I've had my phone for over a year and I never knew what it meant to sync the phone until I read the article and discussion today.

I've rarely even turned on my computer at home since I got the phone; consequently, 99% of my browsing is done on a mobile device.

someone in our shared office never connected her iPhone 3GS with her computer. She was still running 3.2.1 until I helped her to upgrade to 4.3.3.

Yeah I can back that one up - 3 out of 4 of my iPhone using friends don't understand that the phone has a OS that needs to be updated and don't remember having attached the phone to a computer with iTunes.

3.2.x was never released for iPhone. It was an iPad-only release. That said, I get what you're saying.

Probably meant 3.1.2, which is what I'm still running on my 3G, because the jump up to 4.0 was so painfully slow.
