    Apple broken? In the UK, take it to the Apple Store, or even PC World. Often wherever you bought it from.

    Same place the Firefox phones were. Not even ready for tinkers let alone prime time release. Spend much more time there and the world will have moved on by the time they get themselves sorted out.
