There are a few misconceptions as to how to upgrade your iPhone software to version 3.0.

First off, it is available free to ALL iPhone users and iPod Touch users will be asked a small fee ($10 I think).

How to upgrade?

  • Plug in your iPhone via the USB to your computer.
  • If iTunes does not run automatically, start iTunes. Download iTunes 8.2
  • A pop up will be displayed telling you to upgrade.
  • Follow the on-screen instructions.

Is it possible to Jailbreak iPhone OS 3.0?

You can bet that it can be Jailbroken. :)

The guys from the Dev Team released a “fix” before the launch of the new OS but have kept it under wraps until it launches to avoid Apple patching their OS to prevent the iPhone from being Jailbroken.

Called ultrasn0w, the firmware hack is said to work on all iPhone OS versions from 3.0 down to the very first first version.

Watch this video of how to go about unlocking your SIM on your iPhone after upgrading to iPhone OS 3.0.

Expect the SIM unlocking to be out within 24 hours and I will post an update here with links when it becomes available.

    News, vodacom is not going to support MMS until the next software release (Iphone 3.01?), just spoke to them - SO it would be interesting if someone out there figured out how to obtain native mms support with instructions :)

    @ A non mouse - Well... aaaaaactually... there is a way. @Marcforrest was quick enough to get it working last night and pumped out a VERY descriptive post on how to get it done. Check it out here: http://www.marcforrest.com/2009/06/17/setting-up-mms-on-vodacom-iphone-os-30/
