It is really important to do your research before you ever update your iPhone 3g, well that is especially if you are unlocking your iPhone 3g or ever just jail breaking it.

Now you may be scratching your head and asking why? It very simple let’s take the last few apple iphone 3g updates for example.

1)2.1 -2.2 now I am sure you all know about the iPhone 3g 2.2 update … this is the one where your turbo sim stopped unlocking your iPhone … we all loved that didn’t we … *(I Sure didn’t) that is when I had to put my iPhone 3g aside for almost a month, and all my friends were asking me David where is the iPhone you spent $700 on eBay? … Dude it doesn’t work for now ,,, and I had to explain all about the iPhone 3g updates and jail breaking and unlocking the iPhone 3g and all… as I am sure you can imagine it was no fun. Then in new years the dev team came out with the soft Yellow Sn0w unlock the … witch at the end everyone had to update there iPhone 3g to the 2.2 with the Modem firmware 02.28.00 to every make the soft unlock work.

2)2.2 -2.2.1 Not long ago apple came out with the 2.2.1 iPhone 3g update with the Modem firmware 02.30.03 , Now history repeats its self. If you didn’t read all the warning online then you made the update to 2.2.1 with 02.30.03 firmware witch cants be unlocked with a soft unlock but only with a turbo sim.

Now on top of that you may say, “David what happens when i update my iPhone 3g to 2.3 or v 2.2.2 ?” Well get a programmable turbo sim for your iphone 2.2.1 update then when a new update comes out for your iphone then all you have to do is pop the turbo sim in the USB programmer and wala your turbo sim is ready for the iphone 3g 2.3 update : )

I am an iPhone 3G owner myself and I hope this helps you in the future.

As the iPhone 3G is linked exclusively to O2 Broadband, there are huge advantages to owning one - not least that you’ll put yourself in line for arguably the best broadband deals currently available.

Here’s three reasons why bagging an iPhone 3G could be the best broadband decision you ever make:

1. Being an O2 mobile customers means you can get REALLY cheap O2 broadband

Owning an iPhone, whether on contract or Pay As You Go, entitles you to a sizeable discount on an O2 Broadband package, in addition to exceptionally fast and unlimited broadband at home and unlimited internet usage.

O2 Broadband’s enviable high-speed broadband packages (and we’re talking up to 20Mb here!0, when taken with O2 mobile contracts, ensure that you pay at least £60 a year less than you would pay for O2 broadband on its own through another mobile phone provider.

2. O2 broadband has a REALLY good reputation

O2 Broadband is one of the fastest broadband providers in the UK, besides being one of the cheapest, and considering the generous discount on broadband that O2 gives its mobile customers, it is streets ahead of its competitors - really no contest.

O2 Broadband’s packages comprise Standard 8Mb, Premium 16Mb and Ultimate 20Mb options and cost O2 mobile customers as little as £7.50, £10, and £15 a month respectively.

These packages really do offer amazingly good value when compared with other current favourites.

3. O2 Broadband offers LOTS of extras

O2 Broadband’s packages are all unlimited and also have a more generous fair use policy than most other providers.

This cuts out the possibility of having your connection throttled at the busiest times, and allows you to download music and movies for your iPhone pretty much at will.

Customer service is free and operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. For a limited time the connection charge is also free.

Believe it or not, there is a free wireless router thrown in with the O2 broadband package and by using the phone’s WiFi capabilities you are able to surf the internet on your iPhone, whenever you stumble across a wi-fi zone.

Generously, O2 Broadband comes with a 30 day money back guarantee, should you decide it is not for you. This lets you try it out for a reasonable time without any financial risk at all.

Considering the quality of the connection, we’re unsure anyway has ever had to cash in on this!

Conclusion

The O2 Broadband/iPhone 3G combination package, with its bargain prices, shouldn’t be missed by anyone who may be at the end of their current contract and is looking for a great broadband deal.

It would also suit anyone who wants to make full use of the unlimited internet usage to surf at home or on the move - as well as having a gorgeous gadget in your pocket!

I know you have all probably seen this question plenty of times before, but I just want to make sure you understand all the risks involved before you consider jailbreaking or unlocking your iPhone 3g 2.2.1.

Fist thing is first, you want to back up your iphone 3g : )

If something were to go horribly wrong while jailbreaking your iphone 3G 2.2.1, or something afterwards, you will have to resore to your newest back up.

The worst thing I can think of happening is if your computer crashes in the middles of the jailbreaking process. (So far that is not happen to me) but if it douse then it could potentially cause problems.

I have jail broken my iphone at least 10 times and crashed it about 7 … and so far I have had no problems resoring my iphone 3g.

So what I am trying to say is, you don’t have a high risk of bricking your iphone 3G. the programs are pretty simple … and you got a low chace of really breaking your iphone.

For thouse of your that what to unlock your iphone 3g, when you update to v2.2.1 with 02.30.03 firmware the only unlock is by turbo sim.

There is no soft unlock for v 2.2.1 .

The iphone 3g turbo sim’s are getting better by the day so it is important to get one that is updateable with a usb programmer.

Just to sum it all up ,,, you can update to v 2.2.1 and jailbreak your iphone just make sure you get an turbo sim for the 2.2.1 update
