Finally got on the 6GB data plan. Tethering is great. Have my 1000HE netbook connected all day and it charges the phone at the same time.

So a friend was wondering, is there anywhere you can get a 1st Gen iPhone screen replaced for a decent amount in Richmond?  | |

eventually i just tried itunes to update to 3.0.1 firmware and had to re JB my phone. didn't lose any critical data tho.
anyone else have this issue?
my phone is only 1 week old. | I read this as I'm upgrading to 3.0.1 right now!! Hope it all works out for me...
BTW, I found this really good app through appulo.us called Traffic Canada. Gives you access to all the traffic cameras around town! Not sure if it's widely known but I thought it would be useful to most people as we all know how bad traffic is getting around town!

Well, the FW upgrade process went through with no problems but I forgot to write down the list of apps I installed thru Cydia....so as I was reinstalling Backgrounder, I hit the 'Restart Cydia' button before the little circle timer thingy had completed....arghhhhh!!!
Had to do a full restore from scratch!!!
So, by 1am this morning, I had my phone back up and running, but I know that I'm missing some apps as I added the xsellize repo but I can't remember what I got from there...LOL
Anyways, 3.0.1 seems to be working fine for me...so far....cross fingers!!!

if you 3gs is under 1 month or watever it is for the full exchange period and u want a brand new phone i suggest you deal with fido/rogers instead of apple cause I'm pretty sure for any screen problems they are doing repair in store now. that is if there is nothing else wrong with your phone

Rogers told me they would send me a new phone (prolly refurb) but looked new anyways, and to send mine back when it arrived.
send it right away or you will be charged the price of a new phone.
got a whole new phone and didn't have to wait around.

trying out TomTom now seems to work ok. didn't even know it had a real gps chip in it. seems to work pretty good although very bare bones. $99 on the iphone store seems pretty steep for software only. all maps are stored on your phone so its a pretty big footprint. over 2 gb
standalone systems cost less.

I use Navigon cause the maps actually looks a little better. Aslo I was able to delete every maps except BC, Alberta, and Washingon State so that brought down the size of the ipa from 1.3gb to 170mb

For those who don't know. All these gps apps don't need a data connection. All maps are stored on the phone like a regular gps

I finally have some free time to upgrade my SW from 2.2 to 3.0. What's the best way to keep my hackulous apps? My iTunes does have those apps stored. Is that good enough for backup or do I need to do more before I redsn0w and ultrasn0w the thing?

One thing that was neat with Navigon was the gas station and fast food logos on the map haha. Igo. Slow load but fast gps aquisition. Igo also has 3d buildings for some cities.
