There are no cons, none that I know of at least. Only that you void your warranty but that's all really.

Homebrew varies from custom themes, phone mods
There are only 2 emulators since you come from the psp world, snes and gamboy.
There is a psx emulator.

Of course there's a recovery mode.

The data plan costs an extra few bucks and text too if you plan on that.
Yes you can use wifi but, goodluck finding a wifi network wherever you go that is not secured.
The camera takes very good pictures for being 2.0 megapixel camera. Portrait and landscape.

We can now record video on an iPhone!

Nope, doesnt make a difference.

I'd be careful using Rogers. I'm with them too, and they have done some freaky things for me. Charging me for visual voicemail when I SPECIFICALLY asked them not to, and trying to tell me I used 4MB of data in one day... which is impossible because I blocked my EDGE connection with BossPrefs

I see no cons to hacking the iPhone. And there are a LOT of unprotected WiFi hotspots in Toronto... if I had to take a guess I'd say you're in the GTA. And really, you don't really need 3G on the go unless you're a businessperson who relies on email and web browsing at any given minute.

Those are my opinions

Mind if I answer all or most of those?

She meant all of those emulators are available on the iPhone. But dont get your hopes up too much and start comparing it to the PSP. And just to be fair, I only tried the GBA emulator since it was the only thing I found easy and actually usable on the iPhone. It wasnt that great. Trust me. If you tried using a GBA emulator on a PSP or a PC you'll know what am saying when it comes to the quality and ease-of-use.

Yes, you can via process called Virginizing. There is another process as well after it but I forgot its name. Killa always had to remind me. xD
Anyhow, when you use it, you'll phone will be as OTB (Out of the box).

Yea there are lots of cool apps but most of them (That I know and tried) are not yet available on the 2.0 iPhones. And since your getting a 3G most likely there'd be no way to downgrade it to 1.1.4 due to hardware and software differences and incompatibilities.
Just wait a bit and hopefully most apps will be ported to 2.0.

Hope that helped and your welcome.
OH! And welcome to the forum!! Hope to see you round fellow future-iPhone-user. xD!

Well, as I see it now, most things (major anyways) have already been ported to 2.X. Even Installer has, but the sources which bring you different 3rd Party Applications need to be refreshed and updated. And yes, we have apps like Cycorder and Snapture, which do record videos.... you need to Jailbreak your iPhone to get those apps, but I think you're going to do that anyways

I don't like using this term, but the 1G iPhone is pretty much obsolete. There is NO advantage to getting a 1G iPhone right now.

2 other things:

1: Unique things? If you end up on 2.X firmware, you can install cracked applications onto your iPhone. Basically, you don't have to pay for anything in the App Store. Not the most legal thing to do, but alls I'm saying is it can be done. I mean, some of the games are totally unique. Try Spore, where you have to move around with the accelerometer: IE: By titling your iPhone. Or Racing games where you use the phone like a sterring wheel.

2: What I do is block my EDGE and 3G. This way I will never use any data on the go, and I can only use internet in WiFi hotspots. For your usages, it sounds like that might be the best idea.
And with Rogers, as much as they will force you, you can always decline a data package, but you have to watch out, because they charge something insane (like 5 cents/ 1kb) for data if you're not on a data plan.

Your welcome and dont forget, if something confuses you and isnt in a tutorial you can ask in the Help section!

I wish you a happy iPhone purchasing experience.

xD

From what I've been reading from google...you can but you won't be able to use the phone, some static, and some other bugs.

Not sure, try it out anyways.

Let us know so we can celebrate!
