Default iphone 4s help.........please.

Well I thought I would go to the dark side and see what all this iPhone hype is all about. Unfortunately I'm having to type this on my trusty old faithful HTC Desire because for some reason the iPhone just doesn't seem to want to play nicely.

So its a new IPhone 4s.
Its ok just looking through threads.
If I attempt to reply to a thread, after about 20secs it just closes to the iPhone home page.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Edit to add: this is at home using WiFi.

Try double clicking the main button to open up your active apps, then you should see safari, press and hold it so if shakes and has a red x to close it

This should reset safari that might solve it

How do I do that Jack?

I'm still getting this problem.
I've tried it on both WiFi and 3g and it does it on both.
There does appear to be a few threads on an av forum where iPhone users are experiencing the same issue and they're suggesting its something to do with that particular forum. It does do it on Skylineowners forum as well for me.

Any other thought please?

Posting this from the quick reply to see if that's any better.

Edit: that seems to have worked ok!

Why's that then?

Have a think. Scoobynet has maybe 200 active user of those maybe 20 see this problem, it's not enough for Scoobynet to even acknowledge. The iPhone has hundreds of millions of user and maybe 40 that see this problem. If Scoobynet can't be arsed I doubt Apple will.
