No i found my ipcc on a thread on the iPhone forum and its the O2 one. It works very well. No hiccups.
I seem to be having trouble pairing my phone to my laptop via bluetooth though which is why i was using USB in the first place. My iPhone wont see any other BT device nor accepts requests from those that see it but thats a BT issue not a tethering one
I love the update. Here are my initial thoughts:
- Tons of little refinements throughout the OS not many people are talking about.
- App store icons load MUCH quicker over 3G, and no longer get "skip apps". A huge bug in 2.X that was rarely talked about. Glad it's fixed.
- Once you select an App, images at the bottom are now all available to see instantly. You no longer need to select the picture to view it. It loads as you select the App and are available to view instantly.
- OS seems snappier.
- GMaps picks up my location MUCH MUCH quicker. Instantaneous....bravo.
- Widescreen typing is awesome, as expected, and feels better in 3.0, than in 2.X.
- Safari loads webpages in WiFi faster. Less hiccups. 3G is about as fast as it was before, possibly a little quicker.
- A site like Dailytech.com, which had slow rendering times in 2.X, renders rather quickly in 3.0.
- Missed calls now show where the call came from on the missed calls list itself.
- If you click on a previously made call, it shows you how long the call was in talk time (not sure if this is new, but I don't remember this)
Lots of more things to go over, but those are my experiences so far.

Dammit see this is the problem with timezones. I'm happily waiting, and reading the waiting threads, posting a couple of times maybe ... go off to sleep around 1am, and wake up to release threads with hundreds of replies!
Oh, and to a frigged activation server

put iphone into restore mode and restore to 3.0This is really annoying now... i wouldn't mind if i could use my phone but i can't!... been waiting for hours and trying now...
As a 1st gen user this **** has gone on to long now... this always happens!
then turn your iphone off and on or keep disconnecting and then reconnecting until it activates
Dont know if it has been mentioned already, but you can now open links in to new tabs in Safari. Thank you Apple!!
No, I was taking a quote from someone who was asking about downgrading to 2.2.1 because they couldn't get 3.0 working for them. 3.0 has been working great for me for a while now.
Hahahahahha, freaking nerds:
I got the download super fast, only to be denied here.
I was getting the same error, when I turned off my airport it actually went through. Try it and see if it fixes your problem also.
Yeah, trust me thats all been done already... just going to have to wait...just annoying when you hear people getting through... never works first time for me
Nope, I have been scouring the forums to find out why it didn't show up when I upgraded to 3.0. I wonder if that is a "3G S only" feature. I can't find any mention either way.
