How to Jailbreak Your iPhone in Under a Minute

It is easier to use the program ifuntastic to jailbreak your iphone. It does everything for you and makes it much easier to put on ringtones. You can even use the itunes 30 second demos. ifuntastic only works on macs though. I have done it multiple times and it works great.

Good to know, Tasso. Thanks for your input.

Thanks, David. Glad I could help.

This is fantastic news, Chris!

Thanks for the well-written piece.

I’ll definitely forward your article to my Malaysian friend who’s still trying to figure out how to get around the numerous limitations on the iPhone.

I downloaded the iphone jailbreak…and then i connected my iphone and then the application first froze about everytime. then i disconnected my iphone from the computer and it was competely screwed up. it wouldn’t even go into the iphone menu, and it wouldn’t even restore. I took the iphone to apple the following day. It took them a couple of hours, but they luckily restored my iphone. I had recently went on vacation and taken many pictures. ALL of my vacation pictures were deleted!!!iFuntastic does not work!

the new version of iringtoner works with the new firmware.

Jailbreak is awesome…works flawlessly and thanks to all the guys/girls who were involved in this project for making if happen for all of us. Although i didnt use the iRingtone program, but instead used the iphoneinterface program. Worked like a charm and doesnt require that much time. I believe the longest part out of all would be gathering your ringtone and waiting for Jailbreak to send the files to the phone. Once again, I thank all the hard work you guys did.

@d- wouldn’t it make sense to have saved your photos (or really anything of value) before starting a process with the work “break” in it? Glad you posted though, now other people will know not to make that mistake.

I was able to make/load custom ringtones without jailbreaking my iphone. Requires iTune 7.5+, 1.1.2 firmware, 30sec mp3 clips (edited longer mp3s using Nero Soundtrax but any editor should work). Convert the 30sec mp3 to m4a using iTunes importer then rename the m4a to m4r and copy to your iPhone. Worked for me but I’m still considering jailbreaking to enable other features.

Jailbreak is cool, but with them improving the iPhone with each update I would rather wait.

Also, is it possible to restore once I jailbreak??

Will jailbreaking an iphone/iPod Touch void the warranty.

Hi,
will jailbrake also “uncripple” the bluetooth? What I mean is, that iPhone’s blouetooth only works for headsets, but you cannot exchange file e.g. with you mac or another mobile phone, bluetooth device etc.

Would be great to hear what you know about it!
Thanks!

Yes it will void the warranty

How exactly do you install the iringtone program on the iphone using windows. I have already downloaded the iringtone application on my desktop and need help. Thanks!

i just got an 8GB iphone very recently. I had tried to jailbreak my ipod touch, but it completely crashed it and it could not be restored. i really wanna jailbreak my iphone, but i’ve been told it’s a huge risk. does this thing work on brand new iPhones, and is it a huge risk to try and jailbreak it?

Can the Apple SDKs do the same things for the iPhone or iTouch as jailbreaking can?

Myxertones.com, search ringtones, click “download to my iphone” and download them to a file you can easily find. sync them to your iphone thru itunes. for those of you who may not want to jailbreak!

This sounds like a dumb question but I just got an iPhone and I was wondering what does jailbreaking do for your phone.

just a little FYI jailbreak does cause random problems on the phone like muti touch not working or safari is unable to find wifi. you NEVER what to restore your phone in itunes if you did jailbreak because itunes will recognize the unathorized software and basically turn the iphone into a fancy paperweight not to mention that if you ever did have any problems with your iphone, which trust me you will, and you need to send it in for repair apple will not touch your phone what so ever because you voided out your warrenty. these phones arent cheap at all. so unless you have the money to blow i would advise you not to jail break your phone

@Dre — Jailbreak is an unauthorized software that hacks your iPhone to “crack open” the file system, so that you can install third-party apps and modifications on your iPhone.

@Desiree — You’re right. I’ve added an update to this post on the risks of Jailbreaking. When I first wrote this post, Jailbreak was not as widespread as it is now. Thanks for pointing these things out.

Hoping to get some help. When I first got my iPhone (v. 1.1.2) I got Installer happy and began downloading a couple. One of the apps downloaded and installed on top of my Installer program thus stopping me from in/unistalling any apps. Is there a way of uninstalling this new app so that I am able to see my Installer icon again without having to restore the phone and start all over again? Any help is greatly appreciated.

I must be ridiculously challenged when it comes to technology.
I have tried to jailbreak my phone and I can’t seem to be able to figure anything out.

First of all, if anyone is willing to help me that would be great!
Secondly, all I want is to be able to have different themes.. that’s all I’m asking for.

I have the first generation iPhone.. that has iTunes 8 and is the 2.1 software version. I also have a Mac laptop, not a Windows.

Help anyone??

…. and if this is going to ruin my phone, then don’t bother helping me out, because I don’t want any problems with my phone.

I want it to look cute with the different themes, but I didn’t pay $500 for my phone to get messed up! ha

I am a neophite when it comes to technology. I understand that jailbreak is for using applications not put out by apple. Is there a list of things you have to have a jailbroken itouch to use them? I am a writer and I would like to know if there is an application that can be used without using jailbreak in order to put my personal writings on my itouch. Thanks for any input.

Is there a good website for beginners to help itouch users learn how about using their itouches.

Is there any other way to update my iphone??

btw I currently have version 1.1.4

Yo. To make your own ringtones using iTunes itself:
- Open up iTunes (Duh).
- Pick the song you want to convert to a ringtone.
- Right-click and choose “Create AAC version”.
- Click the new version of the song and select “Get info”.
- On the top of the new screen select “Options”, and edit the Start Time and Stop Time (This will be the ringtone, and don’t forget to check both boxes next to the respective timers)
- Just pick your favorite part of the song to make it a ringtone.
- Find this edited music file in your iTunes Music folder (or whatever you renamed it to) and check the extension.
- If it’s .m4a, change it to .m4r (a = Audio, r = Ringtone) And you’re good to go.

*If you sync it and it says it wasn’t loaded because it could not be found, just restart the iPhone when you finish syncing and it should be under the “Custom” category of your ringtones.

Enjoy! |*-*|

Has anyone heard of Apple sending out a virus to Jailbroken phones? I work with several guys who have Jailbroken phones using Windows Vista. They all had issues after Jailbreaking including not being able to dial out or receive incoming calls. One of them had his phone lock up solid and had to go to the Apple Store to get it restored costing him $75. One of the employees told him Apple is trying to combat Jailbreaking by randomly sending out a program (virus) to disable the phone. My iPhone is at 2.2 and Jailbroken using XP and have not had any problems for the last several months. Just wondering if anyone knows someone experiencing similar issues.

great stuff, to jailbreak your iphone opens up a whole new world and gives you the chance to really pimp your iphone.

The best ringtone maker for the iphone out there is iRinger… it lets u pick which part of the song u wana make a ringtone and then exports it straight to iTunes so u dont have to do any dragging or dropping… simplae as this, goto iRinger.com and download the file…. works great!!!

in an unbroken iphone you can make ringtones using garage band.

I don’t see the purpose of jailbreaking. I added custom ringtones to my iphone 3g without it in 10 minutes…

Not sure about jailbreaking my new 3g 2.2 iPhone now as I see only downsides to this process

What a waste you dont need to hack you iphone to install custom ringtones. I do it all day using only itunes….http://lethann.wordpress.com/2008/07/15/howto-make-your-own-custom-ringtones-for-iphone-20-3g/ Easy as pie not hacking involved.. unfortunately it doesn’t work for purchased mp3s in itunes…But if your reading this you probably have limewire or something

Jail-breaking is not simply to make your own ring tones as this page might suggest. Jail-breaking your iphone opens up the possibility to basically do absolutely anything you want with your phone. You can have a banana as you start-up screen instead of an apple, a can of soda on you battery charge screen instead of the usual battery bar, you get the idea. The most powerful feature of jail-breaking to date however, are the thousands upon thousands of FREE apps you can download through Cydia(basically a jail-broken phone’s app store) Some of these apps include FM radio tuners, Nintendo game emulators, Swap Tunes (the ability to have two separate and distinct music libraries on one phone), a video camera app to create live video with audio, the ability to create folders for apps on your home screen so as not to maximize to the nine pages of space the phone gives for apps at full capacity, more games than you can think of, and to top it all off, a variety of apps from the actual app store as well! These are just a few examples, so do your research before saying its a waste of time to jail-break. I’d rather jail-break than waste my time waiting for apple to finally come out with these apps, and then waste my money paying for them. News flash: the only reason the app store even came about was because apple found out about this and wanted a way to make money off of third-party applications for the phone. Any app that doesn’t get apple’s “blessing” is because they haven’t yet figured out how to make the most money off it yet.

So, let me make sure I have this straight… The ONLY way for me to download ringtones, other than the ones APPLE provides, is to jailbreak my iPhone?

can u get tether after you jail break the iphone??????????

Hello, I must be the only one w/ this problem because I can’t get a straight answer. This is the first time I actually ask, because lately I’ve just been doing research.
I received a jailbroken itouch for X-mas, great gift, I love it!!! It had recent movies, and music. But I do not know how to add more to it. Is there an interface that I can use w/ my jailbroken ITouch to add and edit movies and music WITHOUT ITunes! Please help! Most out there don’t recognize my ITouch and only do music. Thanks ahead of time, I would truly appreciate any help.

I use iphone ringtone maker works great and my Iphone is straight out the box, not sure I want to jailbreak my iphone yet

DONT DO IT……….
take forever to restore after you fuck it up… not worth it….

that is not correct Jill – It can be done without jailbreaking.

Waste of time, messed up phone so had to restore…

So, let me make sure I have this straight… The ONLY way for me to download ringtones, other than the ones APPLE provides, is to jailbreak my iPhone?

yes you can put custom ringtones on your phone for free:
1. choose the section of the song you want
2. right-click and choose get info, then go to options and change the song times to what you want
3. convert to aac and drag off to your desktop
4. change the file extension to .m4r rather then the .m4a
5. put back onto itunes and sync

i hope this helps, it works with current iphone firmware and itunes

yu don’t have to jailbreak ur iphone to have custom rigntones…all yu have to do is in the itunes, right click on the a track cut it to make it aroun 20-30 seconds, right click on the smaller track…choose convert to acc, than find the file n change the .m4a format to .m4r n yu got a ringtone to add to ur iphone

for detailed help on the ringtones jus search iphone ringtones on you tube adn yu willl find few vids takin yu thru it step by step

how ever, i gotta ask wut are hte benefits of jailbreakin an iphone???

Jailbreaking means you can get other apps on you phone apart from the ones on appstore
It is also possible to ge the appstore ones for free, but that is a breach of copywrite.

Not everybody has downloaded their music from i tunes. Most of my music collection has been from many years and mostly .mp3 format. I don’t want to download the song again from i tunes just to use it as a ringtone.

You dont have to. Just do what has been said above and it will work whether you donwloaded from itunes or not.

As an iPhone tech support agent, I just love calls from iPhone owners who have jail broken their phones. It gives me such satisfaction to say “I’m sorry sir or ma’am, but you’ve voided any warranty and support you would have had on your $400.00 toy. Call T-Mobile for support. Have a nice day!”

….. As an iPhone owner who has successfully jail-broken my phone and have never had a problem, it gives me “such satisfaction” to know that I am making the most out of the $500 “toy” that I bought by jail-breaking it. Seriously now, the fact that Apple is lashing out at the whole jail-break thing is ridiculous (tech support brainwashed idiots included)
Here’s a good example: you go buy a new computer…. Then you find some extremely useful programs to put on your computer that you can get for free, and the company who sold it to you gets pissed and says you can’t do that basically because they don’t make any money off of it….so they void your warranty. That is what Apple is doing with the iPhone. I’ve jail-broken mine and several of my friends iPhones and have yet to have an issue with anything. Of course, maybe I’m not worried about the cost because I don’t work as an Apple tech support recording….. I mean “agent”

can someone tell me how to make the iphone work with tmobile please thanks

Holy Cow! Now I’m glad I didn’t try this. Somehow when you put it like that, it just isn’t that great of an idea after all…

You’re right Jill. It might be okay for some, but I wouldn’t take that chance. And, I was being sarcastic when I said I loved saying that. Fact is, you can get phone support for jailbroken phones, until it’s determined that the jailbreak has affected the firmware.. Then it’s no-go. Just my two cents worth.

Well hopefully a lot of people will see our posts and make the “wise” choice.

Thanks for your 2¢

Just keep telling yourself that Steve It’s folks like you who scream the loudest when things do go south.
Adding programs to a computer is not the same, by the way. But I fear that you may not have the ability to understand the difference.
Noone is lashing out about jailbreaking phones. Go for it! I support you in your endeavor, and while you’re at it, put some 3rd party brakes on your car, along with “Bubba’s discount seatbelts”. Good luck, buddy!

Mark,

I apologise as I obviously offended you with my comments, but the main reason I even posted and got into this discussion was because of your original post proclaiming your love for telling people they are screwed when the iPhone breaks due to jail-breaking. A little upsetting and ignorant to say the least.

Despite your accusations, I do understand that installing programs on a computer is not the same, however installing third party programs on your computer with powerful and beneficial applications is quite the same. So, it would be a pretty good analogy…….which is exactly what that was… an analogy.

Truth is I didn’t jail-break to to save money on apps. For me and alot of people I know who have done it, it’s about the apps that you can get that Apple has not come out with that are useful for our jobs and everyday lives. For me its not about getting astro-tilt or monkey ball for free, it’s about having a video camera with sound, a remote access program to get information from my office computer while on the road, etc. Basically I want the phone that I purchased to be used to its full capacity. So that’s how I use it.

I have a thorough enough understanding of the iPhone programming that I would never have to call and “scream the loudest”. Mainly because there’s probably nothing that support could tell me that I don’t already know about it. I do however, appreciate your support of my endeavor “buddy”…. because I’d be nowhere without your support… If your real name is Mark Simmons I’ll have to call Apple tech support sometime so we can chat about all the things my phone can do. I know you work for Apple and you have to agree with them about everything, but you would probably find this stuff useful. Anyhow, I’m done now.

-Steve

Wow Steve, such anger.

Can’t we all just agree “to each their own” and leave it at that?

Mark was only trying to help…

I had no idea that doing such a thing would void my warranty. I am grateful for that information.

Jill,

I appreciate your concern but all I was simply doing was making my own point understood more clearly after Mark tried to disprove it. It was more sarcasm than anger. In my first post i admit it was more angry, but that was because his original post sounded pretty ignorant and unforgiving. Sorry if you misunderstood that part. It’s all in good fun and arguing. I’d say between the two of us we represent each side of the argument quite well. You can side with his side of the argument if you feel that’s best for you. As for me, I simply maintain that I like my phone to be more than just an iPod that takes calls. But that’s what I need.

Hi Steve
Can i jailbreak a 3G 2.1 iphone?

Clive,

You can. You just can’t unlock it to be used on other networks yet to my knowledge. You should check out a few websites as well as YouTube demonstrations to see which program/method works best for you and your computer.

Thanks for that
Clive

DO NOT USE THIS SOFTWARE WITH iPHONE 3G!!!!!! FUCKING SUCKS

ok…i was told as im in ontario if i jailbreak my phone apple will not honor the warrenty if my phone effs up is this true?

I jailbrok my 2g now cannot call out help

Hi All
which itunes has firmware .vs 2.1 in it
thanks
clive

Bailey, You’ll get support normally, but jailbreaking can damage your phone, in which case.. no support.

Ok so on the 13th jan I picked up two 3g iphones one for me and one for the wife set hers up v 2.1 from cpw in the uk did not jailbreak that one. So when it came to me the phone was v 2.2 from o2.
So I have downgraded the 2.2 to 2.1 and jailbreak all went well now have installer and cydia.
Have been talking to a shop in Nottingham and he said no problem to unlock a 3g 2.2 to work with any sim, not a turbo sim a software unlock. in fact he said go home upgrade to the 2.2 from itunes and bring it back and he will unlock. (COMMENTS)

I’m not positive whether or not it was said in the comments, but (at least with Mac computers) there is a way to customize your ringtones without jailbreaking your iPhone at all. Here’s how:

1. Right click on a song in your iTunes Library, press “Get Info,” then choose the “Options” tab.
2. Choose the 30-or-less second clip you would like to play as your ringtone via the start and stop options. Then click “okay” at the bottom of the window.
3. Re-right click on the song, and choose to convert to AAC format. After this is done, another approximately 30-second long song should appear above or below the original song.
4. Click-and-drag the song onto your desktop. It’s much easier to do so if, after picking up the song, you press F11.
5. Go back to iTunes, and delete the 30-second clip. When prompted, choose to “keep file”.
6. Go back to desktop (press F11 again), and change the tag at the end of the name from “.m4a” to “.m4r”. When asked, confirm the change to “.m4r”.
7. Drag the file back into iTunes.

There should be a new song in your “Ringtones” folder in iTunes. Just sync your iPhone to the computer, and it will be added to the options in “settings”.

Re: the back and forth between Mark and Steve. I’m an IS engineer and I just got my 3G iPhone a few days ago to test drive it for company-wide replacement of our Blackberries and Palms and I have to side with Steve. Most annoying is the 13yr-old level dictionary. I try to type “definitely” and it suggests “Devi”. What the hell is a “Devi”? Now I discover that I have to illegally hack my phone to bypass spending ridiculous amounts of time training it to have a respectable business dictionary unlike our current phones. If you review your personal computer (PC) history, you’ll remember Apple lost because of their closed architecture mentality. I’ve only had my iPhone for 3 days and already the blush is wearing off. If I have to spend more than 30 seconds learning how to change my boring black background, I’m annoyed. Oh, that’s right, I have to hack this phone unlike all others to do that….. Innovation is the key to advancement and is the antidote to apathy. Has anyone tried the Google Android? Damn, I’m glad I paid attention in Spelling class. Any typos courtesy of Apple. Ttul8r!

Jailbreaking will remove EVERYTHING that is in your phone and you will have to reload it.

I would contact Apple and see what they suggest.

Jimmy, Contact AT&T. Apple has nothing to do with voicemail, as it’s stored on the carriers server. You might even consider playing on speakerphone, and capturing on your computer with something like Audacity, a free and simple program, then saving as mp3’s.

@ Mark Simmons

Your arguments about 3rd party software/Car parts is way off. Very few car parts these days come from the original manufacturer of whatever vehicle you are fixing it with. Even if you take your car to the dealer for work covered under warranty, the parts will likely not come from the same company. That does not make them any less safe, or effective.

There is a risk when installing anything on your phone, even software from Apple. Apple is not perfect, and their software has tons of bugs in it. The warranty that comes with the iPhone is terrible, and the phone support agents are a joke. It is definitely not worth the fear you are trying to spread on this topic. Let the example that Mark has been speak for itself. Would you want someone like Mark provide support for you? Of course he is going to talk people out of jailbreaking. HE WORKS FOR APPLE. Mark, just go back to the Apple website and jerk off with the rest of your idiot support friends.

Jailbreaking works. Any problems that arise are caused by not following the instructions correctly. There are many jailbreaking methods that take the human error possibilities out of the process. Yes, as jerk-wad has established multiple times, it will void your warranty. However, you can restore the phone via iTunes to put it back into it’s original state if you change your mind, or if you do need to send it in.

Now for my helpful advice:

If you really are still on the fence about jailbreaking, ask yourself this: What do you do if your computer boots up to, “Non system disk or disk error”? Keep in mind, ‘calling Tech Support’ is not an option in this scenario.

If you don’t have any clue where to start on this problem, you probably shouldn’t jailbreak your iPhone.

Good Luck to everyone!

Jailbreaking – allows one to put on 3rd party software that Apple has authorized…at least yet

Unlocking- hacks it so you can use it on any 3G carrier. This is pretty useless in the US because you still won’t be able to use on Verizon, who uses a different technology. At&t is the best 3G by far. Unfortunately that’s not saying much though. T-Mobile and Sprint’s networks really suck.

As for jailbreaking your iPhone and voiding any warranty, that zipperhead phone-tech Mark from Apple neglected to tell you that you can just reset your phone to the original settings and back to the original software package. This won’t harm anything and apple won’t be able to see that you previously jailbroke your phone. I would certainly do this before you brought it into apple for anything, just remember to also back-up your jailbroken programs on your computer before you reset, so you don’t waste time when you jailbreak it again.

You don’t need to jailbreak to custom ringtones, its very easy with iTunes and Garageband. Just google it. Also, there is now a turn-by-turn NAV app for iPhone, but only if you jailbreak. The advantages are less than before, but still plentiful. Heck, who wants a phone with no wallpaper?

I loaded ringtones on with out jailbreaking

ok so should i jailbreak or shouldnt i? im getting bored with my iphone and i already voided by warranty bc one of my water sensors were triggered some how

Jailbreaking does not wipe your voicemail or text messages. Where do you people come up with this crap? Are you just plain stupid? I downloaded the latest firmware today, backed up my phone, upgraded it, jailbroke it, ran aptbackup to restore all my third party apps, and was done in under 15 minutes. WITH NO PROBLEMS. I didn’t lose ANYTHING either. Quickpwn. The end.

You Idiots.

basically ive dne all the things people hav posted about creating a ringtone for 3 with i tunes…

however what is the best program to use when changing the file from mp4a to mp4r. when it appears on my desktop its with vlc media player….

some 1 please help m because it is really starting to piss me off…i hate apple bt i luv my iphone

Has anyone had any bad experiences? I need to know whether this is worth doing?

How do u change the file extension of a song. I have vista. Does that matter.

my iphone is under a contract where i pay each month and i get unlimited internet, if i jailbreak it will i loose my contract?

I just bought an Iphone..they SUCK! These are nothing but a fancy kids phone. I am going back to windows mobile. Apple has locked this thing up so much that you can not use it without jailbreaking it. This thing has real promise but apple will have to pull their head out of their proprietary asses and stop bending to the will of ATT. They have the best display and the best internet interface but it ends there if you need your phone for business.

Heh heh..

I would like to remove the restriction placed on the bluetooth conectivity ,ie listen to the music with wireless headset.is this possible with the jailbreak function? Further there are invitations to purchase,alledgedly foolproof downloads for $35 to $45 with mony back garantees ,is this a sofisticated scam ? I appologise if this appears a lame Question ,my experiences are elseware.Thanks
If apple provided the facility i would be happy to have purchased from them,it apears to me that they create their own problems in the persuit of control.

Hang tight Joe, we are being told that the 3.0 release will support bluetooth functionality such as that. Speculation is a June release!

dident work for me i disconect it and it came like words pls help how do i restore i cant even connect in itunes

haha. idiot. I run 2 different businesses, and I’ve had a variety of the Windows Mobile phones. The iPhone kills those. This guy/girl just doesn’t know how to use it, because I can do everything and so much more my WM phones could. This thing connects to my exchange server, remote desktops in, etc. Sure it doesn’t have MS office, but who freakin cares, I can remote into my desktop and use MS Office right from there, and even have it printed out on my printer when I come into the office. I’m an IT guy, and have all my client servers setup on my iPhone. I took a small vacation in AZ, and a client had a server problem, i was walking around at a swap meet, jumped on the iPhone, remoted in to the server, fix the prob, and all was well, and charged them for the “service call”. I’ll say this much, I hate apple computers, I’ve tried using them, and Windows kicks their butts, but when it comes to phones, screw MS, Apple rocks. Every time I login to AppStore, I’m blown away at the new gadget I can use, that MS doesn’t offer. Try using the phone for more than 5 minutes before you pass judgement. My first look at the iPhone, i thought it was stupid also. The next day, I knew it was the one. I’m hooked. iPhone forever.

I completely agree with you Steve (been reading the postings). And the thing is, i find it extremely insane that it wasnt until second generation that iphone started using 3g?? There really was no reason for that when almost any other phone could do it by the time the first iphone came out. And when i mean almost any phone i mean any phone that made internet browing one of the strongest capabilities for the phone. THEN 3g came with no support for picture messaging or video cam? Again, the picture messaging issue was FINALLY resolved for free but the video cam had to wait for a NEW phone.. so yes even when im a fan of apple fo excellent computers. To them is ALL about making money and that is the truth because there is no rational explanation about the way things developed. And how about exclusivity with AT&T? I mean that was obviously NOT the choice of customers but the company; again, about money. You keep saying is a risk to jailbreak and that its dumb but the truth is, it would NOT be necessary if apple gave the consumers the option to add those features in the first place. Yes it is an expensive phone; then why am i stuck with 1 phone company and with CERTAIN capabilities for the phone (that obviously could be bypassed)? If apple will charge 400 for a phone then it should be FULL of features.. especially the MOST common ones among phones

Alejandro. I think the iPhone is WAY full of features. And before you slam Apple, know the facts. Picture messaging (or MMS) is strictly a feature of the carrier. Apple has no say in how AT&T utilizes their bandwidth.
As far as being about making money, you’re 100% correct! What company is in business to NOT make money? Apple is not in business to “give stuff away”. So please, either enjoy your iPhone to the fullest, or move on to something else. I think that with well over 21 million iphones sold to date, Apple is doing something right.

[...] think it is right that you are limited to using AT&T’s phone system? It is pretty easy to ‘jailbreak’ your iPhone, and set it up for use with other cell carriers — whyshould Apple care? It is [...]

I know a procedure to install custom ringtones into the iphone (even with itunes 8.2 and iphone soft 3.0, or even older versions)without having to jailbreak it, the procedure is very simple and can be done in less than a minute. Mail me to donforever /a/ gmail for the procedure.

The latest OS 3.0 doesnt have bluetooth file transmit functionality eventhough you can bound to expect certain 3rd party itunes approved apps to have this cross-functionality using certain features such as net tethering offered by iphone built in capabilities.
