Thoughts in South Africa

Apple created their iphone with a very slick interface.

The iPhone have created a big hype around the world, perhaps the iphone is the phone with the biggest hype.

The iPhone have a few extremely nice features I would like to see in all phones. However I would never buy a iPhone. The reason for this is apple does not want us to do anything with the device we paid for, if they are not in control. Meaning you can not  add a free app om the phone without going to itunes, create a account and give them all your details including your credit card info.

The phone is also network locked which prevents you from changing your network. This will turn your iPhone into a useless itouch.

You can not even use the iPhone’s 16gb as a memory stick. There are no way to copy anything to the phone appart from emailing it to your self and retrieving it from there. But even this way you can not do anything with the file.

The only way to use your iPhone without the ridicules restrictions of apple is to jail break(hack) the phone to enable anything on the phone. Thanks to a lot of people that made jail breaking the iPhone possible. This enable you to install applications on the phone without the application having to be avalible via iTunes.

After lots of searching on the net to try and remove the network lock I found yellosn0w the only way to remove the network lock to date on a iPhone 3g v2.2, yellow snow is still in beta but it worked for a lot of people.

My opinion op the iPhone is if it is not jailbroken and not unlocked it is useless. It have become easy to jailbreak the iPhone just google quickpwn to jail break and yellowsn0w to unlock the phone.
