Sorry to burst your bubble, but while it's technically possible to have some sort of voice control on the 2G/3G, the implementation that Apple chose for the 3GS uses DSP hardware that does not exist on the older phones. It's impossible to just "turn it on" and have it work on them.
Got a tip for us?

Yep, im having the same issue. Have you figured out where to delete the carrier profile or return it to default? In settings>general>profiles, I only see my dev profiles.
My internet connection is not working at all. Phone/text of course works fine.
I am curious about wifi too. My wifi got messed up with the 3.0 update also I had never used it, but Bluetooth seems to not be working on 3.0 for me.
I loved this feature, as sometimes I would hit send by accident as i was typing a message, you could cancel and continue editing, Brian Tong on the apple byte, even mentioned this on cnet tv as one of the features they needed to put back so im hoping it makes its way back..
not to mention it could adjust sound profile, change ringtone and maybe sound level like if you were at work putting the phone on silent automatically, sounds like an app I should work on writing
So, would anyone suggest me installing 3.1 on my 3GS that I use on a daily basis? How many betas are there typically before it gets released?
Also, how long should it be before this is released?

That would be super-terrific.
For a .1 release, there are usually several betas. Probably at least a month or two. This .1 release seems more stable than most in the past. Of course, it doesn't add enough that I'd recommend updating unless you're a dev who needs to test compatibility and the simulator won't get you by for now.
I hope they will enable 720p video in 3.1. If they do, I am going to upgrade to a 3Gs, otherwise I am just going to hold off.
I guess I don't really understand HD video, but don't you need a display that does 1280x720 to view 720p video?
What would be the point? The iphone's resolution is far lower than 1280×720.
You are correct. 720p does indeed require 1280x720. Anything else lower is downsampling.
Based on what? They've never released a .1 release a week after seeding to developers.
the first iPhone was able to do video is you hacked it and used qik. SO why! I say WHY can it not be done on the 3G. I understand that it most likely won't be done but I just want to know why...
Recording 720p has nothing to do with the display size. The 3Gs hardware can handle 720p, but Apple for unknown reasons has it disabled and set lower.
Most likely to save recording space. It appears that the phone is limited to 2GB videos and 720p has twice the number of pixels as 480p.
Then why add the hardware in for it ... ? With a 32GB iPhone, you can record a lot of 720p video. Keep in mind, with a Bluray at 50GB you can have 1080p for about 3 hours worth. (maybe more)
So at 720p, 32GB would be plenty of space to record a few hours worth of video. Chances are, most users wouldn't record more then a few minutes worth of video at a time.
No problem
