. :)
