For those who post short oneliners, please do not post short oneliners post. Anymore short oneliners will be deleted. And please stop asking when will iPhone 3.0 be available. When iPhone 3.0 is available, there will be forumers posting the good news or the URL to download the firmware.

From Engadget: http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/17/stop-hi...ill-hours-away/

You can refresh all you want but that won't make the 3.0 update for your iPhone appear any faster. In fact, you might want to give your trigger finger a rest for a few hours -- Engadget bud, Richard Lai, noted in a tweet that Apple's Singapore site says that the iPhone OS 3.0 update will release on the 18th while Apple India says the 17th, the date announced by Apple -- the difference presumably accounting for the 2.5-hour timezone offset between the two countries. That would peg an OS 3.0 release anytime between 1700 and 1930 in London or between noon and 2:30pm in New York. But don't let a little knowledge ruin your obsessive behavior, where's the fun in that?

Update: The theory is supported by reports that carrier 3 in Hong Kong sent a network-wide SMS notifying iPhone owners that OS 3.0 will be available on June 18th, 01:00 local time. That's 1pm on the 17th in New York, 6pm in London, and 1900 in central Europe.

Plase check at 1am later via iTunes if 3.0 is avaialble. if not.. just wait it out.

So now Maxis is not being price friendly (since when anyway?) since they expect many people to get the iPhone 3G S, eh? What a disappointment. If it is really true on the price range, I might be forced to look elsewhere too.

Seriously, the 16GB of S, should be at leats priced somewhere near the previous version's 8GB.

Apple NZ website says iPhone 3.0 is available now....but only provide a dead link
While US website still says Available June 17. It is almost here now

NZ

US

Yes, after 12am is considered tomorrow... It is quite certain that it will be there around 12am...(maybe earlier a bit?)

Edit: seems like the one liner poster has been deleted... I hope I do not need to answer in a one liner fashion to them again...

apple follows San Francisco time. its currently 9.39 pm 17th in msia
its 6.38 am 17th in San Fran

Expect the OS to be out in 4 to 5 hours ?

Yupe, it's pretty confirm that the release time will be around there...
3.0 firmware release expected at 10am PT/1pm ET, quick Terminal tip to check

Just putting a note here...make sure you put some thoughts before upgrading to 3.0 as most of your apps are not compatible with 3.0. You will need to wait for all your current apps to be updated to 3.0. So far, only a bunch have ported over to iPhone 3.0 and hopefully more to come.

Just reminding us so that we don't fuzz about not having your favourite apps with you after upgrading to 3.0. Same goes to all Cydia/Installer/Icy apps users.

Cheers

And an added warning to Iphone users out there.

If you are using jail broken phones now and u update, jail breaking in the future will still be possible.

If you are using jail broken YellowSnow UNLOCKED phones, than u best stay away from the update.

Just a slight warning =D For some noobs that are bound to make this mistake

guys guys! just to make sure...

we must restore the phone 1st!!!

a reminder for me and my other iPhone fanboyzzzzzah!

holding back until all the dust is settled with JB enabled

p/s david, sorry didnt reply your msg was not around just now and pretty damn tired as well

Already mentioned earlier on previous that this is for iPhone 3GS, not for 2G or 3G and was available 16th June. Please read previous post before posting. Thank you

Yeah guys, you don't want to screw up other iPhones do you... hehehe! Anyway is that even possible cause they should run a cross check before applying the update.

Sigh, when is it coming! I don't want to loose sleep.

Do we really need to restore our iphone first before update to 3.0 ?

Restore is the only option.

No, you can update it right away. Officially unlocked phones are safe, jailbreak-ed iPhone is not cause it will revert your phone back to locked unit.

mine is official unlock but jailbreaked. so what you suggest ? restore before update or no need?

thanks!

Jailbreak phones are safe as well, yellowsn0w ones are not.
However, jailbreak ones need to wait for the release of new jailbreaking tools for 3.0, and if its an unlocked phone, it will stay that way till kingdom comes.

Get your facts right bro, otherwise just refrain from posting la rather than misleading others.
