Jailbreaking/unlocking has nothing to do with the phone, it's all about the firmware. The new firmware will probably be jailbroken, but then you get into the new system Apple has in place.

Seems like they will have their eye on everything that's going on with the phone. So who knows if they'll be able to detect jailbroken phones, preventing people from... who knows.

I'm sticking with the first gen. Just not worth it.

Yeah but mad, if you like myself and the thousands of others that had to DFU a phone because of some glitch or another along our travels from 1.02 to now we had to reactivate via iTunes. Will this now be impossible if we need to activate only through AT&T directly? or once the phone be activated will that carry over to iTunes and be able to re-activate? That I thikn is what was meant. If not flog me now

I believe even when they do "in store" activation it will be done via iTunes just like it's done now.

Yup, and if what the rumors I've been reading are right, they don't even need to physically remove the iPhone. They'll have a scanner that can read the back of the box (where your serial/IMEI and other information is), get your account information and you're done. You plug in to iTunes and it'll connect to AT&T or Apple or wherever it is it connects now for verification and you're done.

I really don't think the in-store activation will take as long as some thing. Especially on contract extensions since they already have your information.

i'm surprised that apple will not sell the phones individually like they did before. Despite that there will be enough people getting the 3g iphone, i feel apple will lose money by not selling it individually, which might change regardless if they have a partnership with at&t. i myself am indecisive whether or not to renew my contract with at&t. i think i "try" to be patience for a month to see how things progress

Wait Does This Mean That The Itunes Store Will Work Over 3g? Well Since It Has Nearly The Same Speeds?
