  • Er whoops forgot to use Captcha :)

    LIKE I WAS GOING TO SAY:
    Its 12.20 in Pt. Willunga, Adelaide SA and there's no update BUT I think the problem might be because I am trying to use iTunes 8.0 to update the iPhone, where as the 3.0 update is only supported on iTunes 8.2. If it's not working, try updating iTunes **first** :) I'll try it and see what happens. Hope this helps!

  • Damn 1:15 in Melbourne and still no updates... bloody lazy apple!!! Must resist eyes closing... must resisttt...... zrrrrrrrrrr Posted by Abs, Australoa
  • Nothing here in Perth as yet....will wait until its the 17th in the US - 40 mins away.... Posted by fabiansparkle, Australia
  • ill stay here till it comes Posted by robert, tassie australia
  • Seriously when will it go up !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! will it be today or what ??????????? Posted by Sean, Australia
  • Well Elvio it'll be about 1.30 here in South Australia when it's 5.00 for you guys so might have to wait a bit more then... just a little bit more.... 40 minutes people! Posted by Chrisso, Australia
  • Aaah screw this... I'll update later in the morning!! Status : 1:20AM MELBOURNE!! Posted by Abs, Melb, OZ
  • 40 mins???? Its like 8:30am in California!!! The damn thing shoulda rolled out b now!! Posted by MuffinMan, australia
  • what do you mean 40 mins Posted by Sean, Australia
  • no update...its a scam Posted by brisbaneite, australia
  • what you on about wheres my bluddy 3.0 man i watied forever im in brisbane and its 1:30 GRRR Posted by Sean, Australia
  • Sorry Sean I was referring to Elvio's prediction of 5pm in the uk which is about 1.30 in SA so 30 minutes away. Seriously we aussies need the same time zone ey? :)
    But if its around 8.30ish in cali it should be out now, so im wondering if maybe server problems or something are to blame?

    I dont know tho, and im tired. so dont take what i say to heart.
    Posted by Chrisso, Australia
  • so Chrisso how long for me if i am in Brisbane Posted by Sean, Australia
  • I can't wait! Posted by Matt, UK
  • I dunno... I'd say anywhere from 1/2 an hour till an hour from now? I'm half asleep though ;) Maybe like 2.30 QLD time at the latest? (which would suck)
    And we might get it later for some reason.. Apparently different carriers allow different optional features (like AT&T won't have MMS till later in the year) so if Apple have to release about 50 or so different 3.0's then we might have to wait due to server times etc... but it's a bloody mess just searching on google, so much confusion.

    Sorry if im wrong, right now I feel like sleeping... and eating

  • iPhone 3.0 update won't get pushed out until around 1pm EDT USA Time which will make it 3:00AM in Brisbane, QLD so if its not working after that well fuck Apple Posted by Sean, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia
  • Okay...2am didn't work. 3am is the max I'm giving too. By the time we get it (when we wake up), it will be old news everywhere else! 3am...30 long minutes. I can't even type properly now...need sleep....need OS 3.0. Posted by Vaibhav, Australia
  • 2:34am Melbourne... nothing. Posted by Lana, Australia
  • To kill time....does anyone know if the OS 3.0 supports saving smses? You can copy/paste, delete individual messages now...but nowhere does it mention that you can "save" messages to your computer to read them on the computer screen later (text, csv, ANSI, etc format)....a feature I miss from my old Nokia. Any other non-jailbreaking and "free" methods to do so if OS 3.0 doesn't support it? Posted by Vaibhav, Australia
  • Nothin in UK.... looks like its gonna be a long wait Posted by Peeyush, UK
  • dfc - that points to an article pointing to the engadget story - which points to someone else trying to decipher something Apple should have just released to the public in the first place. No need to keep an update time a secret. Posted by LPH, USA
  • Still not working awell fuck it and fuck apple Posted by Sean, Australia
  • LPH - this is what it says at the Top: If you’ve been tethered to your Mac since midnight, obsessively pressing the “Check for Update” button in iTunes, you can give it a rest. At least for a few hours. Engadget has deduced that today’s iPhone 3.0 update won’t get pushed out until around 1pm ET.

    Its rationale?

    Reports that carrier 3 in Hong Kong sent a network-wide SMS notifying iPhone owners that OS 3.0 will be available on June 18th, 01:00 local time. That’s 1pm on the 17th in New York, 6pm in London, and 1900 in central Europe.

    So there you have it. Another three hours to go.
