My friends are all starting to get this Ping! app. Its supposed to be like Blackberry Messenger but for iPhones. Personally, I don't understand what makes it different from any other instant messenger app on the iPhone. The reason why BBM is so successful is that its built into all BB's, and works without a data plan, and works while roaming but without cost. As far as I can tell, Ping! uses data, and unlike BBM it cannot run in the background, it must be actively running for you to receive messages.

is there any reason for me to JB 3.1 or w/e is the current firmware?

i havent been JB for quite some time now, and the only features i really used were the customiziation apps, not really anything else, anything new i should want?

It uses Push, so you'll receive messages even when the app isn't running. It's similar to most IM programs for the iphone though. Tried it today, meh....I'll keep it on my iphone but probably won't be using it much anyways. It will not be as big as BBM or even close to it imo.

Unlimited SMS + other IM program on my iphone is enough.

Reading the description of the ping app it says you don't need a data plan which is misleading unless they are talking about using wifi only. The person you want to message also must have a iPhone or iPod touch with ping install so your contact list is going to be very limited. I don't know why everyone is going crazy over this. Maybe because it's free

ping sucks for the iphone, i don't know if it's just me but it takes forever for me to receive the message. texting is much faster

Yup only works for pre pwned phones though. I should try it on my mac.

Also. There is no unlock for 3.1 due to baseband update which is why pwnagetool works. Ultrasn0w won't work with 3.1 radio and who knows how long it will take them to crack it.

many thanks, ive been phoneless for 3 weeks now

edit NM here it is: http://www.xsellize.com/showthread.php?t=65374

this will only work for people already jailbroken on 3.0 or 3.0.1

3.1 users, you're Shit outta luck

Lol. Guess you found it already. Yeah it's as simple as creating a custom IPSW to preserve the baseband. Actually. For fresh outta the box 3.1 users I think you can downgrade to 3.0 jailbreak then apply 3.1 custom.

no you cant. if you don't have the ECID info (for 3.0/3.0.1) stored on Cydia, you can NEVER go back to 3.0 or 3.0.1

lucky for me my phone bricked when i was still on 3.0.1 it was still JBed so i could update. good thing i held off going to 3.1 (nearly did out of desperation)

there isnt a JB for brand new phones on 3.1 and up.

i can't even go back to 3.0 or 3.0.1

it's not cheaper, just the device itself determines the data usage consumption.

For example,
If the iPhone and the Blackberry was playing the same video from youtube.com, then the amount of data sent and received would be more on the iPhone than the Blackberry.

If you can get a 3GS with 3.0 or 3.0.1 firmware you're good to go.
