And I though "I'll read some Hacker News while my phone is upgrading..." Good thing I was able to stop the upgrade (just at the backing up stage). It is worth noting that I've been having voicemail problems and receiving calls problem with 3.0.1 for the past week. I was upgrading in hopes that it would fix some of these issues!
I have a related question. Do you guys think it is a good time to invest in real estate. I live in Southern CA, so property is pretty expensive as it is. Right now, I'm looking at places for approx. $300k that were approx. $500k two years ago. Given that fact that interest rates are not bad either (5.5-7%), it does not seem like a bad time (given that I will have no problems making the payments). This would be my first home purchase, so I'm pretty new at this stuff.
