this interests me...
but do we need to JB the iphone?
if yes...then i wont be interested anymore...

thx for sharing the info though mate..

Okay, awesome news just came in.

I have a single slot for a 32GB iPhone 3G[S] from either Vodafone Italy or TIM. My understanding is that the Italian iPhones are fully unlocked officially because of their law (similar to Malaysian and Singaporean iPhones), and I have two very good friends there on an extended stay in Rome, Italy starting on the 29th this month. If anyone is interested on a chance to get the iPhone 3G[S] before Maxis even have the balls to finally decide their release date/price, this is it.

My contacts had prior experience buying iPhone 3G from Rome before, so they know the basics on getting the iPhone (unlock status, buying outright not contract plan) so I'm more than relieved that they are there on my behalf looking for the 3G[S].

Once the details on the Italian iPhone 3G[S] comes in and their unlock status is confirmed (I am already more than confirmed about this, but just for the peace of mind), I will proceed with this.

This ship is about to set sail, and there's only one seat left in this voyage. Your call.

@stringfellow,
AhHh.. so you're more e. stable now?

Even more unstable! I'm too happy I can't sleep now! But I never actually thanked you for listening to my grumblings and ramblings that day, thanks for the company, Tink.

turn on the tethering 1st
then only plug it in.
the 1st time when i turn on and plug, the vista treat is as new device and automatically install some driver
then wait for quite some while , it start tethering.
I replying this message with the tethering

Also, what's the damage like on this 32GB iPhone 3G S? Maybe I should start ignoring ur comments before I decide to splurge unnecessarily

*imagines Tink singing "Lalalalalala" loudly to ignore my comments*

*shouts "EU719, Tink!"

Ooh... pricey... pricey... but but... its a nice phone to have.

**keeps $ aside for USA trip instead**

Hmm tethering only seems to work if the PC has itunes installed.

I managed to tether from my house last night, no probs. I tried to tether with my laptop at work to get around the hundreds of blocked websites (no itunes installed), doesn't work. Even with the tethering on, the laptop doesn't detect the phone as a network device, detects as camera only.

Bluetooth for some reason I can't get my laptop to pair with my 3g *shrug*

How're you doing on filling the visa form?

PM me instead, I'll talk you through there.

I will respond later though, I need to get some sleep.

mine also iPhone 3G but i don't see any indicator beside the battery icon...

oic...
thanks for the info...

I seriously need help on this. My phone has been bricked for 2 days after updating to 3.0. I suffered error during the upgrade and my phone cant be turned on now. When tried DFU restore I don't even see connect to itunes screen but itunes detected it. Then im stucked on "Verifiying Iphone Restore" forever.

i have experienced the same problem. my solution is to install itunes on another computer then do the restore there. after that i go back to my pc and restore the backup. everything is fine now. before this, everything i did to restore does not work on my pc.

Simple Hack to Enable Tethering on iPhone OS 3.0 (Will this work for DIGI EDGE)

The non-availability of tethering and MMS features in the U.S at the time of the launch of iPhone OS 3.0 was probably the most disappointing news that was announced at the WWDC 2009 Keynote address.

However, some clever folks have figured out a way to enable tethering on iPhone OS 3.0 without the need to jailbreak their iPhone.

There are several methods floating around to enable tethering on iPhone OS 3.0 but I found the method where you can enable it via iPhone's Safari, the easiest.
The process of tethering allows your laptop to use your iPhone's data connection to surf the internet.

The idea behind the hack to enable tethering on the iPhone running iPhone OS 3.0 is to download a .ipcc, which is carrier specific and update your iPhone with it via iTunes. The procedure gets even simpler using iPhone's Safari browser.

Step 1 to 8:

Folks at BenM.at have hosted several iPhone tethering configuration files for many carriers across several countries. You need to go to the following link http://help.benm.at/help.php using iPhone's Safari browser.
