Hmmmmm.......
Sorry but if you already have an IPHONE 3G and are planning to get in line for 3 days you really have to wonder what kind of life you are living.

Does anyone know what time of the morning Apple is going to begin allowing users to download the 3.0 iPhone update ? What have they done in the past?
If I stay up, will I be able to download it at 12:01am ?

I have 3.0 (7A341) on a 3G. How do I get the notification to appear below the wireless to appear on my phone like the above screen cap? I have read these posts and can not find how.

I believe you need an app that uses push.
Seriously? Why would they wait until so late in the day? That would be like 7pm eastern!
Why would you spread your opinion like it's some kind of fact?
No one knows when the download will be available. Asking is pointless, folks.
There was one update that was released shortly after midnight or 2AM EST. They can come at anytime with Apple.
I want to pull the trigger and upgrade my 2G to a 3GS but one thing is stopping me...Those pesky rumors of a reduced data plan with a possibly lower data cap. I wish they would come out and flat out deny that because once you sign your 2 year contract to get the phone you pretty much would be screwed in trying to get the lower priced plan right? Also they better not include some incentive for signing a contract and adding tethering when they come up with those price points.
99% of all questions in this post can be answered by visiting apple.com. some just plain common sense.
Honestly the unlimited data plan is not that expensive, especially considering the competition. I think tethering will be in a price scheme similar to text messages - separate from the data plan. I wouldn't worry about it - incentives will only show up once AT&T loses exclusivity, which won't happen for a couple of years.

You can modify your rate plan at anytime via the AT&T website without modifying the term of your contract.
CalDAV Syncing, FINALLY!!!
I set up CalDAV syncing w/ Google Calendar, for like 7 different calendars (only not excruciating because of copy and paste, heheh!)
And, well -- it works!
It's only unidirectional -- it only pulls calendars from the server, you cannot edit events or create new ones on the phone, and push those updates to Google. :-(
However, it's a start! Not sure if I'll use this, or the web-based front end that Google's been providing for a while. Hmmm.
Copy and paste does work very well though. :-D

EDIT:
OK, so I decided to look at the iPhone-optimized web front end, which I haven't really looked at for months. This is the one via www.google.com and signing in, not calendar.google.com. Anyway, it's way better than I thought, and you can edit events to your heart's content. So much for the iPhone-native calendar app. Apple provides!

You can set up a push account with m.google.com in order to get full calendar support with push.
All I want is the ability to send email from a MobileMe alias on my iPhone. I can do it from Mail -- why can't I do it from the iPhone? According to Apple support, this will not be a feature in 3.0 - I'm bummed.
postscript
Support for my subscription calendars in iCal would be nice as well (I think that this is being addressed?)

You mean two-way? Or just server push to iPhone?

EDIT: Never mind, I looked, but I really only want to sync calendars, not contacts... it appears this prevents you from using OS X's Address Book as your contacts app?
