It's OK

Slightly prettier and it does a few new things I don't need

You need multitasking surely!? Well need isn't the right way to describe, but it must come in handy more often than not? I mean i multi task with a wee old symbian smartphone between email/mail/phonebooks/apps....

Not really, the major programs run in the background anyway, it's not really a big deal for me, in fact I think it's more likely that it will annoy me because I'll get slow downs from having background applications running and forgetting to kill them

Seems like it'll be alright. If it doesn't brick your phone during the upgrade anyway.

Not done mine yet - deciding how much I'd be annoyed at not having SBSettings now I've got used to it.

Me too before the iOS4 update and jailbreaking. :shrugs:

I'm skipping the update for 2 reasons. Not hugely beneficial on my 3G. Happy with the jailbreak. Plus my Mac is in storage while I move so I can't update it

Oh and 3rdly I'm just going to get a iPhone 4 anyway.

Just done mine. DFU'd it to nuke the jailbreak and then installed iOS4. All went almost perfectly (I forgot a bit of jailbreak stuff I'd left on my iTunes machine). No problems with the restore either.

Now I just have to wait for iTunes to sync everything. Expect it'll take a few hours.

Yes, I decided to ditch the jailbreak - too much risk and too little reward to justify it given the way I've used my phone for the last nine months. Wonder how many times I'll forget and try to use SBSettings.

Camera is much faster and I like the multi task. Less buttons to click. Only major issue is the rebooting every 4'mins

Mark · 28-06-2010, 16:15

Aye. Was playing with macro and zoom. Not bad at all. Needed an app for those in OS3

I wasn't going to bother with iOS (I wonder what Cisco have to say about that name?) 4 for a while yet but on a whim I've installed it. The backup is restoring at the moment and the I need to do all the Cydia stuff.

Whoops. I created a custom firmware with Pwnage tool and then restored the stock Apple firmware by mistake. Bye bye jailbreak, for now anyway.

Hmm my phone appears to be stuck in DFU mode after a reboot. Not fun.
