Hey guys smile.gif

I'll most prob be getting an iphone 3g in the UK in about 2 weeks time as i will be studying there for 4 years.

What should i do once i get the phone? I'm aware one of the first things i have to do is download itunes. how about jailbreaking?

what cases would you guys recommend?

i would like to have two. one for casual use and one for sports whereby i can attach the iphone to my wrist. where and how much would these cost?

how about screen protectors?

and can the iphone 3g be jailbreaked safely already? where can i get the apps?

thanks in advance

yes, JB will void warranty, but normally u can restore it before sent for warranty

although my seller do warn me before that Singtel (singapore iphone carrier) are able to check that is the iphone JB before...but he is not sure about it also
