Also a tip if you want accessories never buy them in local retail stores, they are an absolute rip off. Shop amazon, ebay and dealextreme.com (direct from china). Case in point I bought extra wall plug chargers & usb cable… on dealextreme I think it cost $3 + 2… at futureshop I’ve seen it advertised “ON SALE” for $25 + 15 + tax. A clear stick on screen protectors is absolutely necessary and cost $1-2 online, or $15-30 at local stores, it’s an insanely stupid rip off.

If you get hooked like me you’ll find yourself with a computer dock + speakers, bedroom alarm clock/stereo dock, car stereo hookup (and car charger since we’re a 2 iPhone + iPod touch family), extra wall chargers, carrying cases, soft silicone ear buds, etc.

Let me know if you want some good iphone app/game recommendations.

Holy crap Jordan – you are scaring me!

First I have to learn how to use the basic functions of the phone…then I’ll move on from there!

Jailbreak that thing! http://www.blackra1n.com it’s free and takes all of 2 minutes. There are quick tutorials on youtube, search for “iphone blackra1n tutorial”

There are so many AMAZING addons that apple will never allow on the phone. One of the best is being able to run multiple apps at once and swipe between them like the Palm Pre! And run VOIP apps on your 3G connection (ie. free Skype calls)

I’m an iPhone junky so I have so many apps I have an addon that lets me put them into categories instead of swiping between a dozen pages of apps, plus I have a hack so I can display 5 columns of icons for greater density. My lock screen also shows me my todo list, latest emails, weather, calendar, push notifications, sms msgs, voice mails all without having to unlock the phone.

Good luck, have fun!

Thanks for the mention. Looking at the fine print in car ads was more fun than I expected.

Thanks for including my posts.

I have yet to join the mobile internet crowd. I fear I’d become borderline OCD with checking, well, everything–email, twitter, blog states, etc. Also, I like my tiny little phone.
