Happy New Year everyone.

I'm planning to upgrade my Iphone 3GS to the IOS 5.0.1, has anyone done this? Any tips? I've read few forums online and kinda getting a mixed review. So if anyone here got something to say about it do let me know as I'll be doing it tonight.

Blue! am totally agree with you, this is range of complex phones, but it doesn't mean that can't b handled ! but mean time they are not like Nokia or Samsung.I got IP4s as a gift also,well its unique in design and rich as of application, features are remarkable, touch system is superb, but mean time there are some issues like its integration with other device say like ,blue tooth, and most important that we can't transfer our files directly if connected via usb, we have to use a software.These are some very basic facts which forced me to think that iphone is only amazing but its not as what called"User Friendly" as compared to Market's Biggest hit of all time "NOKIA".Say its like Apple's Mac system , no matters its not common as windows operating systems and versions which are widely used and liked by many because of being user friendly.

In the End i gave the phone back to my friend and took Samsung Galaxy S2 which she was using.At least better of common market standards.

Upgrading on unlocked phones are not the issue, i should have mentioned that my phone is not factory unlocked and thus i have to wait till unlocks are available every time new updates come out. Anyways glad to say after 4 hours of racking my brains i finally got the biatch to work and the world is beautiful again :)

btw the only problem i had was that there was no wifi available to do the unlock so i was racking the brains to see how to do it without wifi, there was a way but that kept restarting my phone so did a reinstall and waited for my neighbour to get home and took the freaking wifi password from him lol.

I have it on my 3GS. The phone has slowed down a little, but the new features make it worth while. With this software upgrade I still don't feel any need to upgrade my hardware.
