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.

I have uploaded the new 3.0 software…took a while but eventually done it only probably is my text messages are now coming through 2 hours later and none of my apps work..they are all there but wont let me on them even though i still has internet access…please someone help x
I’ve had the same problem with the 3.0 update putting my iphone into recovery mode after telling me it couldn’t be updated. All I can do is downgrade back to 2.2.1. Guess we’ll just have to wait until Apple fixes this widespread issue.
ok so idk how to fix the problem i have cause maybe im
just dumb, but when i log into my itunes and i want to update
my iphone to the 3.0 version this message comes up and says,
itunes could not contact the iphone software update server
because you are not connected to the internet.
Even though i AM connected. I even tried on diel up, but stil
says the same thing.
any idea how i correct this please.
