With just over 13 days from the 3G iPhone being released I have finally jailbroke my iPhone.  Don’t ask me why I have not done this earlier.  It could not have been easier and thus far I am really enjoying it.  If you have not already ran jailbreak on your iPhone (I doubt it), I recommend doing so immediately.  Apple’s iPhone official apps scheduled for release July 11th look promising however it may prevent some neat (controversial) apps from ever seeing the light of day.  Chances are I’ll probably jailbreak the iPhone 2.0 - Should be available within a week or two of its release.

If you are looking to run jailbreak and/or unlock your iPhone or iPod touch check out Life Hacker’s article “Jailbreak any iPhone or iPod Touch in 45 seconds“.  Simply have your iPhone running the current 1.1.4 firmware and download and install ZiPhone for your Mac or PC.

Enjoy!

Apparently there was some confusion at work where my company phone had a plan of just 500 minutes and no text messaging. Ooops! This phone was used as both a personal line as well as business, kind of a perk for being on call 24/7. Did I mention that I received in excess of 1,000 text messages on average from work alone? Well since I no longer am able to use the company phone as a personal line I decided to go out and get my own plan . What phone did I get (As if the title doesn’t speak for itself)… obviously the iPhone (kind of late post I’ve had the phone for about a month now). Strange to think that a cell phone can actually be helpful outside of brief calls. Let’s take a quick look at the past… First there were the 15 pound mobile phones, then arrived light weight black and white phones, and then color. Well we’ve been stuck with essentially the same basic cell phone for the past 6 plus years. I look forward to seeing what other manufacturers come up with now.

Ok… this isn’t what I was referring to Verizon. What the hell were you thinking?!?

Apple recently released a large upgrade v1.1.1 which made some visual enhancements, built in iTunes, and some other features that enhance the already extremely intuitive user interface.

So to sum it up WTF was I thinking using any other phone!
