    Anyone else besides me? If you don't have installous it is a must have app, you can get 90 percent of the apps in the app store for free, i try them out and if I like an app i go to apple and buy it. Ive paid for 7 or 8 apps so far.

    I have. It's a pretty sweet deal. I'm using it right now as my primary internet source, actually.

    I haven't used Installous in 6 months because it was buggy back then. I just sync apps to my itunes.

    What I love most is the customization, here is my theme right now.

    I was thinking about doing the $100 iphone refurb (3g 8gb) deal online, then unlocking and cancelling service.

    There for $275-300 is much cheaper than buying the actual set new or at full price.

    However, I need a little more info unlocking wise. Are phones still being bricked? Is at&t threatening people with updates? I heard they are making it harder to unlock phones by making you activate at the store?

    Can you still unlock a phone after it has been activated?

    I can't answer the unlocking, but jailbreaking is a cinch.

    Unlocking an iPhone means that you can use the phone with any carrier, as in T-Mobile or Verizon.

    Jailbreaking means that you are releasing the iPhone from Apple's copyright protection, allowing any programs written for the iPhone to be installed, using an alternative installation program called Cydia.

    Some App Store applications will not work with a jailbroken phone. That being said, the range of abilities you have with the iPhone afterward makes it well worth it.

    Actually, you can't use it for verizon because Verizon uses a different technology (CDMA). An unlock iPhone can be used with any carrier that uses GSM technology.

    Nice catch. Admittedly I know very little about unlocking.

    I have the first generation iPhone, which wasn't sold in Canada. So of course, i had to unlock it.

    I think it's nearly impossible now to brick a phone while unlocking/jailbreaking (same program now). There are on-screen instructions that guide your every step.

    I know in the past you couldn't soft-unlock the iPhone 3G (meaning you needed some type of hardware mod). But I'm pretty sure there's an app (yellowsnow?) that lets you unlock it now.

    Always good to see the elderly embracing technology!

    Seriously though, try going back to a normal cell phone after the iPhone. You can't.

    yeah i would get one, except they are going for crazy prices on ebay, used and broken!

    although they are selling refurb ones online for cheap through att. Probably because they are going to roll out the new ones in about 4 months.

    I think the new one is coming out in June or July. The 3g will be able to upgrade to the new stuff but the 1st gen won't. I'd wait to see what the new one looks like and what it has.

    PDAnet.

    It's $30, but it's literally one of the best programs I've ever owned.

    Hey havoc do you know if your ip is dynamic with your 3g connection or does it stay the same every time you connect? Can you check for me? I need this for ebay (pda.net) but need a different Ip.
