you should be able to put 2.2 back and then unlock it. But have to get into restore mode from the phone then select firmware 2.2 and flash it instead on 2.2.1

How much data do you typically use on your iPhone?

I'm considering getting the $30 data plan for 1GB per month usage. Is that enough for surfing on websites and listening to online radio? I'll rarely use youtube.

Im pretty sure that the baseband is irreversible. You can always downgrade to 2.2 from 2.2.1 but your baseband will still be on 02.30.03 and yellowsn0w will not work with that.

I have the Old Iphone essentials data plan for $30

500mb data
visual voicemail
caller id
10,000 text messages

the new essentials data plan is the same but costs $5 more but you get unlimited texts. I'm only browsing craigslist or ebay when I'm not on wifi so I barely use data. 500mb is more then enough for me.

JSALES 02-25-2009 09:39 PM

i kinda wish i had got the blackberry storm instead.. haha, the iphone doesn't look that appealing to me anymore

i have the 6gb $30 plan and i only use a few hundred mbs per month, some months i barley use 100mb. i only use data for a few apps and google maps, web browsing, email (3x imap accts), and the occasional youtube video (uses about 1mb per minute).

w00tgasm 02-26-2009 12:11 AM

I used 200mb when I had the iPhone.
Now I'm doing 130 with my Bold...

1GB should suffice for whatever device it is.

how do you setup your phone so you can connect it to your laptop and using the internet connection? I have 6 gb monthly and use about 200 mb so I'm not really scared about going over the 6gb.

no you can't. Baseband will not downgrade if you flash back to 2.2 . It will still be using the baseband from 2.2.1 and thus can't be unlocked.

if you go into cydia, the "sponsored" app's, there's a tethering program that claims to be the simplelest one to setup, i was gonna try it but havent yet

Gu3s5 02-28-2009 03:02 AM

I was wondering if anyone had this problem. Ive had my iphone for about 2 weeks and ive noticed dust particles underneath the screen!!! annoying as hell. Will Fido replace? Mines jailbroken too!! Id have to restore

w00tgasm 02-28-2009 10:20 AM

Mine had stuff under the screen.
Call Apple, they're easier to deal with than Rogers/Fido.

They're replacing mine.

can anyone recommend me a good case to use for my iphone? i don't like the one i'm using right now, it feels too bulky

w00tgasm 03-01-2009 01:19 AM

What are you using right now?
And what style are you looking for?

JSALES 03-01-2009 01:25 AM

i'm using a griffin brand one. i'm looking for something sort of more slim and with a screen protector

Armind 03-01-2009 02:36 AM

Anyone using this Belkin case? Any good? Price? Quality?
