Seems Orange have sold around 30,000 iphones on its launch day. Is that a good figure for one day?

You KNOW what this means for Apple, for Orange UK, aftermarket accessories, but most importantly end users!

I been told that the free 3 month sky promotion on the iPhone is an exclusive agreement with o2 an Sky. It won't work for other networks only the chargeable option will work. I got my free code tho cuz am on o2 so happy days  btw quality is realy good. |

Sure enough, there's now a much more malicious and dangerous version of that jailbroken iPhone SSH worm - http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/11/11/iphone_hacking_tool/ - this one steals user data and gives no sign of its presence..

MyWi couldn't enable wifi tethering tonight and asked to reboot. On reboot all I got was the apple logo repeatedly whether I did a normal reset or a hard reset so.... 2 hours later, my iPhone is almost finished being restored.
can't complain though, I have had almost no issues with the iPhone itself and I guess this is the price of jailbreaking

aarrgghh!
I don't recommend using Blackra1n RC3 as it causes more troubles than it solves.
network settings need to be reset after every power on to get wifi working, if you can get it working at all, and apparantly youtube and gps have issues, though there's a cydia fix for that.
fortunately I have Blackra1n RC2 that I used before in a backup so I've just restored that and am now, once again, restoring my iphone
actually, I'm not that bothered by the jailbreak. Its the unlock I want so if this still causes problems I guess I'll just wait for my unlock code from O2 in the next week or two

Yeah I was trying the sky subscription with my orange sim so probably explains why it didn't send will
pop in my o2 sim and try again. I used rc3 blackrain and although initially I had no wifi and had to resest network settings several times and after getting wifi to work I have had no other issues irregardless of if I power down the device or not. It's strange how blackra1n seems to affect different devices so differently |

I tried resetting network settings many times with RC3 but it just wouldn't find any wifi networks so i decided on resetting the iphone and choosing the new setup option to start from scratch rather than doing a restore from my previous setup.
once it was initially reset I did the blackra1n RC2 and then blacksn0w and then ticked all the boxes in iTunes to install all my music, videos, podcasts, apps, pics etc again and I've restarted the phone and swapped sims a dozen times now to check it and its been perfect each time.
Actually, doing it as a fresh install this time seems to have given me nearly 1gb more free than I had before, even though I have checked and everything is installed as it was
now I'm playing with an app called iPhoneBackupExtractor to pull the camera roll and text messages from the previous backup, but this one costs $15 for full functionality so I'm hunting around for a freeware app before I pay the money

there is a way to permanently fix the WI-FI(at least it should, it worked for me): http://www.simonblog.com/2009[....]ems-after-blackra1n-jailbreak/ read the whole thing, it worked for me, as I said...Idk if it's the PushFix app, or maybe because I reinstalled the FW a few thousand times, but I think it's PushFix, cuz before I installed it, I had problems with my wi-fi, and no probs after:P

yeah, at the time I was having problems I googled and found that exact same thing written in man places, and tried it all but it made no difference to my wifi problems.
Anyway, its all working great now after the full reset and as I said elsewhere, using a tmob sim now is like having a new phone. 3G data just works each and every time unlike the frequent O2 stagnation. Its also available throughout my whole commute rather than the many black spots on O2 where I can't get data even though the signal bar shows full rception and the 3G icon is displayed too!
Still waiting for my vodafone sim to give them a test as its been around 4 years since I left Vodafone

thanks for that. when the iphone is switched off and its charging. should i get an indicator on the main screen showing its charging, like a big green bar, or should the phone screen remain off while its being charged? is that normal. because mines if off while its charing, i don't see any sign of it being charged while the phone is off and its plugged into the wall charger. |

there's no charging indication when its off
when its on, but the screen is off, there's also no indication but if you touch the home button you get a huge battery displayed in the middle of the screen and you can see how full it is. Also the battery icon in the top right shows its charging too
