But you can't get Categories from the App Store, and that's the one thing... along with Inteliscreen, that I really want.
Oh, by the way, when getting an incoming call, is there a way of setting the phone so as not to "Slide to Answer". Just a simple, traditional way of answering would be much better. I checked the settings and can't seem to find a way of doing this.
Now, I must do some work!!!!!! |

Yeah but there are a few things that'll never be made available in the app store ie themeing capabilities and such, and for me QuickGold is the most useful app i have ever used on my iPhone.
But i agree, jailbreaking isnt what it once was, pre-app store. Back in the day of 1.1.4 and even before then, a jailbroken iphone was worlds apart from a non-jb device.
Pleased you got the phone ok scouser_75.... Enjoy! I'm sure you'll be back here with some ?'s, once you managed to put it down that is!

There is, kinda, if you jailbreak it... you can download 'tap to unlock' and 'tap to answer' sliders from Cydia. Then you dont have to swipe everytime you unlock or answer a call....

Thanks Ryan.
Also, I figured out that when phone is on lock and you get a call you have to slide to answer. But if it is not locked then you can tap to answer. Bit weird, but never mind.
I need some games on here so I just tried to go into the App store, but it seems to be down. Can anyone confirm?

bother. I hope it's not got anything to do with my having an italian iPhone!?!?! I can't access app store or itunes.
Will try again a little later.
Edit: Just had a thought - does App Store and iTunes have to be used with wifi? Or can it be used over normal internet?

app store works on any data connection, itunes only works on wifi, but it tells you that if you try to access without wifi
to setup your APN go to settings -> general -> network ->cellular data network

Edit. Nope. There are no APN settings. Where do I get these settings from guys?

jailbreaking is essential still imo..
without it you don't get "full system file access"
forward sms
video recording
mms
MULTITASKING!
and a whole bunch of other tweaks and mods...
