the iphone uses the normal sim cards.

it IS still a phone.

However, make sure you purchase an unlocked iphone so it'll accept ANY simcard.

You should have asked this in the iphoneclub thread.

3.1 you can't JB, hence you can't install SB Settings, hence the sifus in the iphone club thread will be able to help you.

Oh my apologies then. I'm still running iphone 3G 8GB on 3.0, and as far as I know, there's no officially accepted JB for 3.1 on Windows (otherwise page 1 of the relevant thread would include that, no?).

Just finished reading the site. Yup, mine is a locked set, so will still have to wait for it

walked into TTDI Maxis Center, 20 mins later got my 32gb3GS!

JBed with Blackrain, and now having fun with it.

Gonna give the 8GB 3G (Hacktivated UK set) to my wife. Quick question - it was on U Mobile before. If she pyts in the Maxis sim card, can I just change the MMS settings on the Cellular Network Tab to enable MMs etc?

AFAIK you need to have 3G enabled for the iphone to use the location settings.

You can use maxis5.0 to send MMS.

Make sure you also have Location Services turned ON in Settings>General

just sayin, my 3GS (maxis official) behaves better with JB. I can actually control HOW I want to use my data allocation. This way, I won't be helpless if my phone is leeching data without me knowing and Maxis will only say "it's an iPhone, get used to it."

I WON'T get used to it because on my previous i3G, with U Mobile prepaid, the cellular data NEVER moved unless I meant it to. and yes, that meant JB-ing, installing SBsettings, disabling Fetch for email and also watching what apps I install and what they do (ads, etc).

Battery life is still a day and a half - which is normal with regular use.

For the record, JB-ing isn't a criminal activity. It's like installing software on your windows to manage your processes/performance and customise your rig.

nope, no dropped calls. phone was purchased from maxis on 28 Dec 09.

I'll repeat this:

1) Your iPhone 3GS is from maxis
2) Maxis iPhone 3Gs uses a newer version of the bootrom
3) whenever you install something that requires a reboot/turn off your iphone you'll need to run blackra1n again

there you go.

you can try installing the IPCC file for your provider.

In my case (Maxis iPhone 3GS, Maxis 5.0) I could see the cellular data network button immediately.

to answer your question, I used the 3.1 file. seemed to work off the bat for me

haha i know what you mean. I've resorted to going back to the main message list, tapping edit and then deleting the emails i don't want all in one go.

as for SMS i think we're stuck...

Ask your friend to come read the threads here. this issue has been discussed to death.

This is a difficult question to answer. The melei saying goes - tepuk dada tanya selera.

Apple WILL release a newer phone sometime.
So will Nokia, SE, Samsung etc. If you wanna wait for the latest and greatest you'll end up owning nothing.

Owning a 3GS I'm happy. Maybe I'll even change to the 4G in 2 years or so - but that's just me. Will the 3GS price drop? Maybe. How much? I'm guessing not by much - because right now Apple is bound to Maxis, and they will ensure they milk every single sen out of you and me.

So yeah, if you wanna have an awesome phone right now, get a 3GS. If you want it cheaper, call back in maybe 18 months or so.

Hi guys, anyone of you ever experienced older SMSes disappearing?
