Let’s take a look at the enhancements in the iOS4 software update. This phone is nearing the end of its life, anyway. I suggest you to stick to version 3.1.3 if you own an iPhone 3G. If you do a clean install of iOS4, which I did, you will find that the Clock, Compass, Calculator and Voice Memos have been moved to a Utilities folder by default. The camera too works better but you will not get support for the iBookstore. But most of them do not work on the iPhone 3G where you will be able to make folders and have a common inbox for all your accounts. The iOS4 software update has some very cool features. On the other hand, the iPhone 3GS update went smooth. In the process I lost all my SMSes, but that was about all. Finally, I reset the device to the factory settings and set it up as a new phone. What happened in my case was that when the restoration began, after about an hour, it threw up an error message saying “iTunes could not restore your phone due to an interruption”. ![]() That’s because when the new update is installed a full backup of your phone is taken, the update installed and then the device is restored to its original state with all the contacts, apps, mail and SMSes.

You need to open a free account at the US iTunes Store and ask a friend to send you a $20 gift coupon. These are not available at the Indian store. For those of you who are interested, the apps that you must have are ESPN 2010 FIFA World Cup and another called MobiTV. It was so good that I was able to watch the FIFA World Cup matches live without any interruption. ![]() In some areas Internet access was blazing fast but in some downright poor.Īnyway, I was lucky that from my office and home I was getting very decent speeds. Let me mention here that since only Cellone from BSNL gives you 3G, I took a Cellone SIM card and with a little experimentation, was getting 3G signals. Naturally, having waited all night, I decided to download and install the update, hoping it would transform my iPhone 3G into a much better phone. The moment you connect your iPhone to iTunes on your Mac or PC, you are asked whether you want to download, or download and install, the iPhone software version 4. The much-touted iOS4 comes as a software update. Early last week, I was awake practically all night waiting to update my iPhone 3G to iOS4, Apple’s new operating system for the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. ![]()
