Geohot says “no unlock” for iPhone 3G, only for iPhone 2G on OS 2.0 E-mail

So... iPhone 2G owners with unlocked devices wanting the new iPhone OS 2.0 software goodness just have to wait a bit longer. Yes, after having used it on my iPod Touch, the new software rocks.

It’s still a bit rough in places it would seem, things seem to crash here and there, but it’s lovely nevertheless and I can’t wait to put it on my iPhone 2G!

But not until the software is available, otherwise my iPhone will become an iBrick, and I sure as heck don’t want that to happen!

It’s happened to me in the past with previous firmware updates and unauthorised third party software issues that went awry, and even though I was able to successfully restore my iPhone back to normal working condition relatively quickly, I can assure you the feeling of dread that I’d bricked my iPhone and may not have been able to restore it was a very, very unpleasant feeling.

So... feel good with 1.1.4 and wait. It’s much nicer to wait with a working iPhone than a dead one! And if you have an iPod Touch, pay the upgrade fee (US $10 or AUD $12.99) and upgrade it already. It rocks!

A fuller review of iPod Touch OS 2.0 software is coming later today.
