iPhone 2.0 and 3G

[ragboy]

So, I have iTunes 7.7, and I have had 2.0 installed since about 9am. 2.0 is very cool, all the new apps are awesome, and many are free. I can't see how anyone is going to catch up to this.

I plan on giving 2 of my kids our 2 older iphones, and going tomorrow to get the 3G. I gotta tell ya, most reviews say, unless you REALLY want faster speed, the old phone with 2.0 software is just about as good. But I want GPS with all the exploring we do. Anyway, I will let you know how the 3G works.

Anyone else on the bleeding edge?

No but just got the updates to my Apple TV. You can now use your I Phone or I Touch as a remote for your I Tunes or Apple TV!

[ragboy]

yes, but you have to have iphone software 2.0, and the REMOTE application from the app store installed. Its pretty cool.

Yes, I have been running 2.0 since yesterday morning. Love it. They have some great apps. I love the Texas hold Em, can't put it down.

I would if they offered the iPhone on the Sprint Network.

Just goes to show no matter how much money, technology, infrastructure and redundancy you have server(s) or software will always crash. Seems that no one can stand a flood of traffic like that.

Same thing happened with Mozilla with the release of their FireFox 3 version. I also remember cnn.com coming to a brief halt when 9/11 happened.

Haven't upgraded to 2.0 yet, probably a good thing.

CDMA = Sprint

AT&T = GSM

Won't work.

When I bought my Ipod the salesperson said she had a brother who was using an Iphone on sprint

I got mine this AM, and one for my daughter. I want her on GPS, and with a couple of apps, I can always see where she is. They told us to activate via itunes when we got home, about to do that. The computers were hammered. I am up here in chico, and over 100 people in line, all the way around building, but they were prepared. I sent 3 of my kids to wait in line at 5am, and i just showed up for the last 30 minutes. I thought the plastic back, would look cheesier, but not at all, looks great. And the plastic is supposed to help with signal, the metal hindered a bit.

how do you get the 2.0 software? how do I update my phone? just hook it up to itunes?

From my understanding, yes.
