Wah already v8 ka? So fast la.

@Twinkles
People would opt for official unlock rather than the "unlock" by software version. Why u ask? Because the hassle to wait for an unlock everytime apple release new baseband. New baseband will counter back the software unlock. Official unlock on the other hand won't need to worry ... they can upgrade the firmware without worrying that the phone will be locked again. They just need to wait for the jailbreaking to install other 3rd party app.

@CooLeRthings
If you can stand using a stock phone with just apps from AppStore then don't JB but if you want to spice things up with themes, other great 3rd party app from Cydia as an add on to AppStore, solve the number matching thingy, foward SMS (via biteSMS) or transfering songs without itunes then whatcha waitin' for.

For me ... I can't live without jailbreaking the phone. Its like having a PC with just Windows on it without other programs (not comparing to Mac coz u can get up and running just with the preloaded apps). BTW ... I like to explore and know how things work. BUT (there a but also) ... jailbreaking means opening up the system for user access ... so if you don't know what you are doing ... then you might end up screwing it more that getting benefits from it.

In the end ... its your choice and preferences to jailbreak or not. Not like there's someone twisting your arm to JB right?

Jailbreak when u need to and not because everyone are doing it (this only applies to iPhone 3G official unlock version). iPhone 2G still need to jailbreak so we can activate and unlock the phone ... so no choice la ...have to jailbreak.

press power button and then press home button. U will see a flash on the screen, it means tht screenshot is taken.

You are right. I lost count already how many times i have to restore my iphone due to improper editing in the root folder. It is so sensitive that even if u move a file/folder into a root folder, it will cause ur iphone totally stuck in the lockscreen.   Nway if no JB, u wont maximize the potential of ur iphone!

Its fine if you dont, im dont blame you for not udnerstanding my predicament.
You see, im a toy colletor, and like-minded people with the same interest as me pay great attention to not only the goods within, but the box that come with it.

Hence why there are grades such as C9, C8 etc for the BOXES of TOYS. But im sure you would know the gist of what im trying to convey here. In anycase, i share the same feelings like i do for my toys just as i do with the iPhone (as well as most of you here who very so dearly love this gadget).

So, all im trying to convey, is that i view the whole package of the iphone the same way as i view and feel for my toys. But like all purchases one isnt always so lucky in getting nice boxes, while i have two sets (16gb / 8gb) first gens, they both did not come with claudia schiffer-like boxes.

I hope this helps you in further fitting into my shoes. Cheers ! =)

Thanks a lot for your help, hopefully you'll be able to find it. =) Sent u a PM btw.
Hehe hello there fellow toy collector! Im glad there's someone like you around ! Hehehe. 

Off topic:

Hey guys.

Sorry I had to pinjam my gf's account to ask a couple of questions. Hope you guys dont mind.

I wonder is anyone experiencing problems with sending international smses to US?

My sms does reach to her but its not in full. All she gets is "6012275xxxx@irply.net// <insert last few sentance here>"

Currently using Maxis Postpaid and iPhone 2G.

I tried smsing with the same phone phone and different Maxis number also come out same results.

But with my DiGi + SE phone, everything turns out okay.

iPhone setting problem ke? Maxis problem ke? Or her operator?

Stick it to GSM/non-3G first.I get the same errors too, and turning it off fixes that. After that, it latches on to the 3G signal and stays out of error since. Don't have to guess what condition my Aifontriji will be.

I go out to and fro from my place to KLCC almost routinely when I can, and I never fail to turn on Safari web browsing when I can while the bus tracks its route to KLCC. I do notice that on certain areas that were previously running fine with signal strength while in 3G, recently have been getting signal fluctuations. So it may be the telco itself, as I do not change any configuration on the Aifontriji itself, my apps and settings have stayed the same for the last two fortnight. If you eliminate changes by the user, hence errors contributed by the device itself, what is left is the service provider. I believe this is so.

There are no other external variables towards this, as I do not jailbreak mine. Usage patterns have been fairly the same with Safari browsing and Map tracking before 2.2 arrived. Even the routing have been the same, since the bus route remains the same.

Take it what you will.

Maxis? Not to insinuate anything, but I've heard many cases such as those from the Maxis side of things. Celcom is not better either, but I'm happy that all I need to do is turn off 3G to rectify the problem. Funny thing is, it is only in my master bedroom. Once I move to the verandah, everything okay again. Maybe too much radio waves flying around till the Aifontriji is suffocated trying to latch to the right radio wave?

No. I don't jailbreak.

I'll wait and see if I can get it legitimately proper on my Japan trips, Softbank is one of the roaming partner I get there. Otherwise, not a big thing that I'd risk jailbreaking for.
