Seeing as I supplied so many iPhones for you people! I thought we should have a little iPhone thread where we can share some of our awesome apps and mods.
For tutorials http://www.widgx.net/iphone
First off, get Installer.app it's great for installing stuff.
Next, get TapTap Revolution and install this mod.
http://www.everythingiphone.c[....]hics-w-ishare-links-11680.html
I was the first person to shout, no mms, no customizable ringtones, no 3g... I'll pass. BUT coupled with my N95 (I have two mobiles anyway) I've got EVERYTHING now. My justification is that I always take an mp3 player and psp for video, now I don't need those two.
What do you all recommend?

Now I've unlocked quite a few of these phones by now, and from my experience, NO TWO ARE THE SAME!
Each one had a tiny fault in my opinion (Perhaps I'm just a perfectionist).
From the three that I have no, I notice that the top left of the glass of one of them is a little bit inside and not flush with the frame unlike the others.
One had a bit of glue on the base
One has a tiny scratch (only noticable under the workbench spotlight).
Now that's not all, I've also noticed that the backlight is not the same!
The one with the indented glass has a much realistic white tone, the rest have a slightly yellow hue.
I am happy that they put plastic on the screen, but I do not understand why they didn't slit holes in the ear peice or the button area and let us use it as a screen guard!

Well I wouldn't bother using one for mp3 myself, the K800 serves that purpose just as well. However as a display device for video, photo gallery viewing and web browsing no one can deny the iphone is an excellent tool.
IF I could afford one, and knew I could gaurantee Apple won't brick it on me, then I'd certainly be interested in one as a SECOND device. I could never use it as my sole mobile device since it's so restricted.

I doubt it'll ever get bricked. Come the 3G version I'm sure that the dev team will have modded firmware.
Posted by max_wedge
true and it's just a matter of not updating until you know a third party hack is available for the update. Unlike the nongs in my link who 1. updated even though Apple clearly stated the phone would be bricked if it had 3rd party customisations, and 2. who actually told apple the phone had 3rd party hacks! Why not just say "I dunno, it just stopped working"? It probably would have been reflashed under warranty and away they go!

OOOOOO I'm in.
Favourite app so far is the NES Emulator, can't beat a bit of Track and Field, and Super Mario Bros. When you are bored shitless lol.
Some of the summerboard add-ons are cool too, allowing to remove and adjust icons etc.
Not really went too much into it, but natetrue has a VM piece os software which allows you to remotely control your PC via Wireless which is also pretty sweet.

Can the nes emulator run standard roms?
Posted by amnesia
yep they use standard roms. My girlfriend enjoys playing mario.
The best thing is that the screen rotates depending on how you hold it.
Posted by lemmy31
Hey Amnesia, thanks for loading the NES emulator on that iphone you sold me, the screen rotation is so clever, in the NES emulator and in safari. It might not have all the features of other phones, but what it does it does so well...cheers again

Cool! I have a j2me NES emulator and some roms, works quite well on K800, but no screen rotation

Yeah thats what ive got on mine (martin fields)...covers the whole screen incluing around the button and speakers...Not like others just the screen area.
Isnt the screen on the iphone the same as on the touch?...Ive seen a few vids on youtube where its virtually impossible to scratch.

Ok dudes i have another wee issues, when i get a text the iPhone will only display the senders number not their name. Even though they are in my contacts?
Look below for a photo of what i mean, very strange.
Posted by Superluminova
I just solved my own question! you hve to save the number with the area code or else it won't display the name etc.!
Posted by amnesia
I use the iQase protector.
@Super, wait what? Not all countries have area codes :S
I've just installed a message indicator as well via iBrickr. It shows a little icon on the top right when you get a text message or email.

I have an iphone as my secondary phone and I think it is a very nice device

Have a look at this thread on Hackintosh:
http://hackint0sh.org/forum/showthread.php?t=7736
I used the 8 character solution and now have all my number stored in international format and the caller is recognised when they call and text me.

What are you all doing to stop reduction in quality of photos when you transfer it to the iPhone?
Mine look terrible! Quality is seriously reduced...

No just use the 7 or 8 digit version, it will work fine with those, I tried the 10 digit, as that is technically what UK residents should get away with, but didn't work so opted for the 7 digit version, which works a treat.
How many people do you know who's last 7 digit of their numbers are indentical?? lol
Posted by Marc_SE
I've noticed that the quality for photos is reduced as well Amnesia.
Just used VisualHub (Mac app) to re-encode the music videos I had on the iPhone so I can store a few more as well.
Posted by Spitfire
I jusst hawe a question hear could somone with an Iphone take a picture off the iphone beside a other phone lets say an SE P1 ?
i wanna se how it comapers in size.
if any one would do that i would be so grateful
Posted by haynesycop
When do you apple will introduce accessories for it, if they do at all? Was hoping for a case like the one they introduced for the ipod, there did seem to be a BT headset in the announcement? I'm also after a screen protector and wondered what size to get?
Posted by Jools
@Spitfire:

Here are some snaps of my iPhone with my P1 and even my cheeky wee Nano.
Enjoy!
Posted by amnesia
lol at your photoshop jools
@hayney, there are tons, just check out www.apple.com and then the store.
I'm personally waiting for an incase case (either red or black
)
Posted by haynesycop
Aye there are but i mean official apple accessories, would have thought they'd bring out a case, so far, it just seems to be the BT headset and some docks & cables. The BT headset is rather tempting, just checking out some reviews.

Hi all iphoners @ esato
I also became a iphone user few days ago. I find if quite cool although i still need to get used to it. I have encountered a problem earlier today,.. a friend of mine tried to send me a picture over bluetooth. He saw my iphone but wasnt able to send,.. Has anyone managed to do that?
And also,.. all of you that "installed appz" on your iphone. Is there an msn messenger client available? I saw an IM,...
Posted by seunlock-uk

I bet once you've used one you'll want a mac instead of a vaio, hehehe!
Posted by masseur
oi! steady on! mac instead of vaio?... no way!
actually, the only thing I have liked about Apple recently is their choice of video used in their recent campain, i.e. the video of Feist 1,2,3,4 which I hadn't seen before but which is incredible!

On thing i have noticed if you try and TXT a number say 81555 like ive just tried (fifth gear competition)..It inputs it 8155-5 and when you go to send the message it pops up with an error.
Is there a fix for this out there?
