When I use Yahoo maps my iPhone 3G with the 2.2 firmware locks up. Im going to yahoo.com and logging into user account, choosing Maps, then tapping on the top address pulldown. Safari stops responding and the Home button wont respond. I must power down with the lock button and restart to regain access to the iPhone. Ive just done a complete restore using iTunes and I still have the problem.

Randy,
The issue here is that the address pull down on Yahoo Maps chokes the iPhone. The iPhones Home button wont respond (read Bricked) and I have to power the iPhone off to regain control of the device. This is clearly a bug in the iPhone firmware and should be fixed by Apple.
This address pulldown is a simple list of ones saved locations. Perhaps the string length is too long for the iPhones Picker. Apple should fix it as this can be a problem on other web pages as well.
