Jailbreaking isn't the same as unlocking to use on any network.

You can put iOS4 on the 3G/3GS, yes. There shouldn't really be any major problems with your plan unless you need to unlock it - I'm not sure what the current situation is with unlocking. I think you can do it with iOS4.

So would I be better off buying one that is legally unlocked by o2 or whatever then updating it to iOS4? Then jailbreak it later on if i feel the need/want to?

I'm pretty sure O2 won't unlock it for you. From what I've quickly read, you can jailbreak iOS4, but this will only let you get the free apps. Unlocking is a whole different thing. Which I'm unsure of.

Alot on ebay say that they're on 02 and are already unlocked when bought?

Those are not officially unlocked by O2, unlocking iphones is something you have to do yourself. If they say they are unlocked, they are probably jailbroken as well.

Right. Cheers. Just need an unlocked one as I'm on T-mobile.

They should be out on T-Mobile by the end of next week according to the other end of my massive rant at them yesterday.

Right,

i am bored - i like. sorry. love my iphone. i like to know all the funky apps you might recommend if you have an iphone.

mine:

sickopedia - (naughty joke site)

Angry Birds - game of destruction using angry birds

UnblockMe Free - challenge game. good fun for a little boredom

Flixster - finds all the local cinema times for wherever you are (if you have location settings on)

pDownloader - downloads youtube videos / media etc in 100x better quality than you can watch on your phone

Shazam - find out the name of any song

I have no clue what its called, but my uncle has it for his iPhone 4. Basicaly you take a picture of someone and it tracks their face, and changes it so it looks like a monster (your/ the person in the photos). Its really cool cos when you touch the monster face it looks like blood is shooting out of your finger XD. Not trying to take over the thread, but what good ones that have been said can you get for the iPod touch?

O2 can officially unlock your iPhone if you purchased it from them, and your contract is near the end or is at the end of its term. Since OS 3.1.3 Apple have really modified the baseband an I'm pretty sure isn't a working 'unlock' out for a jailbroken iPhone with iOS4, even if you roll back to an early OS like 3.1.2 then it won't downgrade your baseband so you still wont be able to unlock it.

If your looking at buying one from Ebay, get one that's already unlocked instead of getting one that says it's got iOS4 and it's jailbroken as it's really really unlikely it's going to be unlocked to any network.

3.1.3 can be unlocked now. Mine is :)

Has anyone used the 'JailBreakMe.com' jailbreak for their iphone?

Yep - I've done it on my 16Gb iPhone 4 running 4.0.1 and my friend's 32Gb one too. No problems at all - just make sure you're on wifi as it can take a while otherwise. But I was amazed by how easy it all was.

Anyone got anything half decent recently?

I'm currently quite enjoying the Formula 1 Timing app, it's pretty nice if you can't watch the race. Although at £14.99 it's a bit expensive so you may want to look at other alternatives to acquiring it.

and I quite like using Soundmeter, just because I think it's interesting how loud stuff is, driving in my car, computer noise, aircraft noise at work etc. I'm bit of audiophile and I like stuff that's quiet.
