So...

[Peench]

What's new on the iPhone front? Anything new and exciting I should try out or be doing with my phone?

[Serren]

How about you try to see how far you can throw your iphone? If that does not sound fun, look for a game called Azgard Defence. I have it for my Windows phone and it is really fun. I'm not sure they have an iphone version though. I bet they have something similar.

The game is a bit like um, Star Craft or one of those RTS games. You have a home base, and you have to place weapons to protect your base from waves of monsters. You get a limited amount of money after each wave to invest in more weapons, or to upgrade existing weapons. It is a challenging game for sure.

Hey, how come we don't have a general forum for cell phones? Or just call this forum the Cell Phone Lobby? Haters...

[lovekeiiy]

Blame that one on Rhino. He got an iPhone years ago when he used to come to the site once a month or so and he created this sub-forum. He's the hater.

That looks cool. I recently installed ZumoDrive, which looks similar and I'm digging it!

I'm loving the augmented reality in Yelp.

That app seems like it would be awesome when you are looking for something to do in a city you have never been to.

[JParker0105]

Hey Everyone (peench, esp). i have an idea.

Jailbreak it....

You know the saying? once you go black... Well, once you jailbreak, you never go back.

[Peench]

Jailbait what? I like women, don't get me wrong, but I ain't going to jail for one.

Alright, I'll bite, what's the big deal w/ jailbreaking? Why would I want to spend my time figuring that out and then having to do it all again when Apple updates their stuff? What real benefit do I get? Unless it offers multiple signature files, I see no reason.

[Serren]

Jailbreaking allows you to steal apps. The torrent sites have all the iphone apps for free. Even the big fat ones, like TomTom.

[JParker0105]

Well... Jailbreaking offers theme, better iphone management...you know what, screw it, ill let others explain:

iPhoneSpies: Top ten reasons to jailbreak your iPhone | iPhoneSpies: Jailbreak, Unlock, and Hack Tutorials, Accessories & App reviews, news, rumors and more

Why Jailbreak? Top 5 Reasons to jailbreak iPhone | The iPhone Blog by Simon

10 reasons to jailbreak your iPhone or iPod touch now | News | TechRadar UK

And so on and so forth. The whole process takes maybe 15 mins to do and your iPhone turns to myPhone.

p.s. if you have 3.1 dont jailbreak yet. we are waiting on a new redsn0w release.

Believe me man, i was in the same boat you were in. i went about 9 months without jailbreaking my phone. Never Again...

and it completely voids your warranty. As everyone knows, if you have a problem with your phone, Apple is usually quick to replace it without asking questions.

Also, jailbroken phones are ugly as shit. I'm sorry jailbroken people, I know you think the themes look good, but your iPhone now looks like a Hackintosh PC. It's ugly. The silly looking themes are ugly and you lost the smoothness that Apple created. You usually find PC people jailbreaking their phones because they are used to ass ugly interfaces and feel the need to destroy nice things they have to reflect their broken plastic Desktop world.

The iPhone is like a brand new Cooper Mini S, and when it's jailbroken, it looks like someone added Lamborghini doors. I mean, it's cool, but it defeats the purpose of driving a Mini.

Actually, I'd buy that probably.

[KEEZY]

****ing Mac people.

[KEEZY]

Double post. **** editing. Except for when the word **** is edited like it just was. ****.

I think jailbreaking is pretty cool. You can do a lot of things with your phone that are otherwise not possible. You can play NES games, some of the themes do look cool (I saw one that looks like Delicious Library), and you can customize the ish out of your phone. Most of these still have the OSX feel (They do, after all, use the same GUI engine).

[Peench]

Hm. I like warranties. Maybe when mine is out of warranty. Otherwise, no thanks.

[JParker0105]

meh, voiding the warranty is a myth(no offense monkeyman)...if you ever need repairs from apple, just wipe to default, get the repairs, then restore the jailbreak. just use google sync for your contacts and cal. problem solved about loosing contacts ect...

[Peench]

So wait, I wouldn't even be able to sync up to my exchange server? That doesn't sound fun. I dunno, I kinda like the fact that I don't have to dick around with the phone and that for the most part it just works fine the way it is. I'm more interested in new cool apps and stuff.

Thanks for the info though Justin. I have no idea how long my warranty is, but once it expires, I might consider jailbreaking just to mess around with it.

[KEEZY]

Jailbreaking is certainly more for those into hacking and modding.
