I have the same problem but when I press and hold the top button, my phone ask "slide to turn off". But it is frozen, I can not slide. I wait for a few seconds but nothing happens. Be so impatient now because I need my fone for some works. :( Do you know any solution? Thank you in advance Tks John.

If you use a Mac with iPhoto, Photostream is dumping and saving any new photos you take to iPhoto on the hard drive on your Mac. Photostream does not count against your iCloud data allocation. Once you have manually backed up your old (pre-iCloud photos), using iCloud to back up your pics is really redundant. Most of my music is from my own CDs I have ripped and iCloud doesn't back them up. Once I dropped backing up the photos on my iPhone and iPad, my data requirement dropped to almost nothing.
