I have an original iPhone working flawlessly on the recent 2.0 upgrade courtesy of pwnage 2.0.1.

Question if anyone can answer it is:

while my iphone is unlocked I nevertheless have been using one of the nominated carriers but not on a long contract, and am curious if the 2.0.1 iphone upgrade will brick my iPhone? iTunes actually did a carrier settings upgrade without a hiccup so what about 2.0.1?

OK, here’s a stuuuuuupid question. I just got an iPod touch over the weekend. I know what the point is to jailbreaking an iPhone, but what does jailbreaking a touch do for you?

Seems to be working okay on my iPod touch.

FYI.. 2.01 supposedly does “fix” the “bug”
I’m updating now and the backup is going on 90 minutes and it’s only halfway done. Ridiculous.

My backup is also fairly quick - wasn’t this fixed with iTunes 7.7.1?

My iPhone took about five minutes to back up, which is one of the quickest backups ever, and it is starting to install the 2.0.1 update now. Keep your fingers crossed.
