I just activated it right now thru itunes.

I ordered it tuesday night it came friday. I wasn't home friday so I got it today. Also I got rogers to waive the $35 shipping fee. I told him I will just pick it up in the store so he was like ok don't worry about it and waived the fee.

The packaging was shit. They put it in a big box with no foam or anything inside like NOTHING to absorb impact. it was just a loose iphone box bouncing around in a bigger box. It looked really unprofessional. Not sure if this is UPS or rogers fault.

In the end I will never order a phone over the phone. Much easier to just pick it up.

Yea I am updating right now.. I dunno why it doesnt read any of my contacts. I remember my 1st gen Iphone I had to import my contact list with outlook or something but I dont have outlook on my laptop i dont think? (vista)

Why? You can jailbreak even if you update to 2.0.2 through Quickpwn. Although myself, I did not update through iTunes as I used winpwn instead.

^ ok cool I will look into that tonight when I have time.

How come I can't set a background image? When I go to set a wallpaper it only appears when the phone is locked. Is this normal? My old iPhone I could use any photo as a background. I will try to jailbreak it tonight tho.

It's normal, the wallpaper is only for the lock screen.

you need to quickpwn your phone since its on 2.0.2 and install either (cydia or installer), and then download an app called winterboard. This will allow you to modify your phone and themes... etc.. also will let you have a picture background

ps: got my invisibleshield yesterday, took exactly 3 weeks shipping... pain in the ass to install, mega dust/lint magnet. Prob gonna take it off and put on a different protective skin.

I've found that Cydia is the better app installing program. And even then jailbreaking right now is hardly worth it. D:

I got my iPhone without a data plan. I just used Fake APN to disable data transfer. Only downside is no Visual Voice Mail, but it saves me $30/month, and I have WiFi most places I go, so...

Hi guys sorry for jumping in the thread here
but I am interested to get the 3G iphone so what is the best way to get them
a year ago , the best way to get an iphone is drive down to nearest apple store in washington buy one at Apple price tag and drive back and unlock it

is that still the same case today?

Thanks a bunch

Edit: I am not looking for contract with Fido or Rogers
