iPhone 2.0 / 3G - Page 2

They started doing this a few years back if I remember correctly. It started because everyone knew when a new product upgrade would be released and sales a month prior would plummet.

Got the 2.0 firmware on my 1.0 phone today, works pretty good!

For those looking for a nice phone, I would consider buying a used v1 iphone and unlocking it. It's cheap and still a *very* nice phone. I still love mine. Sorry to say though, I will be saying goodbye to it soon....

Thats cause you are way to ballin' to not have the new hotness.

Too bad their activation servers are down today

Who says M$ is the only one that are n00bs. At any rate I'm buying one and praying they jailbreak it sooner than later... I give it a week or less. Then it's time to pray that they make a divx codec/player for it so I can watch my pirated movies on it, without having to convert it.

For now I'll just have to settle for playing GT2 on it and looking like a t00l that sold out to Apple.

iTunes store is down, no update for me

**scheides** · 07-11-2008

So I got my phone upgraded to the new 2.0 software yesterday, works perfect. I have a copy of the firmware if you are dying for it, let me know

iPhone 3G in hand, but goddamn iTunes store is dead in the water, so its sitting here lifeless, and my old phone is deactivated

Sooooo can V1 phones be unlocked and used on say the Sprint network?

I know nothinnnng about phones, as i've used the same one for going on 5 years now.

2mins of research tells me it will not work, as these phones only work on GSM networks.

These phones look cool, but the data plan is rape.

Yeah I agree, I was going to switch and get it but the extra 30-50 bucks on top off of the plan is kinda high for me right now. Even more so considering that 3g isn't even in the duluth area yet.

It is an expensive plan, but when you consider the fact that pretty much any other pda/smart phone will end up being the same price monthly when you add unlimited data access and txts on top of a calling plan, you'll end up paying approx. the same anywhere. When I had my blackberry it cost me $70 a month for unlimited data, 400 txts, enterprise email, and the cheapest T-Mofo calling plan, and I believe that is approx. what the first AT&T plan costs for the iPhone. It's sad though, because in countries like India, Japan, etc, cell phones and service are dirt cheap, same phones and better phones I might add.

you can unlock the first generation iphone and run it on T-mobile no problem. All you need to do at T-mobile is buy their Tzones $5.99 plan and you have unlimited internets.
