Looks like Apple is gearing up for the Verizon iPhone by releasing iOS 4.2.6, Build 8E200 to developers. Verizon users in the US will soon be excited to use the iPhone 4 on their network.
The notable feature that debuted on iOS 4.2.5, was the announcement of Personal Hotspot. Rogers has already mentioned they would support this feature if it becomes available for iPhones in Canada. There has been no mention of pricing.
In regards to jailbreaking the Verizon firmware, MuscleNerd has tweeted the keys to this firmware, asking people to share what they can find.
If you want to go crazy and try installing iOS 4.2.6 onto your non-Verizon iPhone, you can so do here.

Download the firmware and try to install it on your Canadian iPhone.

Every time I hear new releases of gadgets or applications or anything related to gadgets I get so excited and I cannot help but appreciate the people behind the innovation and thank them for all the wonderful things they are creating.
can someone explain to us how bell/rogers has the ability to not allow an iphone from using hot spot? isn’t the hot spot functionality on the iphone and not on their network? we have a ios version that allows this to work, are they getting apple to change their version to not allow this for just canadian phones???
i do not understand how they could do this, please explain in get detail.
thx,
Erth
is this for developers only?
Maybe the canadian iphones can install it.
