[xtech]

well u followed it but did u
1) rebuild the currect firmware file?
2) Also did u have it pwn itunes?

show we a pic with GPS on google maps wukking

[Bezman]

no data so i dont think GPS will work, I also dont know what service/satelite it would pick up locally.

pretty spot on though

[tr1ad]

lucky bastard

[Bezman]

as i mentioned on the blog,

iphone 3g buyers

see how mine has service, this is because the sim card/contrat is still live, so it is actualy AT&T phone number roaming on Digicel (or bmobile)

please swap in your local sim to check for service with those seller who claim their iPhone 3G is "uhum" Unlocked

mine is locked, and is roaming, there is NO software unlock at the moment of the iphone 3G

but it sweet too bad.. make ya old phone look like a bata bullet

[xtech]

no data so i dont think GPS will work, I also dont know what service/satelite it would pick up locally.

pretty spot on though

HAHAHA he posted his location
now that i know the location of a local 3G iphone

u will be getting a visit from some very bad men later.........

[Bezman]

if you can use that pitiful map to find me then you probably don't need one to find me..

thats just the closest cell tower actually, it's off by a bit when I am home.

[xtech]

i thought GPS dont use cell towers.................. but GPS nav sats in space

I just installed an application called "Shazam" which is free from the App Store on 2.0.

You start the app, point the iPhone by some speakers playing music for a few seconds, and the iPhone tells you the name of the song, who sung it, the album it was on, shows you a pic of the album cover and a few links to download it from iTunes - I've tested it with about 10 songs and every one was spot on exactly correct!!!

that is freakin amazing!
I tried it from the very beginning of songs to the chorus to mid verse to the guitar solo - it got all of them - from just a few seconds of music.
Everything from Air Supply to Buju

lets see your walkman phone do that!

glad you stepped up from 1.0.2 duane

allot has changed huh??

yes, I feel like I was folded up under a rock

I'll add to the cluelessness: I've been trying to find a workaround to purchasing on iTunes and the AppStore. I have a "hacked" iTunes account that I got from an online redemption that allowed me to use "None" as the credit card, I used this account to get album covers and freebies - it works well with the AppStore to get the free apps - however I cant purchase the good stuff since iTunes wont accept my international credit card even though I have my Miami skybox address attached to it.

So far Kesvetc had a good solution which was to purchase iTunes gift cards from Amazon - Amazon accepts international credit cards.
However they all seem to want to ship the physical card to me. Including the Apple Store. Is there a way to use an international credit card to purchase an iTunes gift card and have the code emailed to you? Waiting for them to ship the card so I can scratch the back to see the number is so 1985.

AM I missing something that should be otherwise obvious?

oh and GREAT work on mytriniphone.com RS200 - you are spot on and up-to-the-second!

[tr1ad]

someone upgrade meh iphone

u can buy itunes gift "certificates" that get sent via email. but it's thru itunes only so i'm guessing an international credit card would still be useless here...

[Bezman]

triad, i told ya i'll do it for ya for free, PM me.

thanks Duane, i too use itunes gift cards, if you sign up for mobile me you'll get a free itunes account. then you can use itunes gift cards too, best thing to do is buy a 100 usd at a time, that way you can budget ti and buy a few aps and some movies on itunes.

thanks for the compliments about mytriniphone, its fun

[RASC]

Oh My Good Grief...I read through this entire thread...and I'm still amazed at the amount of hoops you guys jump through on a daily for basic stuff included on most unlocked handset's out there. Bordering on the freakishly nerdish

I guess it's cause most of us (you) are involved in the tech industry in some way so this stuff is some what exciting, but honestly do you ever get tired of it sometimes?

Still waiting on my 3G tho
