i just jailbroke my ipod and installed cydia, and i was wondering what are some good//nice looking themes to download? Is there anything else I should add/download from cydia?

Mothers like to hear happy Mother's Day no matter whom it comes from. You'll understand when you get older and all your friends start popping out babies like whack-a-mole.

is the $80/month plan capable of this tethering thing? I assume so.

also, does anyone have any experience with iphones and european travel? with regard to jailbroken phones or not if that is relevant? I will be in europe for a few months this summer and it would be cool to be able to have internet access when I wanted it for like google maps and stuff like that, but would that be absurdly expensive? I browsed apple's site for a while and didn't really find much.

edit: to be clear, I do not have an iphone, I've had a ****ty LG phone for 4 years now and am looking into getting a new one. I definitely want to have a phone that works in europe, and I'm interested in the price difference between an average crappy phone that works in europe vs. a phone with internet access

Is it possible to watch videos from sites like hulu.com and sling.com on the iPhone. I have iMobileCinema installed from Cydia which allows you to play some streaming flash format, but I read that hulu.com is on rtmp protocol.

I posted in one of the other iphone threads about the pocket tunes app. I was mainly using it to stream radio stations. Good for listening to stations where you used to live, but I was listening to sports talk radio in the market of my favorite teams or the teams that just lost a big game or had a dramabomb for the entertainment of hearing the local fans implode.

I was messing around with it today and saw they had a Sirius selection. I put in my info and it lets me stream my sirius account. When I select a station, it prompts me to upgrade to Sirius' premium streaming acct ($2.99 extra/month), but if you hit "go back" in the browser, it will load up and stream the station without having to upgrade. Pretty sweet for listening to sirius when not in my car (at work, running, cutting grass, in someone else's car via FM transmitter, etc).

The best way to get themes is to check out the stuff on these two forums:

and then transfer them to your phone via SSH/iPhoneBrowser.

As for other cool cydia stuff, there is tons. I will recommend a product called "Icy" as a cydia replacement. It uses the same package type as cydia so it is compatible with the same repositories, but it just feels much faster. Here is a link for it:

Other appswise, there are tons. A lot of people are big fans of CyCorder, Snapture, PDANet, FontSwap and Intelliscreen. There are others of course. Check out this site for some more repositories also:

Do not take your iPhone to Europe and use the Data plan. You will pay out your Ass. If you purchase a European plan it would work I think, but by default you will get SIIHP by ATT.

Hey guys, are there any differences between the iPhone 3G and the newest iPod Touch in terms of music and video quality?

okay, yeah, those scores are embarrassing...i figured out you really need to be updating all of the last 3 weapons..

level: 27
zombies: 874

I don't bother posting my flight control scores... I already feel inadequate because of them...

Please forgive my unwillingness to sift through 2000+posts but...

About how much does an average iphone plan cost a month?
I see iphones sell for about $200 but are going on craigslist for 400+, why? Are there some massive hidden costs associated with the iphone that I don't know about?

Thanks =).

In order to get a IPhone for 200$, you need to sign a 2 year contract. If you don't sign the contract, the phone is 200$ more expensive.

iPhone Bills are pretty crazy. Without a Corp. discount I would be paying over 100 bucks for the lowest plan.

I pay about 85 for the lowest plan; 450 minutes unlimited data.

this

I thought the lowest was like 100 with fees and such? I never paid it, so what do I know.

Nope, mid 80's with fees and 200 texts.

I pay about 50, but i'm still with my parents family plan. lol

Cool, thanks guys

With my corporate discount I pay 85 dollars including all NY taxes and fees. I have 450 minutes with rollover, 5000 nights and weekends. Unlimited data and texts. Before the discount it was about 111.

This is for the 3g phone no discounts for gen 1 phone

i pay 99$ after taxes and fees, for 450 min with rollover, data, and unlimited texting, for iphone 3g

also wanted to say thanks a million for this thread, i never would have went through the other and found out about all the cool stuff without this thread

thanks

I pay $67 for 450 Anytime, 5000 Night and Weekend, Unlimited Mobile to Mobile, Rollover, 200 Texts and Unlimited Data.

OK, so I just caught up to this thread and want to jailbreak my iPhone.

However, it's synced to my desktop right now, which is broken. Can I sync it to my laptop without losing the music I already have on it, or with anything stupid happening that would cause me to lose my contacts? (Stupid things have happened in the past; I reset the damn thing because it wouldn't update to 3.0 and it lost all of my contacts.)

I want to back it up before I try the jailbreak. Seems simple and all, I just want to make sure. I'm a little miffed I have to install iTunes on my laptop now, so I want to make sure I get it right.

If you change PCs, your music goes. But you can Jailbreak, then use iPhoneBrowser to pull the music before you sync. I think the contacts are fine, but I am not sure. I have my iPhone using GoogleSync for contacts and calendar entries, so I never lose those regardless of hose often I format it.

Does tethering eat up battery life rapidly?

What are percentage batteries?

Top right.
