A German iPhone user has reported receiving a refurbished iPhone 3G in a box labeled for an 8GB iPhone 3GS. “David,” a moderator on the apfeltalk forums, has posted a photo (Translated Link) of the box’s serial number/IMEI label, which clearly says “iPhone 3GS v2.2, 8GB;” iPhone 3G S also appears on the box’s contents label. David reports that the phone inside is indeed an iPhone 3G, running software 3.0.1, despite the box’s markings. Evidence of an 8GB iPhone 3GS model appeared as early as this August in a supposed internal Rogers Wireless memo and on the carrier’s website; it is expected that this new low-end model would replace the current 8GB iPhone 3G in Apple’s lineup.

As you guys may know the iphone is the best smartphone out there on the market. I myself am proud to say I have an iPhone 3G S and am loving it. The iphone has replaced a lot of my gadgets as it offers video recording, voice memo’s, camera, email, web-browser, etc etc… The list would go on forever if I named the apps I use so lets put it this way. If you have an iphone in your pocket you pretty much have a laptop in your pocket and that is why the iPhone is the coolest thing out there right now.

Thanks to Saurik for all of his hard work. Below is his explanation from saurik.com on how to downgrade your iPhone 3G S and also how to continue using his server for future Apple firmware updates.

Bypassing the Overlord

To this end, I have constructed a server that duplicates the functionality exposed by Apple’s signature server, except using “on file” results rather than live requests.

All we need, then, is to make iTunes use it. Luckily, most operating systems also have the ability to locally define bypasses on specific hostnames through a file called hosts. Using this, we can redirect requests to Apple’s signature server to Cydia.

So, open the file C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts (Windows) or /etc/hosts (Mac OS X) and add the following entry to the bottom of the file.

74.208.105.171 gs.apple.com

Now, when iTunes thinks it is talking to Apple, it is talking to Cydia Read more…

Everyone, including Steve Jobs, has very reasonable sounding theories as to why the third gen iPod touch camera was removed. Rather than rehash it again, however, we thought we’d let our minds wonder into parody, and consider what might have happened in a world only slightly more cartoonish than ours…

Steve Jobs, fresh from his recent leave of absence, comes crashing back into Apple’s Cupertino campus, and after fixing the typography on the iPhone 3G S 3GS, tweaking some pixels on the Snow Leopard UI, and spending time meditating deep in the iTablet vault, he heads over to the scorched closet that used to be reserved for iPhone A2DP testing…

“64GB a go?” he demands. “Good”

“Is it thinner?” grumble. “Next year…”

“What about those ultra-tiny auto-focus 3 megapixel Read more…

iH8sn0w tweeted that he managed to find a way to Dowgrade a 3GS iPhone from firmware 3.1 to 3.0!

This process is extremely useful for all those people who have installed the original 3.1 firmware and have apparently lost all hope to be able to jailbreak their iPhone. This will also help those people who buy an iPhone 3G S with 3.1 preinstalled. iH8sn0w rekindled the hope of allowing re-install the firmware 3.0 on your device, after which all you will have to do is wait for the Dev Team to work its magic. Again I must say that this is only useful for people with an iPhone 3G S who accidentally upgraded to 3.1 or were forced to upgrade to 3.1 because your iPhone messed up. If you don’t feel safe sending your personal iPhone data to someone than don’t do it simple as that.
