re: Official iPhone/iPod Touch owners thread
You bought yours from Malaysia right? I suppose you need to unlock it before you can use it in India. For that you need to jailbreak it.
As Dreams quoted 38k. 3G is officially available from AirTel and Vodafone at 27-28K. Are you asking for the grey market price?

re: Official iPhone/iPod Touch owners thread
That's great! I could not find the unlocked version around here and on ebay it was like 45k and I had read some reviews where people said that they just unlock the iPhones with BlackSn0w and sell them as Factory Unlocked. So, I went ahead with the Australian version. It's all the same with just a bulky charger LOL. I just need tethered J/B for the time being. Do you have the US version?
I have AirTel Mobile Office. No data plan. I was thinking about getting MTNL 3G but their customer service is so pathetic! I'll wait till AirTel launches 3G.

re: Official iPhone/iPod Touch owners thread
^^ he paid 38K buddy.
@Sunny
I believe iPhone does use the internet often and AirTel MO will not be sufficient for it. Meaning, the charges would be high. I am thinkin of getting the data plan, which has 500MB free of r12 months and 30p/50kb later.
Also waiting for 3G from AirTel.
BTW, today I am gonna JB.
Til now you havent answered my othr qn, hw do u rate iPhone after/b4 JB. Please do. Will decide on ur experience whether to or not to Jb.

re: Official iPhone/iPod Touch owners thread
Yeah, I'm gonna give AirTel CC a call today and ask about their data plans. Have you considered MTNL 3G? I have but their Customer Service is downright pathetic.
Jailbreaking is always fun. To be honest I haven't bought even a single app from the App store yet. I'm gonna try 'em all out and buy the best of them when iPad comes out. I think you should give it a shot. Just check you iPhone's serial number first. The third digit shows the manufacturing year and the following two digits show the week number. If the week number is 40 or above then you'll need blackra1n to jailbreak as they have fixed bootrom and you need to tether everytime you reboot your phone. If it's before week 40 then redsn0w or pwnage tool would do the job.
The QnA section has been changed to 'read only'. Believe me buddy, that was my favourite thread. I'm thinking about creating a new thread for all the Apple discussions. We can keep track of all iPhone, iPod Touch and Mac users over there. What say?

re: Official iPhone/iPod Touch owners thread
As you may see my siggie, I already have a iPT which was JB with blackra1n. I should admit, I knew some basics abt Jb and its stuff. Cos, I have modded my iPT to the fullest. Right from changing theme, fonts, display words et all.
Mine is 2009 manufactured and falls in the 47th week. Tethering makes me scared, cos, my iPT is also the same which falls in MC category. No un-tethered till now.
I have d/l some of the imp apps from Apple in iPhone(Ofcourse free ones). But in iPT, I have all those games and apps(From cydia/rock and obviously the pir@te world).
So, I assume, after u Jb with blackra1n, no significant issues in usage. Can u confirm?
I do not think of changing the number right now, cos, I will be re-locating soon to my homeland Chennai. Once done, will see if AirTel or Aircel has 3G or will go for BSNL 3G.
BSNL back in Chennai is gud, and all techies working there(Shockingly all techies there are 50+).
UPDATE: Jbn successfully. Yet to install Cydia and Rock. This weekend will be dedicated for exploring 3GS and its potentiality.

Does iTunes fail to recognise unlocked iphones? Mine failed to register with itunes with the following message:
The SIM card inserted in this iPhone does not appear to be supported.
WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, that's the case with locked iPhones running unsupported SIMs. Unlock your iPhone and it'll be all back to normal with iTunes.

re: Official iPhone/iPod Touch owners thread
i just got my iPod Touch 3G a week ago..
and yesterday i noticed that my firmware is 3.1.1 (7C145) and not 3.1.2..
so i downloaded 3.1.2 but when i try to update (by pressing shift + update) it refuses to update..
so what is the diff between 3.1.1 and 3.1.2..
can 3.1.1 be jailbroken by blackra1n??
also should i try restoring by 3.1.2??
is that safe??

Download 3.1.2 for your iPod touch from this site.
*www.felixbruns.de/iPod/firmware/
Open iTunes, navigate to your iPod Touch, press Alt+Shift and click on restore button and selected the downloaded file. You iPod will be updated to 3.1.2. Then jailbreak it using blackra1n.
Blackra1n does not unlock an iPhone. So, i suppose your iPhone is still locked.My iphone is unlocked via BlackRa1n. This problem just popped up

I'd suggest you to update your iPod Touch to 3.1.2 and Jailbreak it using Blackra1n. Yes, Blackra1n can jailbreak 3.1.2 iPhone/iPod Touch. Do not update to 3.1.3 as it can't be jailbroken yet.
Download 3.1.2 for your iPod touch from this site.
*www.felixbruns.de/iPod/firmware/
Open iTunes, navigate to your iPod Touch, press Alt+Shift and click on restore button and selected the downloaded file. You iPod will be updated to 3.1.2. Then jailbreak it using blackra1n.

re: Official iPhone/iPod Touch owners thread
i tried what u told me...
but still it says "the device isn't eligible for the requested build."
fortunately nothing went wrong and all my data,apps,settings and stuff is still there..
now what do i do??
i googled this issue and found out this..
Try forcing DFU (Download Firmware Update) mode, which is different from recovery mode because it doesn't load the iPhone OS. Here's how you do it:
To enter DFU mode:
1. Connect your iPhone to your computer with iTunes open.
2. Turn iPhone off. You may have to hold the power and home buttons down together to force the phone off.
3. Once the phone is off, hold the power and home buttons together for 10 seconds exactly.
4. After 10 seconds, release the power button but keep holding home until the computer recognizes that a USB device was plugged in (you should hear the 'bonk', but nothing will appear on your iphone screen). When you hear that, release the home button.
5. iTunes should detect your iPhone in DFU mode, and also allow you to restore to the factory default settings. The iPhone screen should also be black when it's recognized. If it shows the iTunes logo with the cord, then you're in recovery mode and should start over at step #2.
is this what i should do now??
or should i just go ahead and JB 3.1.1 using blackra1n??
