No guarantee but it could fix your speed problem. You can't remain on 3.0 for ever - just so you don't lose your 'hackulo' apps. If you SSH into your iPhone you can copy over all the .IPA files you have downloaded - assuming you used Installous to download them. The best approach is to download your .ipa's on your PC and then sync in iTunes.

Yes I have installous and SSH :p and will do what you said thanks

Okay I am sure some of you are going to RIP me another orifice :p but I have to ask.

I tether my iPhone 3G to my laptop and never get GREAT :D speeds.

Am I wrong in thinking that the Apple iPhone 3G is HSDPA compatible? My brother has a Samsung Omnia and live next door and get upwards of 2.5 mbps I on the other hand never get above 1.5 mbps.

3G supports an older version of HSDPA, 3GS is the first iPhone with full hsdpa support

I use BeeJive with about 7 of my GoogleTalk friends. Haven't heard of this WhatsApp. Don't understand how it works... How would one 'add' a buddy? Just waiting for my gift card voucher to arrive in my inbox from MediaWob and I can then purchase it. Apple really need to introduce a BBM app for iPhones...

WhatsApp and Ping are basically iPhone versions of BB Messenger. I just prefer WhatsApp. Why do I prefer WhatsApp? Well, for one, in Ping if you delete a conversation it will remove the contact from your list and then to send them a msg you need to remember what there username is. In WhatsApp anyone in your regular iPhone contact list that has also registered with WhatsApp will appear in your list :D:D
If you loved BB Messenger then give them a try :D

the VC network cant handle the high speeds though so really of no use

You'll be surprised. In general the Vodacom network can be quite cr*ppy. But at my house I have an AWESOME 3G tower - the most stable 3G tower I have ever used!!!! I never, and I mean NEVER get disconnected. If I download from iTunes late at night I download a meg in like 3 seconds (that's a 50Mb music video in like 2 and a half minutes!!) :eek:
This is when I use my E272 though (activated for 7.2 on the device and on my SIM). :D

Just incase anyone was super quick and went 3.1.2 already, which if you value your future unlock/JB is not a smart move .... devteam warning from
http://blog.iphone-dev.org/post/207705127/3-1-2-and-you
3.1.2 and you?

I have successfully JB my 3G with 3.1 that fxit uploaded for us. No issues what so ever. Took an entire 20 minutes :) :) :)

Yea FW worked great!. Just remember that I was upgrade to 3.1 by iTunes first, then back down to 3.0, JB with redsn0w, then tonight I just put into white DFU mode and shift restore!

Thanks again fxit_man!!!
