turns out my fiance is eligible for the good price upgrade on 7/1. i am going to exchange my 3G for a new one under warranty on account of battery trouble, and then switch phones with her. so, i'll put my SIM card into the 3GS and her SIM card into the 3G. is this going to work? i only have 1 paid app. will it transfer to the 3gs after I sync with iTunes?

I'll try it again. Only thing I can think is i'm not entering dfu mode correctly. However it does say it working and enters the various stages. It's just that when it's done it's not jailbroken.

So just to get this straight, you:

1) Backed up your phone
2) Downloaded BOTH redsnow & the IPSW file for 3.0 from those links
3) Ran the redsnow application and followed the prompts

It says I can skip the step where you hold "Shift" and click Restore if I already have 3.0 on my phone...which I do.

I use skype a lot and like it very much. Once my ATT service was down and I was able to make the call anyway over wifi!! Skype on the iphone is very useful for the right person. I don't see myself ever needing more than the 450 mins plan because of skype. I wish I could get a smaller voice plan.

Unless you jailbreak your iphone, Skype only works over wifi, not 3G. There is a method I believe of spoofing wifi with 3G if you have a jailbroken phone, but I haven't tried this.

So, it does a bunch of stuff, but doesn't actually install Cydia?

if you jailbreak your phone, is the warranty of the phone now voided?

Solid, I got tethering installed on my 3GS. I haven't tried using it yet, but just to have it is awesome. I'm going to give it a try later tonight.

Is there a 2+2 equivalent for iPhone forums? Blogs that I should be following? I want to read and learn more that I can do with this thing now that I actually have one to play with.

No.. well not if you're at all intelligent... Just restore your phone before you take it in and you'll be fine, they'll never know what you had on there.

As for those of you that cannot figure out how to make things work, why not try going directly to the Dev Teams blog?

http://blog.iphone-dev.org/

Those people are writing the app that jailbreaks/unlocks your phone.

As of now, they do not have redsn0w unlocking the 3G iPhone, it jailbreaks it, but does not unlock it.

Yes, when you jailbreak with redsn0w it installs cydia.

Their blog updates will explain everything you need to know.
