@Norm, you're right. I believe iPhone Dev Team will still figure a way to jailbreak iPhone 3.0 even Apple closes all holes. It's expected jailbroken iPhone will be required to jailbreak again for upgrading to firmware 3.0. So, you can still use the lovely Cycorder and iPhone modem applications.

@Ada,

Other than faster data transmission, one thing that you’ll definitely miss out is GPS. There is another rumor that Apple will rollout “Turn by turn” GPS navigation application in iPhone 3.0. Not sure it’ll become true or not, anyhow, iPhone 2G will not be able to benefit from this app.

But, if you do not really need GPS and faster download speed, you can still stay with the 2g iPhone and wait for Apple to release another generation of iPhone.

I’m quite certain the Apple will not charge anything for the 3.0 update to the iPhone. They very much (IMHO) want to stop the threats posed by the Cydia store.

Let’s just hope they allow us to NOT install the update and stay at 2.X if we choose to do so.

Can owners with current OS upgrade to 3.0 at no charge?
