Well, even if you did install it onto your phone, you won't be able to sync with iTunes anymore. the 3.0b firmware requires your phone's UUID to be registered at their developer's portal before iTunes will sync with it (and iTunes goes online to check on this too)

Well, its call a dev preview and beta for a reason. I won't even want to put it on the device I use on an everyday basis.

well, i haf one question. wat are d chances of maxis releasin d new iphone simultaneously with AT&T? i doubt it wil be immediate. if ur gonna depend on parallel imports, be prepared to be slaughtered. so in d end, we MIGHT not be gettin the new iphone in june. n if judgin by maxis's iphone, we might be gettin it afta sept. so its not all doom n gloom for new iphone users. Tech waits for no man, but if u keep followin it blindly, u might get one massive hole in ur wallet. wat i say is just enjoy d moment n if u like d new iphone, sell ur current one n buy d new one. fullstop.

In regards to not having the launch at the same time, here's something to think about. Whenever Apple launched a new product, have they ever continued manufacturing the older ones at the same time as the new one? So far, no.

True that the new iPhone may not arrive in June, but chances are that it'll be for similar reasons as the delay in the iPod Touch 2nd Gen last year. Red tape.

if you install 3.0 and you have no idea what an ADC is ...
congratulations, you just bricked your iPhone.

this bricking is permanent, at least until 3.0 is made public.
my advice = wait till its available via iTunes. minimum wait till after WWDC 2009, June 12th.

that's less than 8 weeks smile.gif

The reason for this is because, after upgrading to 3.0, downgrades are no longer possible. Even if you've got ADC.

y buy original iphone ??? nowadys clone one got almost same of the functions wifi and also with tv and most important the price is so nice .. u can buy two or three cone one with the original one with the original price ....

There very good reasons for getting the original iPhone. Have you tried the clone phones? Here's a comparison:
- no App Store access. This is one of the main appeals of the iPhone as well as the iPod Touch
- sensitivity of the screen. There's a world of difference here.
- responsiveness of the OS. Again, there's a world of difference here. the clone phones tends to lag badly
- Overall OS design. Again, a huge world of difference here, especially when it comes to navigating even the most basic of features such as the contact list, or SMS menus

What I can say is, my mum's gotten herself a clone unit a few months back. It lasted her less than a week before she gave up on it. Pretty happy with the original set that I got for her as a replacement.

no, i thought that means a new hardware is coming to maxis?
yeah i know OS3.0 is just a firmware version, but it's kinda weird if u just wanna advertise the OS3.0 on an iPhone that is nearing the end of its cycle.
it's like saying that "if u r buying this winmo 6.1 phone (ph34r.gif), u'll get 6.5 upgrade", of which the software alone isnt the selling point of the device.
and maxis is selling the iPhone here, not the OS. and why they wanna advertise that OS3.0 upgrade on their site?

but yeah, myb it's just maxis wanna show that it's committed on supporting the iPhone for the lapse of its warranty period, and provides the software upgrades (which is funny enough, coz they r not the one who provide the firmware upgrades. Apple does).

so myb this means something, or nothing at all.

btw i'll just wait for any news by string.

or maybe its just something as simple as, trying to get people excited that there's new features soon coming for free to the iPhone 3G that they're selling?
