iPhnoe software update already?

[johnwin]

I'm currently downloading a 225.1MB 'update' to my iPhone 3G!

This is after authorising etc. without a problem this pm then about 10 goes at syncing this evening [uk]

What gives?

Would that not be iTunes downloading version 2.0 just in case you need to restore?

It is newer firmware - its about a .2 build higher than the one on shipping iphone 3g's

The iPhone 3G comes shipped with firmware 5A345, which is the same as the 8th developer beta. Apple yesterday released firmware 5A347. That's why you're updating.

I'm a fellow iphone newbie - I don't know - the phone would not sync for an hour or so then said it wanted to try restoring my phone but had to do this huge download first

 

[johnwin]

after all that it cannot restore due to an 'unknown error' !!!!!!!!!!

This is why the version released yesterday (and everyone including me downloaded and installed) was listed as 1,2 as far as hardware goes. The original iPhone is hardware 1,1.

Glad I was able to get the version for my phone today, but you would think that Apple would have a way to not allow the software install as it's slightly differing hardware than what it expects.
