So we can't help but notice that Apple still hasn't officially released
iPhone software 2.0 for first-gen iPhones, even though most
self-respecting gadget freaks have pulled it from the
direct download links
that popped up earlier. Since the file was hosted and available on
Apple's servers around the time it was expected for release, it seemed
safe to assume that it was legit -- and indeed, it (for the most part)
works fine and plays well with the
newly-live App Store.
But a few of us here have had persistent problems on our first-gen
iPhones: interface lag, crashing apps, hard resets, you name it. On top
of that, we're hearing whispers that the .ipsw in question was meant
only for 3G phones and not first-gen units -- and bizarrely, the build
number of what we've got is 5A347, while our launch iPhone 3G is
running build 5A345 on them. So until Apple stops being, well, Apple,
and clears this all up, we're putting it to you: how are things going?
Any problems, or smooth sailing? Happy you took the early plunge? Let
us know in comments!
