this just leads me to believe that jailbreaking is detectable even after restoring or getting a new phone, as long as you sync your back up in iTunes to the phone.
i had a jailbreak setting on my original 4GB iphone carry over to my brand new never jailbroken 3gs, didnt even realize what it was until i jailbroke my 3GS.

Since the iPhone 4 will be my first iPhone, I have a neewbie question. Does the phone automatically seek a wi-fi connection first or do you set it for wi-fi?
If so, I'm thinking if getting the minimal dataplan as I'm almost always under a wi-fi free cloud.

if you set it "ask to join networks" it'll pop up a list of wi-fi networks in range that you can connect to.
after you connect to a network the first time, it'll automatically join everytime that network is in range. (unless of course its become password protected or off line)
its pretty much the same as a laptop or desktop with a wifi adapter.

I think stopped by the local AT&T Store and all the pre-orders are sold out... I think I'm just going to wait... I'm going up to Vancouver (again), and will be there for like 3 weeks in July anyway... I wouldn't be using it much at all anyway (while in Canada)

Thanked 17 Times in 3 PostsExplanation of the AT&T Order Status Screen
I posted this at the end of another thread last week - but I think it might be worth reposting here:
I spoke to an old college buddy last week. He works as an operational manager at the AT&T Wireless Central Distribution Center outside of Arlington, TX - and he said that this whole thing was (obviously) a nightmare and he was in the office for 48 straight hours.
He explained the vague terminology of the AT&T status system. Apparently there is no stock in the CDC right now, but Apple is (and has been) transmitting databases of S/N's in batches of 35,000 to AT&T. He said Apple is the only hardware vendor that operates this way prior to a launch. They wait until the last possible minute to hand the hardware over to AT&T in order to prevent early leaks.
When your status reads "PROCESSING" without the "BACKORDER" flag, it means that your order number has been married to an iPhone S/N, it will be shipped in the first batch, and you will likely receive it on the 24th.
If it does have the "BACKORDER" flag, it means that they received the order, and they anticipate enough stock for the 2nd or 3rd wave, but they have not paired your order number to the S/N of a phone (and this is changing day to day as they wade though the system) - so if it says BACKORDER now, it might not next week prior to the fulfillment launch.
If you have an ALERT flag (which looks like a red exclamation point) that's bad. It means that they oversold their anticipated stock (since automation went down several times they were processing some orders by hand in stores) and you might not get your phone until July.
The long and short of it seems to be, if it says PROCESSING you're going to get the phone on launch day. If it has the BACKORDER flag, it MIGHT come on launch day (or the flag might clear between now and the 23rd) and if you have the ALERT, you're out of luck.
He also said there were thousands of duplicate orders - so right now a lot of the confusion comes from matching up the right capacity phone (16 or 32) to the right order. This is apparently being done by hand - so anything can happen to any order.
Hope this helps shed some light. Take it for what its worth .

Ha, ha... and ATT wanted $499 to ship an iPhone on July 14th and my upgrade is July 19th at $299. They won't budge but the bastards probably couldn't deliver on the 14th anyway.
I swear. I'll get insurance and break the phone in the first week.

So FYI iOS 4 comes out TODAY!!! I'm gonna try my damnedest not to upgrade. Apparently a lot of apps don't work with multi-tasking so the first few days are gonna be hit or miss in that department. I'm not updating cause my 3G can't do multi-tasking and it will probably harder for me to put android on it if I upgrade so I'm gonna wait till my new phone arrives on thursday.
it'll bring back data.

But if the apps don't work with multitask, they'll still work right? I'd like to get it ASAP but I know that the install will be a bitch. The sooner they come out the better. I just wish custom SMS tones was allowed with a jb. I'm sick of my dinner bell.

The hassle only exists for the early adopters, if you wait a couple weeks, it' no hassle whatsoever.
