We have been waiting for hours, but the iPhone 3.0 Update is finally here. The download in iTunes started by saying that it will only take 5 minutes, then the time started to get longer and longer, in all it took about 15 minutes. I can safely say that mine has now finished downloading and did not experience any problems.
I am surprised that my download and install went smoothly, I remember the last iPhone OS update; I had a number of issues and had to use the backup function in iTunes to get my phone running again. After downloading the update again, all was fine.
A number of our readers reported that they had nothing but trouble with iPhone OS 2.0, a number of them said that they were receiving an SSL error. Let us know how you got on today by adding a comment below.
My iPhone is now up and running with the new software, and a quick glance shows that all is fine. In the past users have reported bricked iPhone’s and iPods after installing new software, if this happens to you we would like you to share the details and give tips for other users.

Yeah I just updated and I lost all of my contacts as in never to be found again, however I still have all of my apps fortunately. I can honestly say if given the chance again I would have never done it the features that you gain aren’t even close to the essential items that you loose, I mean shit you don’t even get MMS and that was the most important thing in my opinion.
You DO get MMS, AT&T and several other carriers just don’t have it enabled. That’s not Apple’s fault.
My app icons are all gone, but if I do a spotlight search for a specific app it commes up, so it is still on my iphone, but the icon is gone. How do I get the icon back?
The download and install took a little over 15 minutes. It went well and no problems here!…. Where’s the “Voice Command”????? Lia
For whatever reason, Apple decided that the iPhone 3G couldn\’t handle the Voice Command app, and it is therefore only available on the iPhone 3G S. Complete and utter nonsense, seen as all that is needed to use the Voice Command app is a mic.
I just updated to 3.0, and my phone is now in a different language. Oops.
My down load of the new iphone software seemed to go well, but it is still verifying the software after 12 hours!
It deleted all my text history, and my contacts. I also cant send or receive pictures, movies, or audio files.
Hi , ive got the update all ok , but did get the server busy message after i installed , Just keep trying and all will work ok !! theirs probably 14million users trying to get it at once :))))
Well my mate’s iPhone was bricked with this update and it needs to be replaced due to a hardware failure.
My two iPhones (which downloaded the update at the very same time as my mates) have updated without a single glitch.
We are puzzled why 1 of our 3 would be total disaster??
Needless to say that my mate is totally ^#@*!
was told by o2 that update would be at 18.00 gmt, and at 18.15 it started downloading the update…it took 2 hours to download! then a problem with the activation server meant it wouldnt update. I waited till this morning and then it installed ok, but when i checked my music after the update there was no music on my iphone. re synced it and everything was fine. so far no problems to report, have paired my bluetooth stereo headphones with my iphone and it works a treat. also the spotlight search works great, although it does show emails that i have already deleted. I cant see the point of that, if I wanted to re read them i would not have deleted them in the first place.
oh yeah, and the mms works great to
My mms does nto even appear on my screen.
