So i downloaded the new firmware for my iphone on saturday. Took 17 mins to download via iTunes. Then took another 15-20 mins (wasnt counting) to backup my iPhone apply the software then restore it. Once my iPhone was activated (took another 5ish mins) my iPhone decided to retores again? but failed half way through (lost all my notes and home screen icons) but everything else was fine (apart from me forgetting to tell iTunes to sync my contacts :-s which i have now done).
App store = Awsome!
Few apps i would recomend that i have downloaded:
- Facebook [FREE] <- Must have includes FB chat and nicely laid out!
- Twitterific [FREE] <- Well made app paid for version available aswome twitter app
- iPhone Remote [FREE] <- Apple sofware to controll your iTunes from your iPhone. This is a must have if you PC or Mac is hooked into a good set of speakers and you are in the party situation you can just change the track or playlist from where ever you are in your home (provided you are in wireless rang)
- MooCowMusic:Band [5.99] <- AWSOME APP!!! Rock Drum kit, Funky Drummer, Bass guitar, Grand Piano, 12 bar blues and an audience to boot! These are the instruments you can play with!
- TapTap Revenge [FREE] <- A game similar to guitar hero where you tap one of three coloured light beams to the rithem of the music, good fun and very addictive!
More apps are coming out soon once i get my mits on them and if they are any good ill write about them!!!
While reading info about the new iPhone 3G on the o2 uk website i found this:
If you have an existing iPhone you can still enjoy many of the new features by upgrading your software to version 2.0 from 11 July through iTunes.
you will also notice that if you open itunes it will tell you version 7.7 is available. I can only assume this is so because iPhone 2.0 firmware will require new features in itunes!!!! I would get itunes asap to avoid having to download it while servers are under load at apple. Which would mean waiting longer for the update for your original iPhone!!! NOOOOOOO
Ill let you know once i get the iPhone 2.0 firmware (which i will prob be staying up for tonight!)
i received a txt on my iphone the other day about the new iphone 3g and its various upgrade and contract options. so i headed over to o2.co.uk/iphone for more infor and found out that on the contract im on ill be able to get the new iphone for £99 as apposed to the £159 price for new customers.
