Do you have hashes for it on Cydias server already? If it hasn't been jailbroken before (with hashes saved), you wouldn't be able to unlock it ATM.

So I got a remote desktop app and connected to me PC.

Pretty useful but damn watching videos and flash videos is pretty much impossible. It's so choppy.

Mobile me activates the GPS in the Iphone to locate it if stolen. Not sure if it works on a jailbroken phone.

Ok I'm a iPhone newb but I'm loving some of these apps. The yellow pages app was very helpful while driving as I was locating some places via voice command. I also enjoy the engadget, sportscenter, and the yahoo fantasy baseball.

Does that somehow only use at&t service to locate. Because I understand a jailbroken phone that doesnt have data plan, it can't locate. But my iphone has t-mobile's edge network. I dunno I'll try it out, you get two months free anyway

Anyone have luck with watching World Cup for free? ESPN3 is blocked at work and I can't install flash 9 for JustinTV. I tried the JustinTV app but even the Arabic live feed is frozen. I need this for Friday's US game.

hey guys, so my gf has the 3G iphone from ATT and I have a Tmobile HTC TP2. Recently everytime we talk we keep getting dropped calls but everytime it happens I always get signal, I don't seem to have problems when talking to other people thats with ATT or Tmobile. The only contact that I keep getting dropped calls other than my GF is my friend, who also has the 3G iphone. Is it possible its their phones or is ATT itself? Has any of you with the iphone been experiencing this?

Maybe it's ATT's 3G in NY. I heard of iPhone 3G issues there but am not too knowledgable.

Not sure I want to do it thru the AT&T store.

http://engadget.com/2010/06/14/how-t...-the-iphone-4/
You'll also be able to pre-order in AT&T stores tomorrow, but as far as we can tell, this is going to be a pretty unsavory option -- you'll be required to pay the full amount upfront, and according to the locations we contacted, you won't even be guaranteed availability on launch day; instead, you'll need to wait until the 25th for some bizarre reason.
