iPhone iOS4 passcode lock workaround if you can't run iPhone config utility

In iOS 4 and 4.0.1, if you perform a "reset all settings" on your phone it can sometimes cause you to lose all your options in the "passcode lock" section of the phone settings, only leaving you with the "immediately" option. This can be annoying as you will then have to enter your passcode immediately when your phone locks for any reason. I usually like mine set to a 15 minute delay so that I can use my phone frequently without typing in the passcode, but it still locks after a while. This is a known bug, and should be fixed soon in an upcoming iOS version. Until then there are two workarounds.

IPhone 4 works just fine as a phone

I have no antenna problems with my iPhone 4.  It works just fine, even as a phone.  So does my wife's.  The media frenzy seems like they just had to find *something* because Apple is selling every iPhone 4 they can make.  My evidence is anecdotal at best, but the several people I know with iPhone 4 are very happy with them.

Apple says I can't do this!

Look, I am using Apple's MMS on my iPhone 2G! And posting to Blogger via MMS. Using the 1st generation iPhone (2G) I bought almost two years ago, runnng iPhone OS 3.0. Apple claims the 1st gen iPhone (2G) has a hardware limitation that prevents MMS. Except, uhm, it doesn't. Google "ActivateMMS2G" if you are interested.Look, I am using Apple's MMS on my iPhone 2G!
