Unlocking an iPhone

**Travelmate** · 07-03-2011, 09:45 AM

Even simpler would be to buy an unlocked phone in the first place.

or buy a blackberry.

I think I'm gonna switch to iPhone. Bit bored of my Blackberry, it's getting old and freezes up all the time and the only things I use on it are bbm and emails. You can do emails on the iphone and I read yesterday that bbm might be coming to iphone soon.

Yip my 2 fingers are just as quick on an Iphone as on full sized k-board

You'll be holding it wrong. Go for Android, Galaxy S is probably the leader at the moment.

The old ones, couldn't even type one word without hitting delete a few times. It's why I was never interested in them. But the iphone 4 I played with the other night was spot on. I had to enter a few details because it was a new phone and the touch keyboard worked great.

*Update

Well, Dev Team, the guys who were gonna crack the unlocking thing on the 12th, weren't able to pull it off. So unlucky to my neighbor.

I was gonna buy it from her but that didn't happen, and I must have been a good boy recently coz my lovely wife went out and bought me a a brand new one!

I'm pretty impressed with it so far. I like the way I can float around in the pool and post on Teakdoor. My question now is, should I jailbreak it?

Is it worth it and what are the advantages?

I wouldn't,
Won't it void your warranty?
I think the benefits are free apps, but half the apps ain't worth a toss anyway and just slow your phone down

This is the biggest downfall you could encounter IMO

Unless you're a big Rick Astley fan, you're probably not going to want him plastered on your jailbroken iPhone. Jailbroken iPhones in Australia were reportedly infected by a worm that only replaces the device's background wallpaper with an image of 80s one-hit wonder Rick Astley. The worm, dubbed ikee, only affects jailbroken iPhones running the SSH app with the default password. While the worm is fairly harmless and seems to only be limited to jailbroken phones in Australia, malicious variants of ikee could soon follow.

The headline should have been "iPhone gets rickrolled!"

Can Teakdoor have a mobile version? Or even better can be viewed on Tapatalk?

sabaii sabaii · 22-03-2011, 02:34 PM

^ True,

It looks shite on my mobile

sabaii sabaii · 22-03-2011, 02:49 PM

Looks promising, free too

**The Fresh Prince** · 22-03-2011, 03:35 PM

Viewing on this isn't bad, everything has been squeezed in so that theres no need for left and right scrolling.

**Travelmate** · 22-03-2011, 03:40 PM

But have you tried Tapatalk?

**FailSafe** · 22-03-2011, 03:43 PM

Is 'Tapatalk' a free app? It doesn't appear for me when I search for it on the app market (which only shows the freebies- I can't get it to show the apps you have to pay for).

Nope. It's a paid App.

**FailSafe** · 22-03-2011, 05:15 PM

Ah- I can probably pay for it and download it to my computer and send it to my phone.

I PM'd DD.
I got a diplomatic response.
Perhaps you can influence a result.
