Do not install on iPhone 3G (3GS just fine)

Eventhough we don't sell or support the iPhone, i've had Two callers today with iPhone 3G who somehow installed the 6.1 update, and it pretty much bricked their device, can't even turn it on.

T Bone

How is that even possible? The 3G was cut off after 4,0.....I'm frankly surprised it is even possible to update a 3G to 6.1,

Just updated my iphone 4 to 6.1

and it's fast. I like it and it made the phone faster then it was.

Also how can I get my gmail contacts to appear on my phone book?

T Bone

I don't really notice any difference....but then I rarely do with these small, incremental updates....

The update adds LTE support for more carriers worldwide

I didn't think that the iPhone 5 had a reprogram-able radio modem, or does the iPhone already support these bands but this update just unlocks it?
