None that I know of, but there are random units which come out of the box with issues, but that's extraordinarily rare.

It can't detect SIM contacts. As for your WiFi problem, maybe try another WiFi hotspot? Doesn't sound like your iPhone likes WiFi though...

Yeah, I iPhone is messed up like that, haha. Took me atleast 1.5-2 hours to find sources and figure this problem out, hahah.

Firstly, you'll need to sync your contact from your phone/simcard onto your computer - Microsoft Outlook.

I used Funambol to sync my contacts from my computer onto my phone wirelessly (So.. you'll need to fix your wifi problem )

Read more about Funambol here.. http://www.funambol.com/solutions/iphone.php

You'll also need Funambol installed onto your iPhone (Your phone must be jailbreaked to install it)

Theres probably an easier way.. just wait for more replies

You don't need Funambol to sync contacts, as iTunes does Outlook >> iPhone just fine, but wireless sync is très cool.

How to get your contacts on to an iPhone is that you'll have to copy the SIM contacts from the SIM to your old phone and sync your old phone to your Outlook. Of course, that's assuming you have Outlook and your old phone can sync to your computer.

Was there anything you ate or drank (or smoked) at your buddy's that wasn't normal? Sounds way too "Outer Limts" for me hahaha

GreenMachine, you'll likely have to wait a little while before an unlock is out for an out-of-the-box 1.1.2 iPhone, as none exist as of right now.

Did you get a text message or just a pop up message?

Maybe the previous owner changed the "Battery Low" text to "iphone has a virus please contact fido" xD

i was browsing CL and found this simcard thing. i found 2 of them actually. one for 99$ and one for 120$

i don't know if it actually works but supposely what it does it it turns your simcard to make it think that its actually a AT&T sim.(well the post i originally saw, seems like its already down)

if it works then it seems to be your only best bet.

I should have jumped on the bandwagon earlier... doh! Haha!
I was at the Alderwood Apple Store on Friday, they had a whole bunch of WK44 iphones which are 1.1.1. WK45+ are 1.1.2. I'm thinking they are either very close to running out of 1.1.1's, or they are out by now. Check the serial number before buying.

There are plenty of PC guides there, but it's not under the "Guides" section for some dumb reason, but in the forums under the "Unlocking" section.
