    My sons got an old iphone, over a year old now, he has done this to his. He says it frees up a lot more options in the phone but at the same time he said it has slowed it down and he regrets doing it now.

    I wouldnt bother with it, id hate to think i would fuck something and then regret it and not have a clue what i have done.

    I'm more than happy as i am with it at the moment.

    well said!

    however, the jailbreak process is totally reversible, you can just do a restore via itunes

    however, i like it as it is...and i've already had one replacement cos two DAYS after i owned it some tit spilled a round of jagerbombs all over me and fucked it :lol:

    Obvious ones are eBay, Google and Facebook.

    Others:

    - Last.fm
    - Shazam
    - Where (helps you find stuff)
    - Truveo (video app)
    - Movies (film times etc)
    - Fring (MSN messenger, Skype etc)

    I also use Remote (control iTunes library over WiFi) and VLC Remote (for VLC obv)

    I actually bought one...LogMeIn Ignition, which allows me to connect to my home/work/whatever other PC from anywhere.

    These all work well over 3G too.

    For once I was stunned (in a good way!) with o2's Customer Serivce

    they wouldnt really give me a deal on it, but it was there the next morning.

    I didnt have a 3G sim card...that was there within a day also

    and when mine "went faulty" (the jagerbomb incident) the immediately shipped a replacement and didn't ask for the old one back first, they just took it on delivery of the new one!

    Currently I don't have any more reccomendations.

    However I may look into Jailbreaking. A colleague has done it and it's opened up a whole load of new shit which is well suited to a geek such as myself.

    More info coming!
