If you read my post about the latest release of the 1.1.3 upgrade, then most likely you will hear about people who accidentally upgraded to 1.1.3. I've received many emails from people asking about how to downgrade from 1.1.3. Please everyone, be extra careful when updating your iPhone when following an unlock guide. Since the...

Alrighty, so earlier this week I posted my first contest on this blog! Thanks to the kind folks at iPhoneRingToneMaker, I was able to give away three copies of their software. If you haven't read the review, check it out, as it's one of the easiest ways to add ringtones to your iPhone. If you...

*edit* Feb.9/08: The 1.1.2/1.1.3 OTB Unlock is now out! So the big announcements from Macworld have come and gone. Darn, no iPhone in Canada announcement! Looks like the wait will continue. The moment I got home from work I was bombarded with tonnes of emails in my inbox! On top of that, I was eager...

This is the post that will matter to those still locked on a 1.1.2 iPhone. As I told you before, iPhoneTheSolution sent me a StealthSIM to review. And as I mentioned, after I post about the review I was going to give away the StealthSIM in a contest. That's right baby, a free StealthSIM, worth...

Putting ringtones on your iPhone can be an easy task if you know how to do it. With 1.0.2, it was very easy using iBrickr to transfer ringtones to and from your iPhone. With 1.1.1, a bit more work was involved to get ringtones to your iPhone via SSH. With 1.1.2 it's also fairly simple...

One of the best features of the iPhone is the internet capabilities of Safari browser. Web pages are rendered the exact same way they would look on a desktop or notebook computer. With the proliferation of the iPhone in the USA and parts of Europe (minus Canada--doh! Lucky I have mine, hehe), many companies are...

One year ago yesterday was the anniversary of the iPhone's announcement by Mr. Steve Jobs. His presentation of the so called "iPhone" was one that definitely has changed the wireless scene. Since the iPhone started selling on June 29, 2007, this phone/iPod/multimedia device has made consumers iPhone-crazy. Time magazine called it the Invention of the...

Seriously, now that I have your attention I want you to listen up. Listen--it's one of the coolest iPhone apps to date. If you're confused, the 3rd party application is called Listen!

After I...

The iPhone's keyboard in combination with the touch screen makes for one awesome typing device. However, some people out there might be slightly annoyed when you're trying to type a word that is not in the iPhone dictionary.
