Is unlocking possible with the 3.0? If so can someone point me in the right direction (right now I think its not possible?). I've already jailbroken it but want to use it overseas.
Thanks

black phone, black slider. i tried the white one first and i don't think i'd like it even if i had the white phone. the gray (i think that's the gunmetal) and black ones are much less tacky/flashy.

i also totally recommend the film. you can't even tell it's on except for the super smooth texture when using the touch-screen. the guy at the apple store was awesome. he put it on for me and helped transfer my contacts over and everything.

Got 3Gs TETHER to work.

went to http://help.benm.at/help.php on my iphone and selected USA-->AT&T.

Tethering worked immedaitely. Only tried BT w/ MBP on OSX so far. No windows or USB yet.

Apparently some people complained the lost VVM when doing the tether hack, but I didn't with 3GS on AT&T w/ that setup file.

Nah, I did give a fawk what people think of my wallet, and my friends wouldn't miss a chance to bust my balls to my face if it looked like a purse

When syncing, some files aren't copying over. It's not because they're unchecked or anything and I still have room. It seems to be the ones that are .m4a from cds that I've put on my computer. I'm not sure if it matters that I have authorized my computer or not but I've checked and I am authorized.

same thing happened to me. If your ripped music in in a place that is not the default for iTunes it gets confused and pukes. I reimported them then they were all there 2 or 3 times. I said f it and spent 2hrs manually deleting the dups, iPhone support was helpful but I fixed it the hard way with out have to call itunes/ipod support.

Try syncing a single file in a new playlist. once I was able to do this iPhone support said they could not help further and if I needed addtional help I would need to call ipod support.

Finally jailbroke 3.0 using redsn0w. It's just as easy to use as QuickPwn if not easier because it gives you explicit help getting your phone into DFU mode. I've found it to be buggier than before, not sure if that's a redsn0w issue, a 3.0 issue, or what. The perceived performance increase has remained, I think.

It's incredibly simple to use redsn0w, especially on a Mac. You upgrade to 3.0, download redsn0w, point it to your 3.0 firmware, and it does the rest. I ended up not being able to use AptBackup, again I'm not sure if that's my issue or a system thing. Getting all my old jb apps has been pretty easy, although I haven't attempted pdanet yet, hope I won't have to pay again.

i tought pdanet was free for standard browsing, you just couldn't do something special which most people didn't need (not sure what it was called, but yeah)...

I think the people who lost vm were not using the mobileconfig files from ben m.

BTW I have the 3G and the ben m files worked flawlessly.

I can not see AT&T letting use use tethering with out charge. I have seen anywere from 10 - 55 per month, and since I have the highest corporate data plan it is absolutely bull **** that they would charge a dime extra.

BBTW how can an unlimited plan have limits.

They're stored in the default C:\Users\Name\iTunes\iTunes Music folder that I have selected, same as all the non-ripped music.

What did you have to do to finally get it to work? Sorry but I had a hard time deciphering from your post.

Redsnow didn't work for me first time, and i'm not restoring again right now because I really hate doing it, so I'm just going to wait for Quickpwn. ****ing ******y redsnow

Really thinking about picking up the new 3GS in the next month. Will be a brand new ATT customer. Any special deals or anything I should know about? Thanks in advance.

The special deal is the iPhone for 99/199/299 Enjoy!

Oh and fwiw I was able to get them on my phone by allowing to manually manage my music, but that's not what I want to have to do all the time. All of my music synced fine onto my iPod though.

What? I got my 16 gig iPhone 3GS today and they charged me over $1900!

$199 for the phone...

$45 for the case...

$1700 for a 24 inch iMac + wireless printer for my wife so she wouldn't complain about me getting an iPhone...

i posted something about using bing.com and getting 35% off earlier in this thread

The biggest mistake I made when getting mine was getting a case there. So expensive. I got a much better one off Amazon for 1/8th the price or something crazy a few months later.

I thought the Bing thing didn't work, or so I had read.

Has anyone else besides me decided to wait until next summer to upgrade from the 3g? I'm not eligible until 12/31 and I'm not going to pay the extra $200 to get the 3gs now.

I'm also certainly not going to upgrade in December since I will be in the same situation next summer when a much better phone than the 3g or 3gs should come out, the 4g.

Yup

When using Skype on the iPhone does is use airtime or just data? Also does the calls work good?

Hmm, Skype website says you can't make Skype calls via the iPhone. What about that program called "Fring". And would it use much data?

I've used fring to make voice calls, it was very laggy though, like a 2 second or so delay on each side. That was last august though, so maybe they've gotten it together since then. Never tried over a data connection, because data costs here are outrageous, and i only have a 2G, but i assume it wouldn't be fast enough.

I am a 3G owner waiting for the 4G as well. 3.0 has tided me over nicely.

I don't understand how this could happen. It's not going to get easier. FWIW I read somewhere that redsn0w is going to replace quickpwn instead of just tiding people over until qp is ready, so you might want to consider trying again.

Everything on my phone is now the same as pre-jailbreak, except I have 3.0 features. And setttings is no longer in a category (although SBSettings is obv the way to go).

I have a 3G no and have looked at the 3Gs and I see no reason to shell out another $199 for the 3Gs.

Now that I can tether, do horizontal email and texting I just can not justify the upgrade, unless it would make me sooo cool that I would be irresistible to women, but I think only a Bentley could do that.
