HIS TOE? Does the writer mean that he set it up to recognize his toe? Or does he mean that the scanner couldn't distinguish between a finger and a toe? Several reviews are saying how great the recognition is, because it never rejects your fingerprint. Really, has anyone handed the phone off to another person, to see if THEIR fingerprint unlocks it? I guess we'll see when these devices are out in the real world.

Come on. Do you really think it couldn't tell the difference between the finger he set up and all his other fingers and even his toe?
People here know I generally loathe Apple and their products. But this is getting ridiculous. If this works the way they claim I absolutely would like to have it on my next phone.
The biggest thing, which has been said many times but apparently never sinks in:
FINGERPRINT SECURITY IS OPTIONAL. IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT FOR WHATEVER REASON, YOU DON'T HAVE TO USE IT.
