3G iPhone has mounting evidence for its upcoming release
http://www.slashphone.com/3g-[....]-for-its-upcoming-release-3128
Posted by iainkane
Ok I've now been left with a difficult decision, I had been planning to get an iphone and I knew the rumours of the 3g iphone but now my brother in law is going state side in 3 weeks and if I want one from there I need to let him know. Any ideas when they are likely to announce it if its true? I read something about WWDC but when is it? There is also the issue with how quickly it would be jailbroken and unlocked etc, but I think the biggest thing is how is the iphone for web browsing at the moment and how much difference would 3g make??
As I said decisions decisions...

wwdc is in june, would have thought we'll see the 3g one there. When it is released is anyones guess, some time soon after that i would have thought.
The current iPhone could do with being 3g as the browser is fantastic and ive certainly surfed a lot lot more on the move than did before with other phones. For em edge is just fast enough, and where i am in central london i don't get any 3g reception (well i didnt with Orange anyway). The free wifi is cool as well.

T-Mobile sends iPhone pricing through the floor in Germany

Found an interesting article.
WSJ's Mossberg says 3G iPhone due in 60 days
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Speaking at a Beet.tv executive summit, well-known Wall Street Journal writer Walt Mossberg has stirred the pot by stating that an iPhone with 3G access will be available within 60 days.
The journalist makes his off-hand but apparently certain statement while discussing the relatively poor state of Internet access in the US, whose cellular and landline connections are often outrun by foreign providers.
Mossberg doesn't cite any sources in his talk with executives, in which he also comments that the Apple TV is limited by the speed of American Internet access.
However, the technology critic is also known for gaining privileged access to information and products from Apple. Mossberg received his review iPhone on June 11th last year -- more than two weeks before the touchscreen cellphone was available to the general public and ahead of most other journalists.
The comments echo the increasingly repeated June timetable for a launch of an iPhone with faster wireless access. In recent days, multiple analysts have predicted that Apple will unveil its 3G iPhone no later than June, with Piper Jaffray claiming that the ongoing iPhone shortage is a sign of inventory control measures meant to phase out older models.
T-Mobile Germany has further sparked interest by subsidizing the price of 8GB iPhones in a promotional campaign that ends June 30th.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Regarding the 3G iphone does anyone think it will be the sucessor to iphone or just iphone with 3G? When I say sucessor I mean other new features such as a better cam ect....
Also a quick question regarding SDK. When it comes in June or whenever will that mean they will be actual apps that are installed or wil they be web based apps? Reason I ask is that im hoping an MSN/Windows Live Messenger Client app is made. I know there are things like meebo and ebuddy but those arnt secure and a proper application would be much better than some online one.

iPhone shortage: supply woes or new model?

my iphone seems to have lost all its music and video content but Iphones thinks its still there
anyone seen this before?
I believe I can do the reset > erase all content and settings safely although its an unlocked phone but I thought I'd check here for advice before doing that
Posted by bavlondon2
Apparantly its a common thing for jailbroken iphones.
Posted by masseur
oh, my googling hasn't come up with any similar experience so far
I assume it is ok to do the full reset with the "erase all content and settings?"... I read in a couple of places this won't lock the phone again but I'm not sure yet that it won't also get rid of installer?
Posted by bavlondon2
I think it may get rid of the installer. But you can just put it on again if that happens.
Posted by masseur
probably but I have no knowledge or experience in that yet as I've been happy to be just an iphone user
I guess I'll have to suck it and see and deal with whatever happens 'coz its obviously no good as it is now
Posted by masseur
all is well. I did the "Erase all content and settings" and it left installer and all the apps I had installed. Strangely it also left my wifi settings but everything else seems to be reset including the desktop layout, email accounts etc etc
All my content is resynching now so I'm happy

New iPhone to sport a case redesign?

Posted by REO

Posted by haynesycop
I bought a case from CPW but quite frankly i don't bother with it, as i like my phones to be on show, have learnt a harsh lesson though as i dropped it in a pizza shop the other week. It's got a few marks here and there but i'll be upgrading soon anyway. Just to say it really is a tough phone nothing happened to it at all it didn't switch off or anything.

Yeah and it looks as if that allows video capture tooso hoorah.
On a downnote Mossberg has taken back his "60 days" comment.
Posted by haynesycop
My iPhone is rather battered now, bring on the next one, looking forward to the applications store not long to go now, that'll really unleash the power of it, oodles of stuff to get on it.

Some show off on the bus yesty had a iPHONE, after I got myphone out tho he was looking over at it no competition really
Posted by callstrum
need some advice..
Got an iphone, unlocked with 1.1.3 firmware. can i still update to the latest firmware via itunes? cos i have heard that it will brick the phone. is that true?
thanks in advance
Posted by masseur
you should definitly NOT use itunes to update your firmware on an unlocked phone if you want it to stay that way
Posted by shanespencer
If it helps, I got my iPhone today (for £169) which had 1.1.4 installed, and within 5 minutes of running Ziphone, it was fully jailbroken and unlocked. So, even if your phone is unlocked but on an earlier firmware, you can upgrade it then run Ziphone (and various other programs) to unlock it again.

lol i'm sure he was just checking you out and not the phone lol.. iphone power!
guys updating to 1.1.4 is safe to do.. plenty of free unlock softwares out there now...
if you are mac users pwnage is by far the best.. heck you can even load beta 2.0 on it if you want.. and custom bootloaders...
i've been using my iphone for over 4 months now.. and honestly don't miss any of the other phones out there...

Yeah right if only lmao
Posted by Miss UK
I only noticed cos I was sat at the front of the bus on the single seats lol and so was the other guy with the phone
ive actually used the iPhone within a 02 shop and the Apple shop in Birmingham's Bullring city centre im not slagging it off seriousley but I hate showoffs, I actually recieved a text message so I responded to it and the guy saw myphone
Nuff said!
If iPhone was cheaper had better Camera and a add on KeyPad i'd prob have one myself, unfortuanatley though I like my N95-2
I don't think i'd trade it for a iPhone put it that way
Posted by bavlondon2
I had the N95 and the N95 8gb and I have to say N range phones are not built as solid as they used to be. Even my old N70 feels more solid. I know these phones are feature rich but in terms of user interface experience iphone cant be touched.
I used to always go for camera focuses phones but to be honest I carry my ixus with me everywhere these days so it makes no sense to get a decent camera phone.
Posted by Miss UK
N95-2 runs well though and it does have some good apps available for it! For me personally its decent enuff! iPhone needs alot doing to it before I have one! I don't like Touchscreen texting I think it would take the biscuit consider how many ppl contact me!
Posted by djtwistter
am getting one to muhahhahaahahha

My personal opinion on iphones keypad is that its the best one I have ever used. I can text much quicker than on a regular keypad even with T9.

Posted by masseur

Posted by whentheleveebreaks

I'll do it on hers first and if that all looks good I'll prob update the firmware in mine to 1.1.4 and run it on mine
edit: why makes me wonder... I don't know how mine was originally unlocked... does it matter if I then use ziphone?

The ZiPhone does it all for you, which makes it so easy to do...
You cant go wrong with it really...
Cheers
ENJOY
Posted by iainkane
Can I ask one question? Can ZiPhone be undone if it needed to be returned under warrenty? I have heard that liberty can restore it if it needs to be returned but ZiPhone sounds nice and easy and if others have used it then there is a level of support about here.
Posted by SE-Naz
Not tried it but from what I know it can restore as if nothing had been done on it.
Cheers
ENJOY

The thing I was thinking was that I had been told the bootloader was permanently downgraded.
Posted by SE-Naz
Do you think they would check that???
They would just look and see if the phone has been unlocked and activated without a contract... Yes or No...???
Not sure... but thats my thought
Cheers
ENJOY
Posted by iainkane
Very good point Naz, I give people too much credit in the job they do!!! I work in risk so i am always looking for ways that people can get something for nothing.
In some ways i wonder if they would even check if the phone was activiated etc.
Picking it up tonight after work...cant wait i'll be on later.
thanks for the help
