How To Activate IPhone 4.0 Firmware Beta With UDID

Activating the firmware is equivalent of to getting the UDID of your device registered in the iPhone developer program so you are legally able to test the new firmware on your device without any syncing problems with iTunes.

Register the Unique Device ID (UDID)

Now you won't be able to do this unless you have a iPhone developer account yourself which costs $100 a year; or have a friend who is enrolled into the program and willing to do the favor. But we here are giving you a chance to get this for free. Here is what you have to do:

Connect your device (iPhone or iPod Touch) to the computer.
Open iTunes and click on the Summary for the device.
Hover the mouse over to where it says 'Serial Number' and click on it such that to make it toggle into Unique Device ID (UDID).
Note down the UDID very carefully; better write it down somewhere.
Head over to this form, enter the details and wait for a couple of hours.
Comment on this post and tell us which one of the 7 tentpole features for iPhone OS 4.0 is your favorite.
That's it! Carefully follow the steps above and your Unique Device ID will be registered.

Important: This is a first-come-first-serve offer so make sure to follow the steps accordingly. Those who fill up the form but do not leave a comment as mentioned would not be entertained. Oh and please use the same name/email in the comment and activation form

im looking forward to the folders, because i guess backgrounding wont work on 3G

The FOLDERS! Awesome, and the Extended support for Exchange is great for business! It is clear that Apple want this to be used as a business tool!

I like the personal background the most. I was getting really bored with the plain black one.

Is there any confirmation? Haven't heard anything back yet... Or did you just need my UDID for some master plan?

I agree it's been more than 10 hrs and no news of confirmation.
