The iphone has the odd distinction of having been a lot closer to perfection when it was launched than it is now. anyway, none of the iphone bugs were due to such blatent stupidity!!

Yes it does, Elliott our developer at Carsonified insisted on seeing if he could get mine to do it yesterday and succeeded. If you start typing straight from the home screen it will do it. Currently it is open to an Android shell commands such as telnetd which allowed Elliott to make a call via remote access from the command line of his macbook. I will be updating my G1 to see if it shuts him out.

It does on mine! What firmware version are you on? AFAIK there isn't a fixed UK firmware yet...

Try doing a cold boot on the phone and making sure you hit return both before and after typing reboot.

A simple fix is to type "cat" (again surrounded by returns) to send all the user input to a less harmful location than /bin/sh ;)

It doesn't do it on the stock UK version!
