The 3G-iPhone is coming… so what to do with my unlocked iPhone 1.0 now?
June 12, 2008
First recommendation - wait.
Next - do nothing until you find out what the options are. Will your unlocked iPhone be able to be upgraded to v2.0 and remain unlocked? The Jury is still out at this stage and may be for a while… The real question is, will anyone care anymore?
Reviewing the iPhone - 8mths on…
May 16, 2008
With the imminent release of the new 3G iPhone, I have been thinking a lot about my current iPhone - which I bought back in October last year. And I have to say, it still rocks for me!

So, if you’ve unlocked your phone, in spite of the temptation… I highly recommend you don’t upgrade at this stage. So far, the only thing we know for sure about what’s in this release is that it contains ‘bug fixes’, and that the current hacking tools (e.g. ZiPhone) only partially work.
iPhone WiFi Problems (aka greyed-out “No WiFi”)
February 23, 2008
It appears a number of people have run into this particular problem on their iPhone: for no specific reason their WiFi stops suddenly working… often with a very low battery life (approx 6hrs) and the phone itself getting hot when in use. Here’s what I have discovered so far about this issue…
