When I click on the link in my AT&T confirmation email and go to my order status, it indicates that it has been shipped (as of 10/9) but when I click on the FedEx tracking number it does not find it. I'm assuming that it hasn't gotten to that point yet and I'll have it by Friday.

I wouldn't assume anything. Don't expect it at any certain point and it won't bother you as much (unless you're waiting a week for it).

Hey guys,

I tried to upgrade to Ios5 but I got an "internal error" while trying to restore my iPhone. Any ideas? (My phone is jailbroken). TIA

Was trying on my mom's phone (not JB)

same

But, if you are JB, do not update to iOS5 from a backup

Make sure you set the phone up fresh to factory settings

Otherwise, you will have stuff from the JB leftover, taking up random space

Your best bet is to do a fresh restore of your phone to iOS5 to avoid any future headaches

Sweet! AT&T's website is listing the 4S as a 4G phone! w00t!

iPhone 4S new 14.4 Mbps HSDPA 4G speeds won't help Americans

By Daniel Eran Dilger

Published: 04:32 PM EST (01:32 PM PST)
Apple demonstrated fast new 14.4 Mbps data downloads that technically put the new iPhone 4S in the realm of 4G LTE competitors, but US residents won't benefit much from the increased potential because domestic carriers don't support it.

Apple's new iPhone 4S will take full advantage of foreign networks supporting 14.4 Mbps HSDPA (high speed downlink packet access), a technology related to the GSM/UMTS standards. The existing iPhone 4 is limited to 7.2 Mbps HSDPA and 5.76 HSUPA (uploads).

However, Verizon Wireless and Sprint, two of the three US mobile carriers will sell iPhone 4S in the US, are CDMA only, meaning they can't take any advantage of its new HSDPA speed potential. They'll continue to be limited to CDMA's 3G EVDO, which is noticeably slower than AT&T's network.

But even AT&T has been very conservative in building out its HSDPA capacity. The company's UMTS 3G network only started getting built out around 2006, when Verizon's competing, incompatible EVDO 3G service was already usable, initially forcing Apple to release the original iPhone as 2G only.

Apple has since increased the iPhone's 3G download speeds, first adding 7.2 HSDPA on the iPhone 3GS, then adding faster uploads with 5.76 Mbps HSUPA on iPhone 4, all the while also frequently noting that the potential of its smartphone was limited by the network technologies of carriers.

The company made similar caveats when introducing iPhone 4S with 14.4 Mbps HSDPA today. What it hasn't made clear is that not only will the feature only potentially address AT&T subscribers in the US, but that even AT&T's network has little or no support for actual 14.4Mbps service.

Tried updating my iPad2 to iOS5, no luck. Keep getting error messages. And my iPad2 is unmolested (no jailbreak). Don't know if I'll try it out on my 3GS, since my 4S should be here Friday...

Spot on, what i've been saying for a while. The network comes before the phone.

Same here. In my confirmation email it also said due to high demand, shipment information may be delayed. Nothing to worry about.

I had the same problem. Error code 3200 I think it was. I restored it instead and it loaded up iOS5 no problem, try that.
