because us iphones are network locked, currently there is still software available to unlock these, however, this will not always be the case, so at some point you will no longer be able to upgrade to the latest software

rather pay the bit extra for an officially unlocked vodacom iphone

and if you're looking for the 3G, not 3Gs, they're not even that expensive

I recently bought an iPhone 3GS from US / Canada. Apparently the device is Factory unlocked... if this is true I don't know, I'm only getting the device tomorrow, but if that's the case, will I be able to use push notifications?

Yeah, the USA ones are not factory unlocked, but i THINK the Canadian ones are.. Can't find the link atm.. If that is the case, push notifications would work yes.

That is a link to the speck cases. Yes i got the grey and green one, im a sucker for bright green

But each to their own. If they had black and green, i wouldve taken that rather! But I still think its nice!

Nope, you won't be able to use Push Notifications on unlocked iPhones. You will be able to unlock OS 3.0.1 and jailbreak it, but no Push will be available.

Hopefully it's factory unlocked! Where did you buy it from, eBay?

 

[FaNIX]

Actually it doesn't look bulky, I just had a closer look! Damm, I just ordered the BodyGaurdz protection stuff, but this case looks awesome (Black & grey). Are they available locally?

Yes, bought it from ebay. Seller said it was Factory unlocked, and he sold more than 50 iphones this month and only got good feedback... what application is quick to use to test push notifications?

Most vodacom stores stock them. R300

 

[rsi boy]

Oh and its not to bulky at all. Watch the video on the site.

cool, because I see it's a bit pricy on wantitall.co.za http://www.wantitall.co.za/PC-Hardw...ase-for-iPhone-3G-3G-S-Black-Gray__B002FU5TOK

Importing it from www.speckproducts.com will cost about R500, eish!

Have anyone seen the Black & Grey one in a vodacom store? Really interested in buying one...

[limnos]

Cannot believe VC has no stock of the 3Gs! They don't even have an estimated date?!

 

[FaNIX]

Yea it sucks, thats why I didn't bother and just imported mine...

Works for me. You have to turn it on in settings once its installed. Which repo did you download it from?
