Moment of Truth: iPhone Software 1.1.1 is out

It's now later in the week, and the moment of truth for those who chose to unlock their SIMs, as the 152MB v1.1.1 update is now available via the iTunes Auto-Update. If you were one of the adventurous ones, the general consensus is to hold off from upgrading as the iPhone Dev Team have promised a re-locking tool within a week that should prevent your iPhone becoming an overpriced paperweight and allow you to enjoy the new iTunes Wi-Fi Store (and more) on your iPhone.
Thanks to everyone who sent this in!

Earlier in the week, Apple's press release about how future software updates might well brick SIM-unlocked iPhones lit something of a fire...

In response to comment #19, if you wait you will find that everything works fine. When I saw the yellow triangle, I almost disconnected...then I thought maybe the message is just part of the update process. Turns out I was right. So, for those who do update to v1.1.1 when you see the yellow triangle LEAVE THE PHONE ALONE! It will be OKAY!

October 07 2007 at 3:31 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyI just completed the 1.1.1 update (flawlessly i might add) WITH a hacked (not unlocked) iPhone. for me, everything worked perfectly. obviously, none of the hacks are there anymore, but it does still show up as taking up space on the phone, even though i cant get to anything. i am confident that 3rd party apps will be up and running again in no time. so no matter what you choose to do, its only a matter of time before things are available again.

i shoulda stuck whith my nokia.............
So, can anyone with an unlocked iPhone post their IMEI number, or email me?
You can find it through Settings>General>About
I may be able to answer the how to tell if your phone is unlocked (for those who aren't sure or who had anySIM fail in the middle) question, but I need to know the IMEI of an unlocked phone to see if the information I have is helpful.
So, if anyone can help out, we can hopefully identify ar risk iPhones with out the guess and pray method.
Bluetooth Battery Display:
Its not gone just kind of flaky.
I powered off the iPhone put it in
the charger with my headset and powered
up when it finished booting the battery
display again showed both the iPhone and the headset.
I have just updated to 1.1.1 and all my 3d party installed apps are gone and the BSD subsystem with it... makes me want to cry... The nice themes are gone. I then just tried to resinstall apptapp and now my phone shows a nice new itunes picture on the screen... Nothing more. I connected to itunes and learn that my phone is in recovery mode and needs to be restored. Bummer.
