Cydia, Installulous and Rock installed.

Can't get My3G or MyWi 4.0 right now, servers are slammed, so 3G facetime and tethering will have to wait.

Android is cool and all, but they still have ZERO hardware I'm interested in. I have quite a few friends with Android phones and not a single one is appealing to me.

And as worthless as you may think it is (have you ever had an iPhone or really used one?), it does everything I need it to and more. I would typically refer to that as the complete opposite of worthless.

carbon, I read with people tethering on the BB9700 that something with proxy and ips makes mobile tethering web test inaccurate. Don't know if it's same for iphone4, either way isn't tethering nice? I had it back when I was in virgin islands and the whole island has wifi, but it was like 15 bucks for 1 night, while everyone was mad about paying I just whipped out the iphone.

I get 4.1-4.3Mb/s when doing a speedtest over 3G on my phone, and I was consistently getting 3.2-3.7Mb/s when doing the speedtest on my laptop, while tethered to my 3G. So it seems like it's relatively close.

any apps you recommend? I had my 3gs jailbroken about a year ago but didn't really go past a custom theme? Pretty happy with the 9700, but I miss touchscreen so I might pick up a iphone 4 without contract

MyWi 4.0, My3G, Installulous, Rock, Winterboard, SBsettings, LockInfo...and that's about it off the top of my head. I mostly use the jailbreak to get free apps.

anyone who has a bumper and it feels a bit loose, boil it. I did for a minute, dried it off and let it sit for a minute and you now have a snug and tight bumper on your iPhone 4. No joke, boil it. only a little amount of water is needed, enough for it to sit under water.

Mine felt a bit loose... but I still didn't care for the overall feel of it.
