iCaved — p.s. The old firmware’s still out there.
I gave into the reality distortion field and plunked down for a phone that does less, and does it slower than the 3-year-old phone it replaces. But oh, does it look pretty doing what it does.
For what it’s worth, I asked a salesperson at the Apple Store in Palo Alto if they had any units with the old (hackable) firmware in stock. He said no way, and he doubted anyone did at this point, “You can flash back to the old firmware if you have it, or a friend has it. But it will void your warranty.” (He later told me there might be AT&T stores with slow-moving stock.)
I decided not to buy one. When I changed my mind, I picked one up at the Apple Store in San Francisco. And surprise! The firmware’s 1.0.2 (old).
