Oh, as for software and games once you've jailbroken, do a google for 'bgmrk'

Its really simple, download the 2.1 firmware as a file, bootloader 3.6 and 4.2 files, and get yourself over to http://blog.iphone-dev.org, and read the section "Redmond, we have a pwnapple".

Looks like firmware 2.2 is imminent!

As for "bricking" your iphone, its 100% impossible. There are tools to get it back should the worst happen, so dont worry

Managed to sort mine the other night using the fella that i bought mine off's website really easy to do less so than thrush's link.

Really? I would have thought it would have been 2.1.1 first before making a huge jump to 2.2.0

It'll say "iPhone 3G" on it No, actually it won't

This is an iPhone 3G;



Difference (to look at) is the 3G has a black plastic curved back, instead of a flat, satin aluminium back the 2G has

Does swirlyspace work on 2.1 yet then thrush and does it actually send picture as say a "normal" phone might?

Let Cydia do it's updates (should be one of them little red blobs on it to tell you it needs an update) as that will update any revisions to any of the software you have installed via Cydia - basically the same way if an iTunes App Store app you have installed needs an update, it will tell you...

SwirlyMMS works fine on 2.1, and as far as I know, it sends the MMS just like any other phone - you can input a message title/subject, type text into it (or not if you don't want to) and attach a picture, media file, whatever. I've only used it to send pics, and only sent three, but they were recieved okay, and I've recieved 2 that I've been sent no problem.... The only thing with it not being a native part of the OS means that when you take a picture with the camera, for example, and you can click the button to give you options to send as email etc, there isn't one to send as MMS. You have to tap Swirly and then look the pic up using thier interface.....

No cos mines on T-Mobile So my MMS just works

As for the fee, yeah, thats the downside. Despite it being an "illegal" app and one designed "by enthusiasts for enthusiasts", the charge for it.... But it's $8, which is less than a fiver. You get a 14day fully functional trial, and after that you have to purchase a licence for it to carry on using it...
