Blacksn0w was released early. My 3gs on 3.1 with baseband 5.11.xx previously jb'd with blackra1n is now unlocked with blacksn0w. Geohot is da fuxking man!

Geohot's jailbreaks and unlocks were never intended for Sale. Don't ever pay somebody to jb / unlock your phone.

I'm pretty sure the apple store only sells locked iPhones based on your provider, whether it be fido or Rogers. I got my phone from apple and it was originally locked to Rogers.

Yeah but im just curious because apparently it's cheaper in the united states so I'll buy it from the states. I just wanted to verify that the stores still sell them. (3gs) model.

I've been out of the loop for awhile now and still using 3.0 on my 3G...
so will blackrain allow the iphone to have a fm tuner now?
is it safe to update to the newest baseband?

reading Manga on the iPhone?

so i have a lot of hi quality scans of various Manga and i want to read them on my IPhone, BUT

when you transfer photos/pics to the iPhone they are automaticly compressed and resized.

is there a way to adjust how much resizing is done as i can barely read whats going on.

iManga reader is a web based reader that shows the series online so zooming and shrinking is done however you please.

any ideas?

I'm sure it's been mentioned in here but I don't want to sort through 60 pages lol.

What's a good free way to make my own ring tones?

after a day of getting my new 3GS, i've been happy with most of the phone's functions... save for Telus' spotty/weak coverage within my own apartment. i'm down to the very last miniscule bar as i move away from the window. low/no service in the elevator. and no service in the underground parkade.

my old razr with telus had excellent reception everywhere, even deep underground in the parkade.

any particular reason why this new network isn't as strong? besides it being new?

Your old Razr with Telus was using their CDMA network. Your iPhone is using their HSPA network. These networks are separate, and therefore having good reception on one does not indicate you will receive good reception on the other.
