Hmm looks like location services for everybody is fine.. I will just go back to 2.x and try the upgrade again.. interesting the location service works with wifi but not over EDGE.. Thanks for the help!
 
All you need to do is downgrade your itunes, use pwnage to restore to 2.2, then upgrade itunes 8.2 and UPDATE again to 3.0.

You'll then have an unlocked and activated 3.0 2G iphone.

Or...just wait until pwnage is compatible with itunes 8.2 and the 3.o OS...but waiting is not as fun.

You sure that`ll work. Coz I`ll do it if it`s going to work. What I`ll really hate is if after all this I m still with a locked iphone. With my super fast 256 KBPS broadband it`ll be a real pain to download the old firmware.

Can someone guide me to some detailed instruction for downgrading it and then upgrading to 3.0 to make it work. I seriously dont wanna wait any more.

Ok got it to work. thanx a lot PDE for guiding me in the right direction.:). I`ve also posted how I did it here in case anyone needs help.
 
Works on T-mobile USA Iphone 2g 3.0 software.

Im not sure exactly what i did becuz i did just about everything stated here downgrading and upgrading and installing from apple and installing from an ispw from demonoid.... it was very confusing but it DOES work on T-mobile 2g with the 3.0 software. Thank you baby Jesus!

UPDATE

And as far as tethering goes for T-Mobile

Ive looked everywhere for tmobile USA carrier settings but couldnt find any. Instead of using the bult in tether you can also download from cydia PDANet or Tether, pdanet is easier to configure. So it is possible for us Tmobile 2g owners!

Update No.2

Youtube works for me just fine on Edge my WIFI is turned off and its working. So youtube, maps, Edge, Tmobile Iphone 2g 3.0 software, and tethering through PDAnet all work. Its possible!
