While I am sure it is not too difficult to jailbreak an iphone, is there anyone out there that would be willing to do it for me. One of my associates husbands may be able to do it but just in case, I would like to have a back up.

I'd be happy to, if you don't end up being talked into doing it yourself. I've jailbroken my iPhone 2ce now (1.4 and 2.2.1). (And when I say "I've jailbroken", I don't want to take too much credit -- I didn't figure it out, I just ran someone else's software.)

There is always a lag between versions and jailbreaks -- sometimes they're longer than others. I suspect 3.0 will be non-trivial, so we'll have to watch for it. I monitor the jailbreaking community, so I can let you know.

Thanks. I have a guy locally that has done it before. Definitely let me know when the version after 3.0 is released is available.

Will do.

Me too. I discovered on Friday that my chest waders have a nice leak and I left my touch in my pocket . Currently DOA with little likelihood of revival.

Try this... get a Tupperware container and fill it with rice and place the device in the rice and let it sit for about a day. The rice draws out the moisture. It's worked well for cell phones in the past, give it a shot with your touch.

**BRENT**

Uncle Ben's should come out with an app for that, and with 3.0 OS they can use the dock connector, headphone jack, and outside buttons to dry out remotely using MobileME

Hmmmm, time to buy some Uncle Ben's stock I see...

My questions:

1) Is the upgrade from the Gen 1 iPhone to this new one significant in terms of speed, both in terms of performance and connectivity?

2) Is it reasonable to anticipate that the iPhone will be on Verizon by next year?

AT&T sucks in NYC--and I mean it sucks bad. So, if Verizon is soon, then I will just hold off.

1) Unknown, but highly probable. It likely has a significantly faster processor and double the RAM.

2) Unknown, much less probable. Likely depends on a combination of how much ATT might be willing to pony up to stay exclusive and how fast Verizon moves away from CDMA in the transition to its 4G network. I think the smart money is on 2011.

I've decided not to upgrade my 1st gen to the 3GS because I mostly use edge anyway, and it's $20 instead of $30 for the data plan.

1) Unknown, but highly probable. It likely has a significantly faster processor and double the RAM.

Updated answer. It should be a lot faster.

And if they're not cheating in the video, it is. Let Nelson sell you one!

Don't you love the fake hand in the video?! During the and movie and picture taking section...

i'm in the process of installing iPhone OS 3.0. i'll give impressions, if anyone wants them, once it's done and i've used it for a while.

Where did you get the firmware from?

I have an apple dev account through work.

Cool.

reks this is the iphone thread, of course post your impressions as they come, if your words dont help now they may someone down the road later on..

this is a good thread!

New feature. JazzBlock. Long overdue.

See?

whats the music do, close the ipod down and send you to the home screen? or lock up the phone and you need to hold the sleep and home button down to reset it?

what kind of music files?

giggling @ jazzblock.

192 aac files, made in iTunes. it just locks up as soon as it starts to play, and i have to reset. never had a problem with them before.

192 kbbs can't capture the all the awesomeness that is jazz. Duh.

Installing OS 3.0 as we speak. This might be the key stone of my new house.

wow that sounds crazy, i have had the ipod shut down all the time when i used to make a "on the go" playlist but it would not lock the phone.

Everything seems to be working just fine with 3.0. Just can't figure out how to get MMS working. Maybe the "final" build that I used isn't that final.

AT&T won't activate MMS till later this summer.

Dickwads. Though I will say their coverage is great out here in my part of the Boston 'burbs. Still, can't wait for their exclusive to expire -- if only to put some competitive pressure on plan pricing.
