Thanks

downloading now.

Btw, they uploaded a new version of iTunes (still iTunes 8) that's a little smaller in size and would fix the BSOD error in Vista.

Thanks for the info. I use mac regardless. I am updating to 2.1 at the moment. Will let you know what DiskAid thinks.

No root access.

Mac + iTunes 8 + iPhone 3G + Firmware 2.1 + DiskAid

Access to media partition is good thou.

Yea. Just opened up DiskAid, the drop down box is greyed out :s. Not sure what's going on there :'(

Yep... it's not working.
Ah well, guess I'll have to wait for the jailbreak to be able to fix the phone number template plist.

Nothing out of the ordinary, I would think. To have root access (outside the Media folder) you need to jailbreak. It has always been that way -- it's the definition of jailbreak.

"No jailbreak needed" on DiskAid's website is also true: you don't need to jailbreak to access your Media folder through DiskAid.

The dropdown menu at the bottom left in DiskAid is greyed out?

I suggest you give iPhoneBrowser a try, it's really good. See http://hackint0sh.org/forum/showthread.php?t=52193
