Can I Upgrade iPhone 3G To 5.0.1 & Jailbreak It?
I'm sorry guys if the answer is really obvious but I can't seem to find it, I'm sick and I have medicine head, and I just need someone to feed me the answer this time. I've got an old iPhone 3G that I'm using as a demo phone at work, it's got ver 4.2.1 on it and it's jailbroken. I need to use Exchange and it requires the next version up, so I figured why not go to ver 5. However everything I've found by Googling I can't seem to find anything that talks about ver 5 on 3g, is that possible? If so are we talking redsn0w, greeposi0n, corona? If someone could just point to me to a tutorial link, I would be greatly appreciative!

Apple feels that 3G doesn't have enough ram to run iOS5 im guessing.

From how the iPhone 3G slowed down with 4.X they are probably right on this one.

iPhone 3GS aren't too expensive nowadays. Wouldn't be costly nor a bad idea to upgrade to it and sell that 3G if iOS 5 is vital for you.
