iPhone 2.0 and 3G

[da.bell]

Doesn't Apple sometimes allow people that bought a device <3 months ago have the ability to upgrade their products free of charge???? I know they did it with their OS but what about the Touch/iPhone's OS????

[da.bell]

Why does Apple have to charge for an update to the OS of the iPod.

Microsoft does not charge the people but Apple does... Reason why I am not an Apple fan... They try and take it from anywhere they can.

My on 2.0 software... I have an 8GB first gen. I finally was able to upgrade late yesterday... After bricking the phone for most of the day...

I've had my phone lock up 3 times in the 24 hours that I've had the new software installed...

I do like the 2.0 software when it works... I love the new apps and can't wait to start playing with them a little more...

I highly recommend the Light Saber application...
(Which is free BTW...)

My Review

Let the 3G stew for another year, unless you REALLY need it. First, its only in the city, still edge everywhere else. 2nd, it REALLY drains the battery.

With my first iphone, I could easily go all day, even with wifi and BT. If I was camping or something, I could turn off BT and wifi, and get at least 2 full days out of the thing, amazing. If you have 3G and BT on the new iphone, by the afternoon its dying. I turn 3G off most of the time. I like having the GPS, which is great, but other than 3G, that is the only real major difference. I am happy, I am terminally addicted to the bleeding edge, but I would stick with the old iphone for now, and here is why:

The BEST thing by far with the new iphone, is the new software. It really is the bomb. The new apps are amazing, and more to come, many are free. You get all of those great apps with the old iphone.

Just my 2 cents.

I hooked up my touch and it said it was the latest version, but also on the apple website there was a link to buy it.

so technically if itunes wasnt so packed all I would have to do is hook up the iphone to itunes and it would automattically like usuall???

Yep. You need to download the latest version of iTunes. Install that and hook up your iPhone. Click on check for update under the Summary tab once the iPhone is connected. Should prompt you for the 2.0 update.

Once you have iTunes 7.7 you can see and browse the app store.
