Yes that is how it works. However there will still be a very few numbers for which it might not work but that should not bother us. It works for 99.9% of the numbers in all formats...

One more thing. I have a Mac Mini and I sync my iPhone and iPod to this machine. Now I have Laptop that runs on XP can I get my contact list and details from my iphone to the windows machine? I'm quite desperate to get all my contacts.

[srijit]

joe, download iTunes for Windows, and sync your iPhone with XP. The address should sync to the Windows Address Book (wab.exe)
One thing to keep in mind; the custom labels for phone numbers will not successfully transfer over to the Windows side. They will be properly synced only on the Macs.

Apple: iPhone Firmware 2.2 Jailbroken, QuickPwn 2.2 Released

Anyone upgraded yet?

My phone has a lot of lag after I put v2.1, I hope v2.2 solves these issues. I still feel I made a big mistake by upgrading from v1.1.1, that was stable as a rock.

[rajismine]

I did and its working all fine. The only issue: I dont see Openssh in Cydia anymore. I thought there could be some isssue so did a restore and jailbreak again. Still no openssh in Cydia.

I did see it in Installer though and installed it as well but somehow got messages: Still in Beta. Please confirm if you want to go ahead.

Otherwise its very good. New Google maps are good as well...

Upgrading to 2.2 in a couple of hours. Will come back with results in a day or 2. Hope all applications work fine on V2.2. Anyone can confirm that for me please?

[srijit]

A friend of mine updated. He reports a caller ID issue. He also has got a good increase in battery life, when phone is kept idle overnight with wifi enabled.
Does anybody else have issues with caller id?

[Sahil]

Do you guys have the lagging/hanging problem on v2.1? If so, please report if this has stopped in v2.2

[normally_crazy]

Sahil,

I have that irritating lag on 2.1 !

A friend of mine updated. He reports a caller ID issue.

So should I or shouldn't I?

[srijit]

Caller ID issue has not yet been resolved. The developer who has been releasing the fix says that Apple has changed the formats, so he needs to learn that again. You can dial out without problems, but when a call comes, I believe it will just show the numbers, even if the person is in your contacts. This might be fixed in a couple of days, hopefully.

This is the one issue that my friend has had, so far.

[normally_crazy]

I have downloaded the original restore file but have not gone ahead. Now I will wait for a couple of days before I take the plunge.

Thanks Srijit.

hm, I dont have that problem. What format is he storing the numbers?

[srijit]

Will ask and report back. But I suspect that the is using a 098xx format for mobiles, since he is dependant on the Caller ID hack. If one is using +91 9xx format, then I think there should be no problem. Anyway, will ask him.
