Upgraded my iphone firmware to v2.1

I was able to successfully upgrade my phone to v2.1 using the pwanapple tool. It was a very simple process of getting your iphone unlocked and I would recommend anybody having the iphone 2G to use this method to upgrade their iphone to use v2.1.

I am very impressed with App Store and the list of applications users can currently download. Altast, I have been able to get my hands on Kai Pond, which is a well thought out application for iphone.

Low Volume problem in iPhone

I have having volume problem with my iPhone from the moment i bought it. I tried googling around for a firmware to fix it but couldn't find any answer even though many people have reported this problem. Atlast, I found the solution, don't laugh over this :)

I wanted to keep my iPhone clean so I haven't removed the sticker that comes on top of it and the sticker covers the receiver as well. So I made a small cut/hole on the sticker where the reciever is and boom I have the iPhone working in all its beauty and I can hear my friends on the other end clearly... I think there might be few folks out there who didn't realize so I am posting this so they could benefit from it ;)

Which is more cool ? working for Google or Apple

Which is more cool ?? working as a software engineer in Google's reasearch team or working as a design engineer in Apple ? I thought of this question after seeing the way Google and Apple have been doing business. I initially thought of adding Microsoft into this question, but I think Microsoft lost the "cool" part few years ago (don't get me wrong.. I am still a Microsoft geek working on thier products .Net/SQL server for my bread & butter).

I am given such an opportunity I think I would take design engineer job in Apple. It would be so cool to design something which other competitors could be thinking 5 years down the lane. To add to that, I am just amazed by the way Steve has turned them around with his vision. I am pretty sure he is going to knock away the competition from giants including Motorola and Nokia by the way his company has designed iPhone.

Which one would you choose given an oppurtunity ?

Does iPhone work in India ?

Atlast the apple iPhone is available for general public at last (only in US of A)!! For the first time I feel really bad about moving back to India, had I been in the US, I would have grabbed an iPhone the first day of its release.

The internet has been loaded with information about how cool the phone is and the innovative touch screen. Check out these videos from cnet website about iPhone.

> First look at iPhone
> Out of the Box : iPhone

It will be so cool when the day comes when I will be the first one to carry it into my office (i sure hope this does happen soon). Now I have to start sending emails to figure out which of my friend in US will make a trip to india soon. I couldn't find any information about whether an iPhone bought from US will work in India ?? Can anyone post a comment if they know answer this question ?
