Blame it on the "iGods" if you want, but your ridiculous all-caps whinging is what earned this a down-vote from me.

Did your device get bricked? That sucks, it's never fun. Did you take it in to get it unbricked? Everyone I know that's had hardware trouble like that has had their phone either fixed or, surprisingly, replaced. If the OS is designed to run on your phone and it doesn't, that's a defect, and you're entitled to a fix.
