Contrary to the 12 bugs in iPhone OS 3.0 that Woot found, I only encountered 1 not in the list. I just sent 5 MMSes instead of SMSes yesterday without noticing that the iPhone shows Group MMS instead of Group SMS whenever you add more than one recipient to the list.

iPhone OS 3.0 Group MMS Bug

This has been confirmed by other users as well so it can very well be an actual bug. Now the only solution will be to switch MMS Messaging to Off whenever you want to send a group SMS. More bugs?

Everyone is excited with the just released iPhone OS 3.0 and so am I! To be honest, I have never used Bluetooth on a Mac before and the way to setup tethering just feels a little different from what I expected. No, I did not try tethering via USB since I very much prefer wireless. The steps below should work for anyone whose mobile service provider (I am on SingTel by the way) does not explicitly disable tethering.

  1. Ensure that the settings Internet Tethering and Bluetooth is set to On on your iPhone.
  2. Click on the Bluetooth icon on the menu bar (the top right corner of your screen with lots of icons).
  3. Choose Set up Bluetooth Device.
  4. Click Continue then Mobile phone and Continue again.
  5. Ensure that you are on the Bluetooth settings page on your iPhone. You should see your iPhone listed under the list of Mobile Phones then click Continue and Continue (notice the number of Continues?) again.
  6. The Bluetooth Setup Assistant on your Mac should now be showing the PIN required to pair up the iPhone so just enter the PIN as shown into your iPhone and “touch” Connect.
  7. Now, your Mac and iPhone are finally paired. Ensure that Use device as a network port is checked and click Continue.
  8. Congratulations and we are done with the set up!

Every time you wish to connect to the Internet via your iPhone, click on the Bluetooth icon on the menu bar again and choose Your iPhone > Connect to Network. Once connected, you should see a nice blue Internet Tethering banner pulsating on your iPhone. Have fun!
