A good couple of months after it was first available I've finally worked out the means and motive to upgrade the firmware on my iPhone to 2.x, more specifically to the current 2.0.2 version.
There were many things to work out even after all the preliminary research. The deed was eventually done by using WinPWN 2.5 Beta in expert mode with a manual download of the firmware. Even after the process was complete there were a few thrills resulting from simple things, such as email, not working. The issue was later resolved with a simple terminal command via SSH.
I'm delighted to have access to the Apple App Store, Cydia and Installer 4 all at the same time but I am disappointed by many other things.
Among the disappointments:
Touchpad Pro, which I bought a couple of months ago, is not available for FW 2.x yet, with no news on when it might. I found a relatively acceptable replacement in Mocha VNC, which I am yet to properly put through the ropes.
Funiculus, the extraordinarily accurate guitar tuner, will not be available for FW 2.x. However, its creators have produced a fairly inexpensive version with many more functions available through the App Store. I bought it.
MooCowMusic Band is now only available for a cost.
Apollo IM is not available. IM+ proves to be a lesser substitute.
Fring, the native iPhone Skype client is not available.
ORB is not available.
Well, there's a lot more to say but I'll leave it at that for now.
