Keep in mind that NOT all iPhone Apps are 3.0 ready. I would said give it a week or two, for all the apps to make it through the Apps Store review process.

Yes, Facebook is NOT ready with OS 3.0.


Just keep your fingers crossed that they don’t reference any swears in their apps.

There are rumors on the internet said that the next generation of iPhone/iPod Touch will support:

1) WiFi networking on 802.11n. Current version of iPhone is only supported 802.11a on 5GHz and 802.11b/g on 4GHz. 802.11n is with faster speed and more power saving compare to 802.11a/b/g.

2) FM features. This is not only the normal function to receive FM Radio Signal, but it also able to broadcast FM signal, to your car audio system. Just like the MP3 FM Modulator we are using. Currently still not certain that this feature will be a built-in or it will be an additional plug-in module.

3) Higher resolution image senser for the iPhone camera. It may be a 3.2MP or 5MP camera senser that come with the next generation of iPhone 3G.

4) There may have difference range of iPhone models to grep difference ranges of customer. High range model may be an iPhone 3G with 32GB and 5MP camera senser. Low range model may have low resoluion camera, low storage space, may be without WiFi features.

So, for all of those who think iPhone is not good enough, two to three more months to go, you may have your choice on the new gears.

Let’s wait for the new iPhone/iPod Touch.

Thank you for reading.

As of now, RebelSim v61 is able to unlock:

- iPhone Firmware 2.2, Baseband 2.28.00 (You don’t need RebelSim, Since Yellowsn0w can do the job for free.)

- iPhone Firmware 2.2.1, Baseband 2.30.03 (You need this, or any other turbosim. No way to unlock 2.2.1 without them, as of today.)

- iPhone Firmware 3.0 Beta 2, Baseband 04.22.01 (I have no heard anything out there can do this, except this one.)

So, If you are thinking of upgrading to Firmware 3.0 Beta 2, AND you successed on the jailbreak with the tool that is mentioned in previous post. You will need this RebelSim v61 to unlock your phone to work with your Mobile Service Provider simcard.

Or, if you had mistakenly upgraded to Firmware 2.2.1 Baseband 2.30.03, or Firmware 3.0 Beta 2, Baseband 4.22.01, this is a choice for you. The down side for this is the RebelSim cost you 10 – 25 pounds (depence the package that you choose), excluding the shipping fee to your country. It is your decision to have your iPhone become an “iPod”, or get one of this to make your iPhone 3G alive again.

Thank you for reading.

As we remember, the announcement of the release of iPhone 3.0 Firmware Beta (consider this is Beta 1) was just two weeks back.

What does this mean? One reason, this means that the Beta 1 is having a lot of BUGS.

All of us know that iPhone 3.0 is now possible to jailbreak, but as far as I know, it is still not able to unlock yet. But, even you are having a Globally unlock iPhone, it is better for you to stay on current version of firmware. Unless you are one of the developer in one of the development teams that writes iPhone Applications. Since you will be clam enough if you find out these bugs. An end user like me will only scold and throw (may be, anyone please stop me to do this, if I do…) the phone away.

Let’s wait for a more stable and less (should I say “no”? I think it is nearly impossible.) buggy 3.0 Firmware. I guess, we will not need to wait too long for this day to come.

Apple came out Firmware version 2.2.1 in Feb 2009. There are many people upgraded their iPhone 3G to this version by purposely or mistakenly, and their iPhone can never be unlocked by yellowsn0w 0.98 (still the lastest version as of today 23rd March 2009) which only work for Firmware 2.2 Baseband 2.28.00.

You are able to jailbreak your Firmware 2.2.1 iPhone 3G with QuickPwn 2.2.5-2, but it can not unlock the phone to work for your Mobile Service Provider, since Firmware 2.2.1 will also upgrade your Baseband from 2.28.00 to 2.30.03, which is not support by yellowsn0w yet. You will then have your expensive iPod…

There is another way to make the Firmware 2.2.1 Baseband 2.30.03 iPhone working with your Mobile Service Provider. By using RebelSimcard, or TurboSimcard, or XxxSimcard. But your better check properly on the version that support that. And do put in mind these solution is not a prefect solution. There are a lot of complaints on these solution.

Read it out carefully and decide your move. If you are in this situation.

Thank you for reading this post.
