Dont see why not. The only issue that may come up is the data plan for the iPhone. They may want to tack that on to your other line.

So has anyone went from a jailbroken iPhone 3G with 2.2 to a jailbroken iPhone 3G with 3.0?

I don't need the unlock since I am with AT&T.

I went from Jailbroken 2.2.1 to 3.0. Waiting for Quickpwn to come out to jailbreak since I don't have a mac, and can't get the work around working,

The jailbreak is the easy part so I don't think you need to worry much. Right now jailbreaking it is a little harder than double clicking so wait no more than a week and I'm sure Dev Team will come out with a program, probably QuickPWN, that is simple and less screwing up on the user end.

Ya that's your problem. I heard the Dev team was supposed to launch a new quickpwn today, once 3.0 was out and couldn't be changed by apple to stop their unlock. They must be a little behind.

Yeah I was just wondering. I don't want to lose any files on jailbroken apps so I'll wait (videos on cycorder, categories folders, etc)

I'm definitely not gonna jump the gun, I plan to wait at least a week after quickpwn is out before I upgrade. 3.0 doesn't really offer anything I can't wait for. I hate typing on the landscape keyboard (typed all of this on the regular keyboard). I was taking a look on iClarified and it appears people are having issues with pwnagetool.


If someone can tell me a way to use MIDI ringtones on this phone I will paypal you some cash!!

AFAIK the iPhone doesn't play MIDI but if you found a MIDI to MP3/AIFF/AAC/WMA/ETC converter you could eventually get it to an m4r file.

if your iphone is jailbroken you can get a program called bossprefs or sbsettings (through cydia) and set the settings to change the battery indicator to percentage. At least thats how I do it.

it's a new feature of 3.0 but I've looked everywhere to try and enable it but can't find it. I've seen pics of it so I know it's possible

The battery icon in the upper-right corner shows the battery level or charging status. You can also display the percentage of the battery charge (iPhone 3G S only).
looks like the only way for 2g and 3g is to jailbreak.

The biggest problem is extracting the MIDI files out of this file I got from my palm treo. Also, I haven't been able to find a converter that works on a mac.

wow, they really updated the stock market app

where the graph was in 2.2.1 they have pages you can swipe to.

in landscape mode you can use multi touch to find out how much a stock has moved between your 2 fingers.

Well I just read a lot of people getting dropped calls and having problems with their iPhone that they didn't have before. Remember how yellowsnow had wifi problems with the new 2.2 release? Everytime Dev Team pushes out their release, it's prone to have bugs and so I try to wait it out until they patch it up.

Are you guys using an Intel Mac, PowerPC Mac, or Windows operating system?

Did you you use redsn0w, yellowsn0w or pwnagetool?

I have a PowerPC + 3G so I'm waiting for reports of a flawless transition from jailbroken 2.2.1 to jailbroken 3.0. AFAIK redsn0w is not compatible with PPC so I guess I have to wait for quickpwn... no biggie.
