I hope it comes out in an hour
!! And what if I have the beta? Will it install overtop?
J-Wil im sorry but you would have to downgrade from 3.0 to 2.2.1, therefore no you will not be able to overtop the update with you're beta. Sorry.
not fair! I wanted 100!
101!!1
Ok if it's released at 12:01 EST only 50 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!
YO ISKYTHE, IM RIGHT WITH YOU BRO, DUDE what do we do when its 12:01 do we restart itunes or replug in our iphones and wait for the update to go in? or we get it from the apple website lol?
so it looks like i got 42 min to downgrade
good luck j-wil! hurry ur running outta time LOL
it better start at 12:01, I got to be at work early and this is past my bed time!
ah i really hope its 12:01am EST legit. that would be so convenient for me=]
what do we do to update the page of itunes? are we re-plugging it or downloading it form the apple website?
Ha ha im hurrying...It better be done by 1201 or im gonna be pissssed...and there better be more shit packed in the update then the GM. Cause the GM sucked
CANT WAIT FOR 3.0! All we have to do is click the "Check for updates" button. Simple, yet elegant
FYI 35 Minutes!
I AM SO EXCITED. idk why though... i think i am the most excited for landscape texting/emailing
what are your favorite features of 3.0, everyone?
what makes you think it would be at 1201am EST? That would only be 901pm pacific time. Which would make it released on the 16 and not the 17th.
copy paste, stereo bluetooth
well by the time 12:01 strikes Pacific time.. it would be the 17th. your thinking is flawed, because the Pacific coast would not get it at 9:01pm....
we'll all have to wait and see.
yeah.. what is so good about stereo bluetooth? i dont really understand the whole buzz about it... will i be able to play music through my car's bluetooth, since it lacks an aux port?
out of everything im most excited about the MMS feature, which i have the carrier settings to enable it to. SOO CHYEAA CANT WAIT TILL 12:01.
what do you mean.. i thought ATT was not going to release that right away?
Flawed? which part is flawed? they cant choose which timezone its release in first. Oh wait Apple has the power to only update one seaboard at a time. I forgot
Tards, that's a good point. Oh well, if it's not at 12:01 I'm gonna go to bed. Not worth it to wait for 2am CST...
i got the motorola stereo bluetooth set and music comes only on one side, is great to be able to listen to my tunes without cables
yeah. if its not at 12:01am, ill have to wait until the morning
the real morning, that is.
so any 1 downgrade from 3.0 to 2.2.1 at all??? Little help?
J-Wil, I am assuming you have the 3.0 Developers' Beta?
yes
20
Hello! I am looking for contact information for my local Apple store! Am I in the right spot for that?! This internet is getting too large for my old age to handle...
Uh... where are u located ....?
pinksandals go to apple.com and they will help
WHAT?
yes youre right its 20 mins until midnight. then add 3 hours and we might then get our update. Not that we will actually get through. do you remember last year trying to activate your 3G. took me hours to get through itunes. Millions + people doing the same thing at the same time.
apple.com! Ok! Thank you very much! Sorry I did not know what BB was saying with "Uh..." Seems rude to me.
Thanks again!
couldnt activate in att store because the servers were jammed and slow like brand new windows based PC
lol pinksandals.
Tards, what time was the 2.0 update released? I don't remember
@pinksandals give it a shot i suppose -- i can help you locate the store in boston
its so coool that in 15 minutes, we will know if we can get the update at midnight or not! haha, i am on the east coast. where are you all?
at the same time as the iphone 3g. 8am it was available.
ok... hopefully this one will be different :/
east coast.. yes.. plz.. midnight.. altho i swore i wouldnt upgrade right away.. what if it has major bugs.. or activation dies
New jersey. aka as shole of the world
east coast same here, hohohoBOS. assuming you're from Boston, yeah..?
hohohohoBOs
that will give me good reason to go grab a 3Gs
lol @tards
so who wants to email it to me when it comes out since i wont b able to upgrade with 3.0 already on
we'll post/update here if it comes out im gonna load up itunes in a few
Boca Raton Florida!
Has anyone got the update yet?
yeah.. so since i am currently running 2.2.1, all i have to do is plug my iphone in and "check for update" ?
@BB aye, just past the end of the runway at logan -- really hoping it is midnight release or else i am passing out
is the update at midnight for people in california????
im also wondering if XBOX live will come back on after their seemingly lame update that had to take exactly 24hrs or more. W T F I need codwaw fix
Boca Raton, huh! Well you have the warm weather, I'd say. up here in boston, its still not as warm as it should be :/
@doc
no one knows at this point
@Tards?
alright thanks. im really hoping it is at midnight. that would be sweet!
@hoho
i live on cape cod!
Michigan is starting to heat up. Was about 80 here today
bill gates is probably posting in here wondering when he can update his iphone . hes got a zune case covering his 3G
If they are unlocking the update "one seaboard" at a time, doesn't that mean that the UK would already have theirs, like 5 hours ago??? I bet it rolls out @ 12 PST Everywhere... which would be 3am for all the ESTs out here
only time will tell!...
Wow, in MA, it was only 62 today. at least in my area
@tards? U mean COD: World at War ?
hahahahahhahaha im sure Tards? is right. hahahhaha he probably has 10 iphones
i hope it has more things in it that the GM did and beta. What do u guys think?
@BB niiiceee
what an exciting night.. must be so nerve wracking to actually work at apple right now.. so much could go wrong no?
i was kinding about individual updates for continents. its a one time thing. steve jobs is in bed getting read to press the little red button with the plastic case covering it sometme soon
will anyone stay up until 3am eastern if it doesnt come out in 6 minutes?
@saheb117
world at war yes sir
@ J-Wil We will know when it comes out! Apple claims 100 new features
My dad works at apple
he helped design the new 3.0 update
@BB
maybe. I took off work tomorrow for the update. haha. and call of duty. more hahaha
is it coming at midnight? like in 4min at my time.
.
@ harry
then why dont you ask him when it comes out
@BB if i stay up that late only so i can risk bricking my phone with the rest of the zombie insomniac hardware fanatics, i hope at least at&t is going to support mms right away.. does anyone know if they will???
HARRY ASK YOUR DAD WHAT THE RELEASE TIME IS!
My Dad said it should be coming at 12:01am at all the differant time zones so GMT should already have it
He invented the spotlight thing

@ hohohoBOS
everyone including even apple says not until late summer early fall
