they must have discovered unplugged holes these hackers could use to unlock the 3g n now they're patchin it with the excuse of some reception bull s. Now for the 1st gen ifone they not even tryin as they said; they update it too just so it doest fall behind from the 3g.. They're not makin big changes like .3 fw was compared to previous versions.

on mine's takes a loooong time like close to 2 hours to back it all up!!
maybe its becuz i have like more then 100 apps.. but still when i uninstall aim for example n install it again from itunes i have to enter all the details again... so much for the "back up"

i have no idea how that gonna work!
so it would use wifi to retrieve messages for example from aim n display a notification even tho the app is closed? Or do we have to have a legit contract with at&t to be able to use push services.? some one enlighten me

So since I just used the quickpwn tool to jailbreak my 3g 2.0.1, should I not do the 2.0.2 upgrade? If I do, will it brick it or just bring it back to factory? Also, my phone just did a backup in itunes after the jailbreak so will it try to reinstall all the jailbroke stuff from my back up?

The reception and 3G to EDGE hand-off is alot better but still not 100%. iPhone also snappier.

I think it is so dumb of apple how everytime a new version comes out, we have to download that 260mb package AGAIN. I think apple should really work on just making us download the changes that they've made instead of downloading a quarter of a gb everytime. This sucks for people who just don't have good internet due to the fact that they are stuck with a stupid 3 year contract.

Yeah I have a 1gb bandwidth limit, so thats half of mine this month from apple today, because whenever I try to pause, when I unpause, it is at 0

It's not dumb at all. This is a firmware update and it would be EXTREMELY impractical (not to mention dangerous) to provide this as a delta update. Imagine you are patching the firmware and something happens (like the battery goes dead) your phone would quite possibly be in an unusable state. Frankly, I don't know of any mobile hardware devices (PC's excluded) that isn't updated from a full firmware release.

It seems you are in the 1% minority that are still on a dial-up line? For the majority of us it takes < 3 minutes to download the firmware so why do I want just a patch when I can get a fresh firmware install?

wow that really sucks

[david77123]

they really need an updater like windows update. I guess it would make it easier for the hackers to jailbreak and unlock, because they could just have a look through to see all the changes.

2.0.1 was only out for how many days? lol apple is pushing it...

Unfortunately this is going to get even worse in the future. To the majority of us a 260mb download is no longer a big deal. Just 5 years ago 260mb was a ridiculous amount to download. Now it's probably only 3-5% of someone's monthly quota. For those in areas of limited or expensive bandwidth I feel for you but Apple is catering to majority.

precisely (amongst many other reasons) why apple doesn't do incremental updates.

You sure it's actually downloading something? When i pause and start over, the portion i downloaded is reverified (it shows downloading at a pace way beyond my internet connection would allow, but i think it's just verifying that part of the file is already there) then as it hits the point i stopped it at, slows down to my actual internet connection speed.
