I live in Italy and I own a 2G jailbroken model I was presented with in march (by a friend o’ mine coming from NYC), which I definitely love. But don’t you think it’s kinda ridiculous such an advanced device doesn’t provide copy/paste and real bluetooth features?! I was hoping 2.0 upgrade would fix this but as it seems it’s not.
No, 2.0 is not for me at the moment. My 1.14 Jailbroke iPhone does everything I need and more. Its the single best piece of hardware/software I’ve ever invested in. Until 2.0 is anything like it, I’ll be staying 1.14.
You say that mobileme costs 99$ monthly after the 60 days trial.
At apple.com/mobileme it says “One-year subscription
$99”.
99$ monthly would be extremely expensive…
It is $99 per year.
Brooke did u buy ur new 3G iphone or not yet ?!?
i think u would better let Douglas to buy it and u wait until its broken :P
Nope, we don’t get our iPhone 3G’s until Friday morning at 8:00am. We will be streaming it live.
we are getting our iphone tommorrow here in belgium, as the law forbid to sell with a contract, they will be all UNLOCKED for about 600€ (16gb) and 500€ (8gb) but we can just use them with any of our three providers, not bad, myself i ave a NY 8gb one, and maybe change it for a white 16gb (legel one) i’ll see, i am on the list at the apple store for one. We are the only country where this law is put on Gregory (gmlens@telenet.be)
How can I prevent itunes from automatically upgrading me to 2.0. I have yet to go use iTunes and sync my phone today because of my lack of this knowledge.
iTunes will tell you that there is an update to firmware 2.0…it will then give you the option to upgrade or not to upgrade. You can choose not to upgrade. Just make sure you choose the right option! :)
i have an itouch, if i upgrade to 2.0 will i automatically get the app store or will i need to pay for it?
you pay for the upgrade which has the app store :P:)
I’m looking to buy an version 1 iPhone on eBay (for the cheaper monthly $) and most of them are jailbroken.
If I get one of those and try to update it to 2.0, is it going to brick the phone or is that a thing of the past?
Thank you.
i dont think so cause nothing can affect it
Yah i think im going to stay away from 2.0 for now. My 1.1.4 jailbroke iphone is a thing of beauty. I have no problem syncing my calendar, contacts, etc from Outlook when i am at work. I can dl plenty of games off Installer, FOR FREE. Plus there are so many other things in Installer that 2.0 doesnt even have! (streaming Sirius for example)
I would suggest to the jailbroker 1.4 community to hold off until we know that 2.0 can be jailbroken and all our fav 3rd party apps will be available on that software..
Hmmm…Well I am going to buy a 16Gig iPhone 3G on Friday. However, I am still going to use my 1.1.4 16Gig iPhone with all of its sweet apps, etc. Now I am sure that after at least a week or 2 that the iPhone 3G will be jailbroken. This is an opinion of course. Meanwhile, I will be carrying 2 iPhones on me LOL. Rediculous I know. But I love my current jailbroken 1.1.4 phone. I will simply use my 1.1.4 as a Wifi kick ass iPod Touch. And use my iPhone 3G as a phone. Once I find out it is jailbreakable I will switch over. Of course we will all still have to wait and see if all the sweet Installer Apps will be updated for 2.0.
I think the App Store will be a nice addition. But I still hope that Installer and Cydia will still be an option as well. Let’s not forget that App Store Apps will not work or run in the background thanks to Apple. However, Installer and Cydia downloaded Apps WILL run in the background (I hope). I remember reading somewhere that the iPhone 3G stays in constant contact with Apple. Was that to check that there is no App running in the background? Or for something else?
Thanks for all the great info!
Sticking with 1.4.4 for now though.
One feature I really care about:
Video Playlists. Are these in the new firmware? I never understood why these got stripped out from the original firmware.
All I really want is the option to text or email in landscape mode
haha i think 2.0 is full of crap.
not much diff compared to 1.1.4.
dont u guys agree?
some of the new features are not even useful to MOST of us i must say.
lol
Is the actual springboard app in the store or an app like MIM, because for me, that makes my iPhone different. If I can’t customize, then the jailbreak will stay.
So, I guess, I should wait as well to upgrade mine to 2.0 huh… Any of you know how to change the icons on homescreen?? I’m not talking about the themes tho…
There is no way to change the icons on the homescreen other than by using the Customize or Summerboard apps within Installer on a jailbroken device that I know of. As far as firmware 2.0 is concerned- I think I’ll give it a try- I can always go back to a jailbroken 1.1.4 if I don’t like it, but I trust Apple has something interesting in store for us..
u can ssh to iphone and go to /applications/app and enter in the app you want to change the icon, then put the icon as icon.png and replace the original….
Good luck
I upgraded and lost all my apps but i like the new 2.0 much better. Even with just the free apps availible i use my iphone much more. The gaming capabilities are extrodanary and dont compare to the installer games.
something weird i noticed i have a contacts icon on my iphone.
