I'm currently downloading the long overdue iPhone software update (2o mins to go) but I won't be installing it until the jailbreak hack is released, which should be sometime tomorrow.

Sorry to those who don't have an iPhone I'm just curious to see who else is updating straight away.

Luke.

Where do you download the update from?

I`ve been on the Apple website and can`t find it

Plug in your iphone and allow itunes to start. Under the Summary tab for your iPhone there is an Update button in the Version section. Click it and it will pop up saying that there is a new version to download.

my sis said i can have her old one

Ive updated mine, the search option is pretty cool. Copy and paste was a must aswell as mms.

Admittedly i havent been that bothered to spend alot of time on it yet, but i havent found anything else that amazed me. Turn by turn sat nav will be great though.

I'm in the process of doing mine but it says 'Waiting for activation - this may take some time'

How long is 'some time'? It's nearly 1am now - how long do I need to wait?

If it gets to quarter past I'm going to bed *yawn*

alot of people having errors with the new update so be aware, lock phone so cant turn on, jus spent 1-2 hours sorting my mates. right pain in the bum!

Mine seems to be ok *touches wood*

My first MMS has just gone - and been received 'hurrah'

So fingers crossed

If I get any problems I'll be back on here to see if anybody else is having them

Happy iPhoning

That's what I'm doing too - I want the 3.0 firmware but still want my options for customising too.

what can you do differently when you have the jailbreak thing?

what can you do differently when you have the jailbreak thing?

The main things are;

Customisation of the look & feel i.e. themes, ringtones, layouts etc...

Free open source apps - works in the same was as app store but for open source e.g. turn-by-turn navigation (not tomtom)

Ability to get around the lack of flash/java so that you can stream almost all web content

Free skype like apps that can work over 3G and do not require WiFi

There is a lot more to it but the list above is brief summary of what you can do. You can also unlock the phone so it can be used on any network but I would not recommend anyone doing that.

Ooh it's getting a bit technical

Yeah I wouldn't recommend messing around with jailbreaking unless you know what you're doing and are prepared to take a risk as Apple won't support it if it goes wrong. The iPhone is very good in standard form but I like to tweak things and mess around (the geek in me coming out)

good look with getting on with what you've got
