This may have been mentioned somewhere else, but does anybody know if iCal subscriptions will show up on my iPhone via MobileMe? I didn't know if this was a MobileMe issue or an OS issue. Thanks!

you can install it jailbreak and unlock both work since they were working with the GM yesterday the jailbreak will come out Friday

Dev Team has already gotten a jailbreak for 3.0.

 

[hatcher146]

yessss. I got it!

Sweet. Now time to play! ha.

 

[NinjaHERO]

I guess I know what I am doing once I get home.

 

[ChazUK]

To all those that were fear mongering about the GM buggering up peoples phones, shame on you.

To all that now have 3.0, ENJOY!

Download was pretty fast for me! I am not sure why people are complaining about slow download. Right now it is halfway through installation.

 

[hirshnoc]

crossgrading

is there any way to confirm if this is the exact same as 3.0 GM? any confirmations so far?

I'm crossgrading from the GM to the iPhone 3.0 update, they both weigh in at 230.1 MB. I only have the 3G and I believe the 3.0 for the 3GS is understandably bigger for those who have the phone already, due to the inclusion of addt'l apps.

I'm on a university's wireless network and the download is taking forever.

 

[dilipc]

you lucky blokes! Im still only halfway thru...

 

[oneals2focus]

It's almost done updated my software! Whoooooo.

Took 8:07 to download on my 20mbit FiOS connection.
Installing now.

 

[AngerDanger]

This is an awesome week. Tuesday: school ended, Wednesday: OS 3 releases, Thursday: my birthday, and Friday: official iPhone 3gs release.

Too bad, I have to wait 'till 3am to download this because of my "fair" access policy.

 

[crazedbytheheat]

OK - that was annoying - got an error and am now restoring my phone. Hopefully the backup I took this morning will let me get my info back.

 

[Fafafoooey]

Wiped?

Weird. Nothing was wiped, it just upgraded the OS and left all the apps and all that. Did not do a restore or anything. Nice, but weird.

What is GM people are talking about?

 

[StPatty33]

Installed and ready to use--have to re-sync now though *shakes fist*

 

[pellets007]

How long does the installation take?

 

[bretm]

Yours still works? You lucky dog you. I bought a refurb from ATT and it lasted only about 8 months. Had to buy a 3g, I miss my old phone.
But can't wait to be able to get a 3gs

Mine still works too. Bought it on June 29, 2007. But it's an 8GB. It recently survived a 10 second submersion in my pool as I jumped in after my 2 year old. It also spent 5 or 10 minutes in my jeans pocket while I dried him off and changed his clothes. No problems whatsoever!

Not everyone is a developer nor likes to pirate software

How do you pirate something that is free? Erm... ok

you can install it jailbreak and unlock both work since they were working with the GM yesterday the jailbreak will come out Friday

Unlock comes Friday, not jailbreak. Jailbreak will be available before the unlock. Saw it somewhere.

 

[planethitsradio]

Updating iPhone Firmware... woo hoo! Now to get the unlock for it

 

[mathcolo]

What is GM people are talking about?

The Gold Master release that was released for developers at WWDC.

 

[Metzgermeister]

I downloaded but didn't update. But where is the file???

Waiting on Dev Team instructions for jailbreak...

You can find the file in library/iTunes/iPhonesoftware update (on a mac off course)
