You need to hack the phone to make it work for any network except AT&T. Once you buy we can help you to do so.. 3GS is really good. One of my friend tool from USA without contact. Its damn faster then my iphone 3G. Cheers!

Yesterday, I helped my friend setup iPod touch. After exploring it completely, couldn't resist temptation and purchased 32gb one today
liked audio quality of this new gen touch. It's flat and clean. Got the firmware 3.1.2 by default. Any suggestions in making the experience better?

re: Official iPhone/iPod Touch owners thread

plus i can always check out free apps from the USA app store as now no credit card details are required...!!

btw i didnt get u wen u said dat u have to download and keep the firmaware in a safe place..
wat exactly do u mean by dat??

also..
wen iphone OS 4.0 comes..
can i update my iPT??

I am not sure when you say no cc id required for USA app store. When you register for USA app store, it needs a cc in order to verify your account. You have to provide it. Once the verification is completed, then you can remove the CC details from it, if you wish to do so.

You can download the firmware which is already existin in ur iPT as well as the latest one. If you wish to restore ur iPT you can use the saved firmware to bring ur iPT back to factory defaults. This way, ur not void of warranty.

If a new firmware is released, it should be compatible with iPT too.

is there anyway to JB iPT without tethering it??

Tethered JB is only for the new iPT released after a huge price cut. Yet to get a untethered JB for the new ones. The team is workin on and it should be released soon.

You can keep the iPT without restart as many days as u can. It doesnt affect its performance or functionality. Its now 2+ months since I have restarted my iPT

Welcome to iPT desii. I personally agree iPT is way too great when it comes to touch experience. I personally own HTC Touch and its touch screen sucks big time. You have done a gud job in purchasing a 32GB model and a bad decision in buying the iPT. You should have bought the iPhone instead

In order to get better experience, JB it and make use of the themes and fonts. As well as you can get loads of new goodies only after you JB. Experience it.

re: Official iPhone/iPod Touch owners thread

^^Thanks dude. I already have 5800XM and since iphone 3GS 32Gb will cost above 36k when released, went for this one

and yes, I will have to JB this one. I hate the boring black wallpaper

hw do i download my firmware from the iPT..
also hw would the restoration be done..??
i thought restoration for a JB iPT was just like press a button on itunes and its back to factory settings..
am i wrong here??

and does dat delete all my iPT data..???

and this is how u get a USA App store account..

re: Official iPhone/iPod Touch owners thread

^^ You can download all version of firmware for iPhone and iPT from below,

*www.felixbruns.de/iPod/firmware/

Once you download and save the firmware and when you want to restore, open iTunes, connect ur iPT and once detected, click on it, then click ctrl + restore button in iTunes and it wil prov u the browser window to select the firmware. Once selected, the restore process goes on. Yes, you will lose all data, apps and games. If u have done JB, it wil also be gone. Once completed, ur iPT will be as new as u hv purchased with warranty.

Fishy thou in getting USA app store account. Havent tried it yet.

@desii
Yes, the first thing ppl do after JB is change the wallpaper. Or may be, ppl resort to JB to juz change the wallpaper. (Like I did, Initially)

Hello Mithun
Last November I bought iPhone 3gs 32GB from Dubai. It is factory unlocked (3.1.2 7D11) and working in India with any SIM. You may be knowing that iPhone with Etisalat is locked with their network but from Du it is unlocked. The price was 2950 DHS. I bought it from Du for 3300 DHS as it was with talk time offer. If you get it for 2950 Dhs, would be a good deal! iPhone was out of stock in November. Good Luck!

I hope that a tablet from apple will take the focus from shitty netbooks to quality laptops/tablets.

Hehe. I still go after apple fanboys who go gaga over products like iPhone 3g but I do support products like iPhone 3gs, iPod touch, MacBook pro 13.
And I got iPod touch not iPhone and I had recommended it many times earlier.
Coming to Linux, just wanted to go for it aftr seeing ubuntu 9.10

Yeah, Ubuntu Karmic Koala is a really good OS. I'm also dual booting it with Windows 7.

Coming back to topic, is iPhone 4G going to come out this year? I'm gonna skip 3G S so I'm kinda impatient for 4G.
