Not on firmware 2.0. The backup is there backing up your apps so that next restore after a firmware update, you dont have to reinstall it again. This is not jailbroken 1.1.4.
Thank you boss. Can can, no problem. Keep a lookout on the Tumpang Thread in this part of the forum.

Video clip of GPS while I was on the bus is being uploaded onto Youtube. I had to juggle between keeping focus on the iPhone with Xacti camcorder, all the while I was at the back of the bus, fearing with every bumps and corners of the bus, that my iPhone will come flying out of my lap.

So, in advance, please forgive the quality of the recording. I did it the best I can.

im still pretty much in the dark at the mo' coz i latest batch of iphones are not here yet! we should've gotten it yesterday, but dunno what happen.

just in case you're interested, previous shipment of stocks came from Hong Kong (i checked the packaging myself) and prolly that is the reason why our iphones are not locked. New shipment, not sure, but I'll update as the story develops.

and when psyeo told me iPhone technical support told him he got to go into a Vodafone store to unlock his iPhone, i was like "WTF???"

i have a feeling all this locking/unlocking thing is pure bullshit, trying to scare off people from buying it outright but im going to investigate it nonetheless.

I am waiting with baited breath on Cocklea's and Psyeo's findings tomorrow. Cocklea is going to test his Maxis sim on the new stocks, while Psyeo will try and go to the Vodafone store to ask them to "unlock" his already unlocked iPhone 3G. See how the procedure is.

I am in debt to these fine folks, without them I am lost. Thank you Cocklea/Psyeo!

not going to comment much, but the iPhone 3G sold till today is still unlocked.

Went down and ask to "unlock" my iphone today...3 of the Vodafone store sales assistance, says that they don't provide unlock service, as the iPhone sold from vodafone is not locked all the while.

anyway, we'll know for sure when Cocklea receive the new stock

p.s. keep it to ourself, k? don't spread the news out

If i'll be gettin mine, most likely it would be from the US since my friend is heading there this 6th August. Looks like i'll need to unlock it myself as I'm pretty sure (or it is already confirmed) the US iPhone is still locked exclusively to US telcos only even with the "out-of-contract" version.

update: got an email from my boss, stocks came in today!

but, not without a chilling note at the bottow of the email. OUTRIGHT SALES LIMITED TO 3 PER PERSON, CASH OR EFTPOS ONLY! CONSULTANTS PLEASE BE AWARE! VODAFONE IS TRACKING OUR SALES.

feck! not sure im going to spin this to my manager, but it looks like im majorly fcuked right now coz i need 8 for you guys!! more update later.

@cocklea,
*gulp* U'll find a way I'm sure.  So, are the new batches fully unlocked?

PS: If I'd paid cash for the phone but unable to collect the phone in person, is it possible for me to send a representative to make the collection?  If so, it shouldn't matter how many phones this person is going to collect right?!

Hi Bros,
