well i dont want any att plan so i want to get the factory unlocked version, which would work for tmobile. im sad to hear no updates on jbing the 3gs, it would bring peace of mind even if they gave us some kind of idea of wahts going, cause we're really left in the dark.

I understand the camera "touch to focus" is strictly 3gs along with the compass, but isn't there a possibility to load 3gs software onto 3g? or have the programs extracted and put onto Cydia/Icy. I mean ****, Cycorder works beautifully on my 3g, what's so special about the 3gs that we on the 3g can't have it natively?

That is so true... I definitely agree with you on this!

Cycorder does have good quality but it's not up to par for a big name corporation like Apple. That extra 50% on the processor could easily be the threshold for these features to be usable at their standards, like Gizmodo said it's the equivalent of going up a generation in the videogame console world.

SAME HERE! Already have the 3GS but waiting for that jailbreak. You can do it DEV TEAM! No new news neither...

I was waiting for the white on black feature. I use it on the mac I use at work. Makes things cool looking, except youtube videos and stuff.

Battery percentage is a good thing too, I did have it when I jailbroke my phone, but it didn't work all the time. Hopefully this one will stay working all the time.

To get to it you go to Settings > General > Usage
Just incase you couldn't find it.

Battery percentage looks and works great on my jailbroken 3G 3.0

You can get in on your 2g. it's working on mine. you have ti install sbsettings and enable numeric battery.

It becomes a situation of what you think about it. The 3Gs is faster then the 3G, more memory then the 3G, larger disk space up to 32gb, more features then the 3G but it all comes down to wether that is a good enough reason for you to upgrade. Just my tw cents worth nothing else.

mine had it without sbsettings!

I just restored my 2G iphone to a fresh custom 3.0 installation, and restored my backup. I did have the numeric battery option activated in bossprefs when I was running 2.2.1 but haven't installed any jailbroken apps yet on 3.0 .

Think it's kinda lame that Apple only puts those options in 3G en 3GS while the 2G is perfectly capable of having them too. (I'm not referring to the accessibility thingy, couldn't care less about that :-))

[nhlboy55]

and why cant we do this on the regular 3G that we paid so much for.........

[dookie454]

my 3G 3.0 "stock" has battery % right next to the Battery bar.
Completly stock restore from Itunes, no changes. I dont have the settings for it but it shows up on the screen.
