thanks Duane, i too use itunes gift cards, if you sign up for mobile me you'll get a free itunes account. then you can use itunes gift cards too, best thing to do is buy a 100 usd at a time, that way you can budget ti and buy a few aps and some movies on itunes.

thanks for the compliments about mytriniphone, its fun Smile

Oh My Good Grief...I read through this entire thread...and I'm still amazed at the amount of hoops you guys jump through on a daily for basic stuff included on most unlocked handset's out there. Bordering on the freakishly nerdish Neutral

I guess it's cause most of us (you) are involved in the tech industry in some way so this stuff is some what exciting, but honestly do you ever get tired of it sometimes?

Still waiting on my 3G tho Crying or Very sad

RASC you still trolling apple/iphone threads?? LOL Laughing

my gf's phone is on 1.1.1, never been upgraded or touched since i gave it to her for her christmas.. she can mms, send multiple messages, video record yada yada.. everything a out of box phone can and should do.. never crash, never restore, she never even back it up with itunes.

we 'choose' to do this.. there is ertianly no need to, look Duane now jumped from 1.0.2 that he used for almost a year, since last year september when we unlocked it by my house a sunday afternoon.

it's exactly like modding a car, you can leave it stock, or fix it up and customize as you want - you may be able to get a car/phone with more 'features' out of the box, but that certainly doesnt make it any better Wink

as a base model for tuning, this is the best there is out there

when you get ur 3g you'll see

NOTE: 1st gen users whose phone has already been pwned can UPDATE to 2.0.1 via iTunes and will still be unlocked & activated.

however the phone will no longer be jailbroken so cydia and all 3rd party apps will be lost until an update to the pwnage tools are released...

there are a lots of reports of people getting 3g phones by buying the normal way with contract then calling at&t to complain that they are not getting good reception in their area and able to cancel the contract and not having to return the unit by telling the att rep that they bought it in an apple store
reports on hackintosh of guys buying 5 per day at $299 and selling for $800+ on ebay

Bezman · Posted: Wed Aug 06, 2008 11:11 pm Post subject:

i bought mine exactly like that..

it was bought with a 2 year contract, and the contract will be terminated in a couple weeks, i'll pay all the fees etc.. cost ~660 usd for a 16GB.

Pug boy so their cost actually is 299+174+35+50+tax=$550 for a 8GB

the 174 is the early termination fee, 35 is the activation fee, 50 is the first months service, and local tax as well...

Sprint early termination fees are illegal, judge rules

Hopefully this'll spread to AT&T

^^^ If it does can you imagine the sudden increase of demand for the Iphone, as AT&T will lose a major part of there hold on the phone.

Bezman · Posted: Thu Aug 07, 2008 12:22 pm Post subject:

the price would go up if that happens, the iphone price is subsidized

12 iPhone Tricks You Might Not Have Known
http://www.ismashphone.com/2008/08/iphone-tricks.html

1. Scroll to Top of Page -
In any application, Safari included, you can automatically scroll to the top of the page by tapping on the "top bar", which has the time, service bars, and battery. In Safari, this not only brings you to the top of the page, but also brings up the URL bar.

2. Domain Resolution -
When typing a URL in Safari, you don't have to type the "www" or the ".com".For instance, for www.cnn.com just type "cnn" in the URL box. Note: Your search engine must be set to Google, not Yahoo.

3. Domain Suffix - [On firmware 2.0 only]
Hold down the ".com" key for ".net, .edu, .org" keys. Note: Slide your finger from .com to .net/.edu/.org, rather than lifting and pressing.

4. Press & Hold For Alternate Characters -
Hold a letter for a popup of various versions of the character (i.e. to type España with the "ñ" simply hold "n" and simply slide/release to the appropriate character).

5. Click & Hold URL's -
In Safari, hold a link to see the URL and site name.

6. Soft Reset -
Press and hold the Home button and the Sleep button to restart your iPhone. A white light will flash, the screen will shut off and then turn back on. Keep holding until the screen turns back on.

7. Take a Screenshot -
To take a screenshot, hold the home button and click the sleep button. The screen will flash white and the screenshot will be stored in your camera roll.

8. Set Parental Controls -
You can enable certain restrictions or parental controls on your iPhone. You can block explicit lyrics, Safari, YouTube, iTunes, or the App Store. Just go to Settings, General, Restrictions.

9. Save Any Image from Safari -
To save any image from the web to your camera roll, simply press and hold the image. A menu will appear asking "Save Image" or "Cancel". Once the image is in your camera roll, you can set it as your wallpaper.

10. Fast Forward/Rewind Music & Video -
Press and hold the skip forward/back arrows to fast forward or rewind rather than skip tracks. Also, press on the album art to manually FF/rewind.

11. Delete Emails -
You can do both "bulk deletes" and "individual deletes" when browsing email. To do a bulk delete, simply click Edit, check off the desired emails, and then choose delete or move. To delete a single email, simply "cross it out" by swiping your finger across the email, then press delete.

12. Double Tap Home Button -
Double tapping the home button has several useful functions, which are described here¹.

For those of you that care

Jonathan Zdziarsi, the author of iPhone Forensics, says that Apple can actually remotely disable apps installed on your iPhone. Apparently, there's a blacklist URL in the iPhone's OS that he says "suggests that the iPhone calls home once in a while to find out what applications it should turn off."

He says he found the URL (https://iphone-services.apple.com/clbl/unauthorizedApps) "tucked away in a configuration file deep inside CoreLocation" while doing a forensic examination of the iPhone 3G. It appears to be reserved for disabling actually malicious apps, not ones that Apple just doesn't like and might've yanked from the store. After all, no apps have shown up the list yet, and NetShare, the tethering app that is currently pulled from the store remains operational on all the phones we have it installed on, even after a sync.

But effectively invading one's phone is different than removing something from their virtual store shelves. If they ever use this exceptional—maybe egregious—power, Apple would have to explain why. The standard silence simply wouldn't cut it
