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!

Who is going to test 1.1.1 on unlocked iPhone?
Will 1.1.1 have any problems with hacked (but not unlocked) iPhones?
The anticipation is killing me.......

@badtzmaru: I have iTunes 7.4.1 (because of my ringtones) and it was able to detect the new 1.1.1 update for my iPhone. I have Installer.app on mine, and supposedly it doesn't cause any known problems (says Engadget). I'll see what happens.

I am curious whether or not it affects the activation aspect.

Argh, wouldn't you know it? The world's worst university WiFi is slower than molasses in getting to the iPhone update.

Great - hopefully now that the iPhone suffers the same countermeasures as the touch we'll finally see some dedicated and effective hacking on the new codebase and hopefully an unlock that also works for the touch. This firmware is good news for touch owners who have been waiting for the hackers to have more incentive to work on cracking the new codebase. Now that the iPhone hopefully features the same protections, we'll all benefit from it being cracked.

Darn, I have to update my iTunes to get the update. I held off on updating iTunes to keep my custom ringtones. Goodbye 24 CTU ringtone :(.

Applying update now! updating iPhone firmware...had a lot of cool apps and themes, which I will miss, but outweighed by some of the new updates. Never unlocked it, but did jailbreak it...all seems OK, but lost the cool additions :(
Noticed it did go thru a reactivation cycle.

I am running iTunes 7.4.0 and it sees the update. I have not downloaded and installed to see if it will make me upgrade after installation.
