iPhone Problems - 2.2 Edition

If you ask me, I think those problems encountered by a lot of people having those older plastic case MacBooks are pretty serious, especially since - from what I've heard - Apple decided to take out of the warranty replaceable parts list that part of the case that usually ended up with a bunch of cracks on it, even when the notebook saw very light use(not in the US, anyway, but in some European countries). That's just an opening to the real problem we're going to talk about today, the iPhone 2.2 firmware and its own problems...

...because if there's something worse than hardware issues, that's a software-driven headache, believe me! What kind of issues? Well, if you're one of those iPhone owners who wouldn't jailbreak it in a million years, then you can move on to the next article, since we're going to talk about what those guys in charge with "The unofficial, official blog of the "iphone-dev team"." are saying about the iPhone 2.2 firmware and potential problems.

Here's the warning: "Installing ‘2.2’ straight away on the iPhone 3G using the iTunes auto-updater could affect your chances of any software unlock in the near future (should one be found and released), so when you see an update in iTunes await our instructions first!"

If this needs to be said again, let's say it - if you want to jailbreak the iPhone or iPhone 3G you got, I have no problem with that, but be sure to remember that, once you do that, you should also avoid updating your firmware as soon as Apple releases a new version, because you may end up with a not-so-unlocked iPhone for a few days...or even longer!

Well, that's all, folks! ...and remember - "Please don’t blindly install the update and then complain about it later ;-)," as the "iPhone-dev team" said.
