Give free complain pulak, put it this way the cd is for those who uses internet minimal, and does not have time to spend to wait for the download, although its just 1 hour.

If u dont want the cd then just give it to someone else, the cd can help those who dont have long hours of internet time to download.

i would rather that they save up on the cost of manufacturing and distributing the CDs, in bid to reduce the iPhone upfront payments/monthly tariff (to shut the hell out of those people complaining that the american iPhone is only USD99).

that is why i don't mind purchasing softwares (or even ACPP) without the packaging at a cheaper price.

to make things worse,we all know that apple upgrades their firmwares faster than i can service my car.

i will b happy if Optus here provide free cd too but it is impossible

the reason is i only got 15GB allowance broadband for this month..i need to use this usage wisely..n 15GB is just enough for me only...
*
LOL. now i feel that my 60GB per month (and unlimited speed of 128 after exceeding) is a little too much for my own greed.

Looking at your signature stringfellow, have anyone mention that in OS 3.0 when you tap on the blue dot that shows your current location and it will also show the exact accurate address of your location.

hmmm... i know for the current firmware, i just need to drop a pin on the blue dot and by tapping one more time, a full length address will then appear.

mann...

the way i see this, is like a bait for you to rush out to purchase the new iPhone 3G S.

it is not even available for public consumption yet, and the OS 3.0 is up and running.

No tethering for included data allowance.. wow that is really what people say 'potong stim'.. And I was so happy (until now) to think that I'll be able to make full use of my monthly 250MB once OS3.0 is released.  sad.gif

250MB is only a lot in the iPhone "world" to be honest.

once you tether it up to a PC/MAC, 250MB will be gone within days!

Yes agreed. My mobile broadband easily zaps up 50MB++ data in the first 15 minutes. On the iPhone, things are much more efficient since we rely on apps and not outright browsing.

precisely. let's put in this way, with the PC/MAC, you are more likely to be mouse-clicking happy with also the tendency to surf for p0rn, discovery channel sites et cetera.

to my best knowledge, even the youtube videos are optimised for the iPhone consumption over the network.

Apple scrambling to counter Dev Team?

Thanks to Psyeo for the first heads-up, it is just this paragraph piques my interest:-
If your Maxis CD contains this old OS, and Apple is yanking it out to counter Dev Team's ultrasn0w efforts, you can throw that CD in the dustbin already for being an outdated version of OS 3.0. THIS is the reason why I said it before, and I'll say it again, that is it a ridiculously senseless move by Maxis to send the firmware update via CDs, because the nature of the cat-and-mouse game between Apple and the Dev Team prompts the dynamically changing nature of the firmware updates.

Next time, think and listen. It is not just because it is logical and easier to distribute the firmware update digitally, but also because there are other reasons. If this is true, Maxis' supposedly attempt at trying to look like they are providing technical support for the distribution of the new firmware, already makes them fall flat on their face. Understand?

so says the typical anything-free-grabbing typical Malaysian.

On a related note, my contact in Maxis just chimed in. Maxis, as expected, is stretching the 3G[S] launch till late July/early August. Price indicator? 16GB 3G[S] = current 16GB 3G.

That is it, I am scrambling my own plan. Maxis, you had your shot, but you just had to prolong the wait. I am not inclined to wait any longer.

if that is the case, then i can comfortably say that the allegedly leaked optus price plans will hold (some degree of) water.

alright! 26th is the day for me to put my credit rating score into test!

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.
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.

@Mike3300
Let me just ask you based on your original answer rebutted by Hanxz....what if my jailbroken iPhone is an officially unlocked unit? According to your statement highlighted above, you said it is not safe and my phone will lock. And that is incorrect which is what Hanxz is pointing out.

Your subsequent clarification actually reaffirms what Hanxz said as when he said yellowsn0w ones, he means un-officially unlocked units.

There you are, guys, again, as I have stated many times in this forum, it is the usage of the language that sometimes misleads us and unwittingly we remain adamant.

well i have heard of this medical condition before; in which the constant clicking of the F5 key, does to a certain extend, cause symptoms mimicking a bad hangover.

btw, can i share the downloaded 3.0 for iPhone with my iPod Touch..??

no. common sense will tell that you cannot. just look at the firmware file name

for your iPod Touch, you will have to fork out USD10

a lot of the peeps in oz have already completed the installation.

and some had some troubles activating their officially unlocked units, due to the heavy traffic.

just unplug your USB and re-attempt the activation process again.

activation requires a stable and secure connection to the apple database, to make sure that it is actually unlocked.

please remember that you can cancel the excruciating and long initial backup process (yes it will be very long), if you are anxious to try out the new OS 3.0
