It's probably a minor bug, as some users seems able, by simply switching the iPhone off, waiting a few minutes, then randomly pressing the home and top buttons, to allow the iPhone to complete it's boot sequence. According to my very limited research on the topic, it may be related to running New York Times application in combination with iTunes syncing, but I'm still not 100% sure. Unfortunately I have no more time to waste to do Apple's job. The real problem is that the iPhone is stuck in its boot sequence before launching the service that allow it to communicate with iTunes. As it can't communicate with iTunes anymore the only solution, apart the random monkey keypress, is a full restore by putting the iPhone in DFU mode. A real time waste. @ Ken : this bug does not “destroy the Operating System” but for some reason a bug it blocks the progression of the boot sequence.

Remember I run a company which produce software bugs as well. Apple softwares usually contains less of those pesky bugs. My article is not to complain about the bug, but about Apple complete lack of communication with its customers. Thanks for the generous offer but I couldn't downgrade to Windows Mobile anymore because when the iPhone does actually works (between weekly restore) it's a joy to use while Windows Mobile is a constant pain. BTW I still have a (Windows Mobile 5.0) Samsung Blackjack to give away ;-) @ Michael :

After a complete backup and restore, the iPhone was extremely unstable and it suffered the stuck Apple logo again. So on the third restore, I took it back to the default state with just a couple of the third-party applications. It's running reliably again now. I think something gets corrupted, which then gets into the backup making the restore process problemmatic. I wish Apple would make the backups more like Time Machine, so that there is a choice of how far back to go when restoring. The same thing happened to me this morning!
