Sounds like you're being sarcasting and actually talking about the iPhone. Not sure if I should find you funny or just think you're being a hypocrite.

It crashes springboard every time a PUSH message arrives. Had to uninstall. The idea is great. I need to see my calendar entries on the lockscreen.
