I have no clue about where Mr. Hartvig aka one of the Umbraco Twins is getting the title for this video from…. 😉 but him message is both clear and loud – and it just makes so much sense – don’t support Apple’s closed system!
A new speed test made by medialets shows super speed by the iPhone 3GS and a very improved speed by the iPhone 3G when using the new OS 3.0 – in a SunSpider 3d capability test….
I would have loved to see my old iPhone 2G included in test, too… but no…
But the fact is that OS 3.0 makes the iPhone 3G around 2,5 times faster than with the old OS.. which also makes the 3G nearly 2 times faster than the G1 Android…
And the “winner” is iPhone 3GS – 3 times faster than iPhone 3G with OS 3.0 and more than 5 times faster than G1…
Without seeing the stats for my old iPhone 2G with OS 3.0 (which I btw am very happy about – less crashes in Safari..) it seems like I better invest in the 3GS when it comes to Denmark – seems to provide a bit of a boost…
Sorry my childish joy, but after I upgraded my iPhone I’m amazed by the amount and quality of the iPhone Apps – this post is written in the WordPress App and it really works smooth!
I have been trying to avoid upgrading my 1. generation iPhone’s firmware from 1.14 to 2.x for quite some time – knowning (and reading) about all the problems of upgrading has kept me waiting… just call me a wuss but I have been very happy with my iPhone’s apps like calendar, notes, even the camera, so I was rather scared by suddenly having a locked iPhone because something might go wrong in the process of upgrading to firmware 2.2, jailbreaking and unlocking…
Anyway tonight I decided to allocate the 2-3 hours (who knows) to make the upgrade, jailbreaking and unlocking and I must say it took some times (2 hours or so), but it went really smoooooth!
Following the guide on vildmedmac and using QuickPwn from DevTeam it was just soo easy! Thanx to DevTeam for making this great tool – and now I suddenly went from firmware 1.14 to 2.2 – looking forward to find some time to get some new apps in my iPhone – seems like Cydia has a lot to offer or paying a little for some stuff from the Apps store…
Upgrading my iPhone 1. generation to iPhone 2.0 software
July 23rd, 2008 | Posted by in iPhone - (1 Comments)NOT!
Been looking at some of the guides out there (on the Internet) describing how to upgrade the ‘old’ iPhone from version 1. software to the new generation 2.0 software and the following comments from users about looping, problems with calls (rather important for me), old iPhone apps not compatible and no access to contacts ect… so as with every new releash of software it seems like its good to wait a bit… for the company to sort out the bugs!
I’m certainly happy with my ‘old’ unlocked iPhone, so….
Finally some Telco in Denmark decided or manage to end a negotiation for getting the iPhone to Denmark – and it turned out to be my ‘old’ employeer Telia… so now we just need to wait for Telia to tell when.. and I certainly hope it will be the 3G with a load of new features… otherwise I’ll just continue with my ‘old’ iPhone which btw still works really good…
The iPhone is really great in many ways – the mobile phone works great (it better do for a phone… 😉 ), but it was somewhat a bitch to get the contacts transfered from my old Motorola… do ask if you cant transfer your contracts transfered…
The browser is cool, too – and it works great together with any wifi netword – yes, I dont use it too much on the mobile net…
And the email-part works great, too – you can connect to any email account you have.. and access them individually… soo nice, but take care dont look to often…
Yeah, the iPhone does offer a lot of great applications, BUT WHY the f*** did Apple decide to LOCK it to the damned iTunes… its really a bitch moving music… you can only move music (that you have bought on CD ect..) from ONE PC…. yes, only one machine sync’ing… sooo smart Apple.. NOT. So nothing like moving music from the folder on your PC to the music folder on the iPhone.. no no, that would be fare to easy… HMMMM… and that means that you need to hack your iPhone to change the background… sounds like a joke, but it isnt…
The upside is that now I need to spend hours (read: days) in forums and find different tools to improve my iPhone… to be able to change just the background… back to nearding… Just found a tool to make my own ringtunes and then I can sync them to the iPhone with iTunes (yes, the folder exchange would be to easy for an Apple product..)
More to come…
