iPhone Dissected After Death [PICS]

Apple’s iPhone has been a raving success, completely reshaping the smart-phone market overnight. With the recent release of the iPhone 3G S and the iPhone 3.0 software update, Apple hopes to address a few issues that have been irking their normally entrenched customer base.

Which problems you ask? Well, there was the lack of a cut, copy and paste function; the lack of MMS capability; no system-wide search, and a few other issues that have been successfully addressed with the iPhone 3.0 software update.

As for hardware, the iPhone’s notoriously poor battery life has been improved on the new iPhone 3G S and the change is a welcome one. Unfortunately for one user, that change came a few weeks to late.

ProfessionalTravelGuide.com CEO Peter Nicas recently became frustrated after the battery on his iPhone 3G failed during an important call. It wasn’t the first time the phone had died at an inopportune time, but it would be the last.

Peter decided to treat the phone to a little TLC (body-slammed it on his coffee table) and then take it to dinner (went to Taverna Fiorentina in Atlanta, Georgia and dissected the phone on the table) and, like any true gentleman, he even tried to call the next day. Unfortunately, AT&T didn’t provide service in his area. On the bright side, at least we all know what the inside of an iPhone looks like now.
