You can get it now. Just fire your favourite Torrent client and look for iPhone OS 3.0 7a341. That’s the build number of the golden master, which is the WWDC’09 build that Apple will distribute if nothing extraordinary happens.
I’m downloading it as I write these lines. Will tell you how the install goes in a few minutes.

So I’m guessing this version doesn’t need to be ‘activated’ like the beta versions did. ie, your phone doesn’t need to be linked to a developer account?

I d/led build 7a341 yesterday and applied it. My phone activated with no issues at all, and I’m not in the dev program.

I just installed it, works fine, copy and paste works great. can send MMS (was very slow) but haven’t been able to receive MMS(im with optus), the search feature is good, feels a little faster but maybe thats because i haven’t installed anything on it yet,
lots of little differences, so far i like it :)

So how do I go about ‘applying’ it to my iPhone3G? I’ve downloaded iTunes8.2 but I can’t seem to get it to update…

Yep… works all good. On Optus. Does anyone know if the MMS is charged outside of the iPhone caps?

Pretty sure MMS will be within the Optus cap on the Optus 3.0 FAQ it says:
“If you are connected to a ‘yes’ iPhone Cap, Business iPhone Caps or Non Cap Rate Plan the following rates are applicable:
* Standard National – 50c
* International – 75c”
As seen:

So what does it mean by it will lock our phone in testing mode? Someone on pirate bay said its not true and its just to scare us away?

Does anyone know if it will update the touch as well, or is that a seperate file?
