iJailBreak is an automated jailbreaker for your iPod Touch or iPhone
To jailbreak, go into Installer.app, tap sources at the bottom right, then Edit at the top right, then Add at the top left, and add ijailbreak.com/repo.plist. Then, under the iJailBreakMobile category, choose the right upgrade package for you - if you’re on a jailbroken 1.1.1, choose 1.1.1; if you’re on a jailbroken 1.1.2, choose 1.1.2. The installation should take about 45 minutes, depending on your Internet connection. Once done, the device will try to reboot automatically. If you see that it’s stuck with just the “spinning cog” on the screen, it’s safe to manually reboot the device, at which point you’ll enter into 1.1.3.

Orb Unlocks iPhone and iPod Touch From iTunes

Initial review of iPhone
I remember that the first few times I try a new cell phone, I wish it would just work the way my old one did. So I'm trying to factor that in, and imagine what it will be like to use it later, but it's not easy.
I was able to register with AT&T, choose a service plan, get a phone number, and make a phone call. I was able to use Google Maps to locate my house, and while YouTube was slow, and so was the email app, even though both were running over my fast wifi as opposed to the relatively slow AT&T network, they were all usable and useful, and in some cases represent features the Blackberry doesn't have, and would be nice to have. But there are optimizations I hope Apple makes soon.
This is my fifth iPod, and it works differently from the last one. I like to use my iPod with manual synchronization, but that doesn't appear to be possible with this one. I'm not happy about that! I have my iPod act down, and I want to use this relatively small one (it has just a 4GB capacity) the same way I use my larger, 60GB video iPod. It doesn't seem possible.
Look, all the other people reviewing the iPhone are gushing. I just don't have that in me, at least at the beginning.
And there's a major usability problem with the Safari web browser, it's hard to believe that Apple didn't see and fix this problem before shipping, because it seems to make all websites unusable in the default configuration, with the default font choice, and there doesn't seem to be a way to change their choice of font. Is it possible they made this choice so that the TV commercial would look good, and forgot to test the browser the way real people will use it? I must be missing something??
iPhone reviews: what users and experts say?
The iPhone is one of the most beautifully designed technology products I have ever used. Not only does it look great, but the usability puts even its good looks in the shade. The fact that you need no stylus to use the iPhone, speaks volumes about its user interface. As a music player it excels, as a mobile Internet device it excels, but as a phone it’s strangely disappointing. And when it comes to features, the T-Mobile Vario III is still a far more powerful mobile…
So what’s your opinion about the phone?

Buy your iphone
First up, let me say that everything you may have heard about the iPhone interface being revolutionary is completely true, and then some! I honestly can't describe to you how much of a pleasure the iPhone is to use, and compared to pretty much any other mobile device, it's in a completely different league. This comes as no surprise, since Apple has always known how to create fantastic user interfaces - but despite already knowing this, and expecting it, I still found myself completely blown away when I started using the iPhone.
From the virtual sliding bar to unlock the phone, to the single Home button below the screen, absolutely everything in the iPhone has been designed with the end user in mind. Yes, it's true that the iPhone doesn't really do anything that a Windows Mobile device can't do, but whereas Microsoft expects the user to learn how to use its OS, Apple has designed the iPhone OS to be as simple and intuitive as possible. The result is that anyone who picks up an iPhone feels at ease with the interface within a couple of minutes.
Putting the interface to one side for a moment, I really have to mention the other area where Apple continually excels - product design. Even by Apple's own high standards, the iPhone is a beautiful looking product. The glossy black screen fascia, is offset by a solid chrome surround, while the back of the device is also metal, giving the whole thing a quality feel. Some may be put off by the 145g weight, but personally I feel that the weight adds to the solid, high quality feel of the iPhone. If there's one criticism, it's that all that glass and metal makes the iPhone quite slippery in the hand, so you need to make sure you have a good grip whenever you're retrieving it from your pocket.
With dimensions of 115 x 61 x 12mm (HxWxD) the iPhone is hardly small by phone standards, but Apple made a judgement call in this department. One of the most important aspects of the iPhone is the screen, so the overall size of the device is dictated by the size of the screen. Once you view the 3.5in display, you instantly realise that Apple made the right decision. The iPhone may not be as light or svelte as many other phones on the market, but the screen, with its 480 x 320 resolution definitely makes the size and weight worthwhile.
Iphone UK customer reviews
We have been putting the Apple iPhone to the test ever since it was launched in the UK. Here’s our verdict on Apple’s mobile phone and iPod, couple with the contract that O2 insists you take out. The iPhone is available in the UK via O2 for £269.
There’s plenty to love, and plenty to lament about Apple’s new mobile. With its solid design and a beautiful, touch-sensitive 480 x 320-pixel screen the iPhone is beautiful to look at and a joy to use. Its browser, while not as versatile as the one on a desktop or laptop, is impressive and - at a stroke - has made all other mobile internet devices look antiquated and woeful. And of course, it works fine for making phone calls.

An unlock will damage your new iphone?
The unlock made the iPhone useful and free to anyone round the globe, not only to those in specific countries.
A spokesman of the company who developed the iPhone unlock promised a tool which will restore the iPhone to factory-fresh state.
“We will provide you with a tool in the next week which will be able to recover your nck counter and seczones and even enables you to restore your phone to a Factory-like state. In the meantime we advise you not to update your free iPhone with the upcoming firmware. Wait for the next version to be fixed to work properly with your carrier and not break your phone.

A user review of apple iphone
Without even exploring the phone, there are several noticeable pros of this device. Firstly, anyone who looks at this phone will notice the incredibly large touch screen. This is definably a plus for those users who struggle to read the content on a smaller screen. From the commercials that were displayed months prior to the release (and after the product was released), a huge amount of unique features, such as the ability to use Safari and iTunes on one device, were introduced. Finally, this is an Apple product and Apple has a long history of providing quality entertainment products.
There are many noticeable cons of this product that can be observed before the unit is even turned on. Perhaps the biggest initial issue with the iPhone is the outrageous amount of money necessary to purchase the unit. Another issue a lot of users will have is that the iPhone is currently exclusive to AT&T service. Finally, many users may shy away from the iPhone because of the visible lack of a keyboard.
Calling
The iPhone is essentially a phone and this phone has many good qualities to it. The iPhone incorporates a simple calling system, which allows it to be the one feature users will not have to adjust to using. The contact management system is nice and allows for easy management of all contacts. The five call function categories are sufficient for most users. The favorites category, for example, is nothing more than Apple's own version of speed dial. The dialpad used to dial out to other people is nothing more than the industry standard 12-key system.
Even though the iPhone is a solid communication device, there are several issues that deserve to be mentioned. For example, it is quite a hassle to find contacts as the system lacks a keyboard interface to search for them. Numbers typed in the dialpad are not saved as contacts, so the user will have to remember the number and manually add it to their contact list. Another issue is that call quality is average to say the best. Along with that, the person receiving the call will receive the same quality of sound that the iPhone user will. Finally, it should be noted that custom ringtones and MP3 ringtones cannot currently be used with the iPhone.
Hardware
Users will first notice the sleek design of the iPhone and how this look was properly done by Apple. The phone is made with sturdy and beautiful materials, such as a finely detailed back panel. The curvy design fits in the hand nicely, which makes it extremely comfortable to hold. The iPhone is equipped with a very nice two megapixel camera that is nicely blended into the design of the phone. The cellular device also includes a standard audio and microphone port for those wishing to treat their iPhone like an iPod. Speaking of which, the default iPhone headphones are pretty solid for those who want to start listening to music without buying a pair. The display of the iPhone is well designed as the screen is extremely resistant to scratching.
While the hardware of the iPhone is nearly perfect, it does have flaws. For example, Apple has a recessed audio port which prevents a number of headphones from being connected to the unit. Another issue with the hardware is that sometimes the phone will freeze while charging and will, in some instances, require a soft reset. Another issue with the iPhone is the lack of 3G support and the sometimes buggy Bluetooth interface.
Software
Let's face it, someone isn't buying an iPhone just for the hardware. The advantages and innovations of the software of the iPhone is what warrants it of the high price tag. One of the biggest innovations in the iPhone is the finger controlled user interface. For example, users can navigate through the iPhone by making different motions, such as drags and taps, with their fingers. The virtual keyboard is another big innovation, removing the need for an external keyboard that can be prone to jams, scratches, and such. There is also a horizontal version of the keyboard for use in Safari which makes internet browsing a whole lot easier. Speaking of Safari, it is one of many convenient programs that have been bundled with the iPhone. Some of these programs include a calendar, calculator, a SMS client, and a YouTube viewer.
With the new technology introduced in the iPhone, there are sure to be disadvantages. For example, the user interface is inconsistent from program to program. Due to this fact, the user interface system requires a learning curve and patience before someone can fully master the system. Another con of the iPhone software is that the theme cannot be customized by the user. To add on to this issue, different applications are themed differently and there is a lack of consistency. Yet another con of this software is that the virtual keyboard does not feel as good as a physical keyboard. The virtual keyboard is also prone to typing inconsistencies, such as confusing a 'N' for a 'M'. Yet another issue with the virtual keyboard is that one key must be released before the user can press another key. To further add to the list of issues, the virtual keyboard forces users to switch to the alternative symbol keyboard to use a period. More keyboard issues include the inability to easily switch between caps on and caps off, the fact that all text looks capitalized when it is being typed, and the fact that hitting the space bar when typing numbers will send you back to the letters keyboard. The internal dictionary is also buggy and will require some user additions to avoid aggravation. Finally, it is worth mentioning that some of the programs, such as the YouTube viewer, are buggy when viewing certain videos over certain connections.
The Final Verdict
If you are into high tech gadgets, the iPhone is for you. If you simply desire a phone with a few extra quirks, then you should probably go with another option.
Final Rating: 7/10
