| ![]() iOS 5 will be supported on the 3GS according to Apple. There are some features that the 3GS may not get on the new OS. |

| ![]() I have an iPhone 4 that was unlocked for me by my service provider when I left France. When I tried to see recommendations for iOS 5, some of the sites did not recommend doing this on an unlocked iPhone. If I try to install iOS 5 now, will it affect my unlocked iPhone? Appreciate your advice & comments |

If your iPhone didn't come factory unlocked, then it's tricky. If the service provider has unlocked it officially (I've never heard of this being done but I guess it's possible) then I suppose, it's just the same as a factory unlocked phone. It should upgrade without problems. If a hack was used to unlock it (unlikely being a service provider), you'll have to wait for a hack to appear for every new OS update before upgrading. Hope this helps. | ||

Well, my service provider put in a request with Apple. I then received a text from them after a week asking to connect to iTunes and reset the phone (dont remember which one was first). After that I followed the steps as recommended and the phone was unlocked. The sales guy at the service provider confirmed to me that it would be unlocked for complete use. I presume this means factory unlocked, though I dont really know the difference. What I do know is that I can use any simcard on this phone now. I appreciate it if you can throw some light on the status of my phone! ![]() I dont mind waiting for the official release, but do you think any of the features in the current iOS 5 may not be provided in the official release? ![]() | |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() I got a new IPHONE 4 unlocked one. It is doing well but it did not recognize the bsnl 3g sim until I synchronize with my imac. The ring tone change was a big problem. Finally I could convert to a4r format. Some of my MP3 songs and stored in my sounds. Now it works. My favorite tamil songs Sutrum Vizhi Chudar, Vizhi moodi,Taxi,Taxi and Nanpathi Nee pathi Kanne. |

About your second question: there is no current iOS 5, unless you mean the beta version seeded to developers. You don't want it just yet -- better to wait for the official release once any bugs are ironed out. The current version is iOS 4 and the existing features on it will definitely be in the new OS in some form or other. Quote:

| ![]() Got myself a factory unlocked iPhone 4 32gb yesterday. Tried syncing it, but it kept restarting. And then, I get the Temperature warning. Took it back to the store, and it restarted again there. They said they need 2 days to replace it. But, I checked today, and it doesn't restart anymore. Should I get it replaced or just keep it? |
