3.0 First Impressions...

**Duvi** · 04-02-2009, 02:14 AM

WoW - First thing that came to mind. I installed beta 2 today (never tried beta 1).

The few things that I've noticed off hand...

The numeric battery meter was still there along the normal one meter. I use the numeric jailbreaking.

MMS... I attempted to send one and it worked to both recepients. They received it fast too.

Copy and Paste... smooth. Definitely better than the Storms. I was copying and pasting in Safari! Awesome.

Spotlight... I'm not going to use it, but it's pretty good.

Double-Click Home... can now be set for the following: Home, Search, Phone Favs, Camera & iPod. I set it to camera. Couldn't help it... it's like my right convenience on my BB.

You better hope apple does not brick your iphone because they are checking to see if you our a developer if not your iphone will useless until 3.0 comes out in June. Only offical reg delevopers can have 3.0 your iphone could be a paper until June.

Actually, you can't activate the phone with 3.0 unless your phone is listed on a developer's account. I'd say Duvi is in the clear.

**BrianW2007** · 04-02-2009, 10:59 AM

I can not wait!

**Vengeance** · 04-02-2009, 02:50 PM

A whole day and no hiccups. I actually think this build is ready for prime time.

Copy and Pasting all day; just because.

Yeah another one loving 3.0 here. If my screen wasnt cracked it might mean me switching back from my Bold. Thing is too, no matter what people say about it, you can just dfu restore back to 2.2.1.

**Chubz** · 04-02-2009, 08:12 PM

no you cant DFU restore back to 2.2.1
It still locks onto the 3.0 baseband. Others have been reporting this. I have tried it myself. You have to quickpwn it back to 2.2.1 but the baseband and 2.2.1 dont talk to each other and you get no network connections.

Im on Beta 2 right now (i have a dev account) and its running pretty stable.

if he's on a dev account device slot he is fine.

**xattica** · 04-02-2009, 09:43 PM

More important, what about push notification (multitasking)? For example running gtalk or Messenger...

Well... it's the app that has to support it.

BeeJive and others have to update it.

**Duvi** · 04-03-2009, 12:12 PM

Now the bad...

I can't seem to send an MMS by taking a photo (through messages). I can take it then go to messages and send from existing.

Landscape mode... there needs to be an option to turn it off. I don't like or use it aside from Safari and it's annoying!

**branden3112** · 04-05-2009, 12:02 PM

sounds pretty great. maybe an early release from apple?

**jhamilton3#CB** · 04-05-2009, 12:27 PM

I'd be using landscape for everything.. the phone feels better in that way for me.

**Duvi** · 04-05-2009, 03:35 PM

Here is one of the copy and paste demonstration. I coped the pictures from safari (google images).

What baseband is 3.0 on? I'm wondering if hypersim unlocks will work on this.

In it's current state it won't.

You have an iPhone

**Andy348** · 04-06-2009, 08:42 AM

Sounds great.

Does this mean that if I have a developpers account (which is free), I can get the 3.0 beta?

Thanks
