Yup. Since it was available for the 3G.

no, since the iPhone became an official in Russia

Had it jailbroken, haven't since I've replaced it twice.
- Mike Nayyar
nay
- TheHenry
yes and i haven't had a problem at all. in fact, i think the reception improved slightly
- Cee Bee
I've thought about it but have never done it. I don't like the idea of having to completely rebuild my phone experience every time a new iPhoneOS version comes out.
- Akiva
Nay. I don't have the time to deal with jailbreaking and patching.
- Bill Sodeman
ME!!!!!!
- Mendy miller
from BuddyFeed
Yes sir, jailbroken is the only way to go. Backgrounder and Qik are worth it alone.
- Nathan Chase
@Akiva - you don't - there's an app called AptBackup that will backup all the apps you download, themes, etc. and whenever you upgrade to the new firmware, you redownload AptBackup, hit Restore, and all your apps are redownloaded, and all your apps and settings are restored. It's fantastic.
- Nathan Chase
Woah, I hadn't heard of that. A may have to do this now. Damn you, Nathan Chase!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- Akiva
@Akiva - haha... now don't get Steven Perez angry by usurping his catch phrase
- Nathan Chase
Nope
- Roberto Bonini
Aye, still 1.4.0 as IMEI is broken too :)
- Yunus Tunak
No way. I want it to keep working.
- Clay Newton
I want to, because I want video. But I keep hoping Apple will let a video app in the app store soon. Maybe I'll wait until my warranty is out anyway and then jailbreak.
- Jandy
I have for using Qik, Clippy and Chinese Input method (not handwriting input). Now xGPS as well.
- Raman Ng
Nay... though I did have a jailbroken 2G
- Carlos Granier-Phelps
Aye, using JB 2G with 2.1 firmware since Feb 08.
- Ekin Arabacıoğlu
Nay... I'm too chicken. I would be the one guy who bricks it.
- David Connell
just got it done yesterday at mass jailbreak session at 360 iDev conference. Nothing like having Chris Hughes break my phone.. Heard that Saurik has compiled his iphone app on the iphone! I totally want VNC server to demo the phone on the mac.
- Dave Orchard
Nay.
- Kevin (aka ThreadKilla)
Yay! There are some excellent pieces of software. Qik and xGPS to name a few.
- Brandon Titus
I now do.
- Amani
And now I also jailbroke my 3G so I could do Qik videos on it.
- Carlos Granier-Phelps
Jailbroken = currently yes. Thought I would leave the 3GS stock, but couldn't resist at least dabbling.
- Patrick Jordan
For discussion on jailbreaking, Ive opened The Jailbreak Room.
- Michel
About to finally jailbreak an OS3.0 3G (not the 3GS), but I've been jailbreakin' since it was uphc'ing... ;-p oh and to add... I don't really feel the need with the 3GS now that I have native video, although I do miss sbSettings and those quick toggles and with no VoiceCentral/gVoice it could be a possibility...

@jcunwired: I played with a Pre. It's nice. iPhone will kick it's ass. Frankly, so will the new BB's which is what Palm seems to be targeting.

When did you place your 3G S order? I put mine in to Apple on June 10th, and it's not showing as shipped yet; trying to judge how fast they're processing...
- Paul Skudlarek
Mine was scheduled to arrive on Wednesday. Checked again this morning and it changed to Thursday.. Let's see if it changes again to Friday.

I can't wait!!!

Lucky you, we can't preorder in Canada :(

Uh, not sure displaying your tracking number is a good idea. That's about all it takes when requesting a package redirection - and that's pretty tempting!
- Anil Rhemtulla
Mine says it will arrive on the 17th, which is tomorrow. I don't know how, since it hasn't left china yet
- Nate T
I'm scheduled for delivery on the 18th... order placed June 8th. God... sounds like a baby... Cheers
- Ross W. Prout
Ordered mine on the 8th and no shipping notice yet. :-\ As for iPhone vs Pre, it'll take awhile to fully see how the apps change the Pre since that's the iPhone's key right now for me.

I'm really not understanding the i-phone thing. Frankly, I think the phone sucks. I hate the keyboard touch, I can't imagine a woman in this country with a decent manicure wanting to deal with that crappy screen! I have service at home with Verizon in the countryside where we live, my husband's crappy I-Phone drops out about ten miles from the house and not only that, the piece of crap is constantly dropping phone calls. Is the bay area better?
- Jennifer Ragde
Boys like their toys, Jennifer.
- Jeff
I love toys as well, I'm just not getting the I-phone thing, I have a DS, PSP, I'm a seriously geek game girl, just not getting that horrible phone. I can't be the only girl that thinks that touch screen is completely awful! The touch screen is so sensitive, if you have fingernails, good luck!

Actually the ████████ moves really ████████ now. Plus, you can ████████ to ████████ and ████████ Scoble. The new UI is ████████ and wait until you see ████████ and learn to build ████████ which are a lot better than anything Facebook has announced and not shipped.

funny story. i learned to program using a TI-99/4a. but there were no books out for it. so i bought one on programming the Timex Sinclair. i didn't realize that each company had their own 'flavor' of the BASIC language. i was baffled for the first few hours, then caught on (this was before google, too!). by the time i was through the book i'd gained a kind of 'meta' model of programming languages and i was hooked. still hooked, too.

How much stuff are you backing up? Doesn't it get expensive?
- Rafe Needleman
from twhirl
Likewise! I absolutely LOVE Jungle Disk and I've been using it since sometime last year. I have a total of ~50GB backed up and only update/backup 1-3GBs a month (if even that) and the money I'm paying each month is negligible.
- Philip
Don't try backing up your photos, music and home videos though. If you really lead a digital lifestyle, you'll have thousands of photos, lots of music and lots of GB of home videos (hey, my Kodak Zi6 fills up 1-16GB every time I plug it to sync with the computer). Hard drive space is dirt cheap (1 TB for less than $100) but try backing up to Jungle Disk, you'll go broke. If it's worth having, it's worth backing up no? Until I can backup a TB or more online and afford it, this is of no use...
- Odi Kosmatos
For the record, in 2008, I had successfully backed up my most important 650GB to Keepvault.com (it took months to upload) and the price was $100 per year. But at the end of the year they said "Sorry, our unlimited data backup plan is being eliminated.". It was too good to be true...
- Odi Kosmatos
Yikes, using the calculator tool above, it seems storing 1 TB is $3000 a month. I could buy one 1 TB drive a day for that price and bring one off-site to my workplace every morning, indefinitely, for the same price.
- Odi Kosmatos
It's not about storing terabytes of data, it's about storing essentials away somewhere else. Think safety deposit box and not self-storage sheds.
- Erik Garcia
Me personally, I don't have that much digital media to store, but I do have mountains of source code I'd rather not lose which I back up with a couple free online storage solutions on a regular basis. If you're a digital photographer or a podcaster or movie maker, part of _your_ job/business involves being responsible for maintaining archives of whatever 'knowledge work' you generate.
- Erik Garcia
I have about 70GB up on Amazon too, but I'm about to reduce it down to my 4 + 5 star images only.
- Ryan
@ Odi: 30-35GB of the 50GB that are backed up on Jungle Disk are pictures & music. My music collection doesn't grow that quickly and neither does my photo gallery so what you're saying isn't the case for everyone. The most I've paid with a ton of uploading is maybe $8 but usually my monthly bill is $1-2/month.

Who is "Moshiach"? What's the religious ideology here -- Chabad-Lubavitch? Some other group? Apparently you believe that Moshiach is going to destroy all your enemies? Is Moshiach on the side of McCain and Palin vs. Obama and Biden? I'm just trying to understand your views. Enlighten me.
- Sean McBride
If you cannot even answer me with the proper context for my comment why should I bother discussing Moshiach with you? Suffice it to say Moshiach is on G-d's side and G-d love all mankind, including Obama and Biden. Those who suffer are those who turn away from G-d by their own free will. But if you are sincerely interested in Moshiach, Google will tell you more than I will.
- pitlord
from twhirl
Pitlord -- to which religious group do you belong? Chabad-Lubavitch? I got the impression from reading your posts that you believe that Moshiach intends to punish, torture and murder quite a few human beings. Didn't you assert that Christianity and Islam are false religions?

Pitlord: If I understand "Moshiach" correctly, he is the Jewish Messiah, he will be a world-dominating military leader, he will be the head of a world government centered in Jerusalem, Israel, and he will eradicate all religions except Judaism, including Christianity, which is founded on the myths of a false messiah.

@Kamillah - I understand if you don't wish to debate, but I will clarify: I do not believe that I am a descendant of what people would call apes. I believe that all animals and living things can mutate and evolve to adapt to their surroundings, sure. If you wear a pair of shoes that don't fit long enough, you develop callouses, for a very small example. Even as a Christian, who believes he is a child of God, I accept science enthusiastically.
- Josh Haley
Josh: you're in good company. Scientists don't believe humans descended from apes, either, but that there is a common genetic ancestor between all primates. I guess if you have a misinformed view of evolution, it'd be pretty easy to discount it.
- Mark Trapp
Josh, I don't really get your view of evolution as it relates to God's divine plan either: are you implying that God let evolution play out randomly in everything but humans? That's not exactly a Christian worldview: I don't know what that is. God doesn't leave things to chance: Christians who hold evolution to be fact still hold that God shapes evolutionary paths.
- Mark Trapp
I think we're straying from the key point here though and that is that integrating a religious theory into public education goes against the basic tenets of America's founding. If we're going to do it, we should be ready and willing to, for example, begin teaching Islamic Sharia law in civics class or numerology alongside fractions. Well that last one's a bit of a stretch, but you get my point.

excellent point Carla, and it'd be a cold day in hell before most people in the US would be cool with Islamic teachings in schools, as much as some are clamoring for more "religion" (usually code for Christianity) in schools and society in general

If McCain is trying to bait voters just because Palin is a woman, the GOP is dumber than I thought. HRC supporters who consider McCain will HATE her. Her policies and beliefs are the opposite of their own.

Actually I'm hearing the opposite from friends who supported HRC going for McCain-Palin.

I describe myself on my Facebook profile as 50% atheist and 50% agnostic. That's a little bit tongue-in-cheek, but it's also 100% accurate. I received a moderately religious Jewish education as a child, and was taught that the Biblical creation story was a *metaphor.* I was taught this by religious people who understood how powerful metaphors are, how they are not lies or untruths but extremely useful tools for imparting understanding. Most of the Christians I know who are my age were taught the same thing.

And yet for the past quarter-century, the U.S. flew back to the past on evolution, going back to the pre-scientific view that it was God what done it. I don't know why that is, but I know that the people leading the backwards charge are slickers in thousand-dollar suits, and that it has always served the needs of powerful people to have hordes of followers who are kept ignorant and stupid.
