Depends what phone it is.

Right - all back up and running.
I get tired of gadgets very easily, but this has renewed my love for the iPhone. When jailbroken it is a very, very nice piece of kit.
Loving my new theme, too. Suave it's called. Snazzy.
Oh, and Football Manager is excellent!

I've also put a new theme onto mine with this new jailbreak, a snow leopard one. It's gorgeous. 
QuickDo has solved all of my home button woes, and I've even managed to do a restore point this time, using aptBackup!

Depends what version of the software n' all. The latest, 3.1.3, isn't so easy to unlock - especially with newer software.

Ahh, sounds complicated.

Not necessarily.
See the editors link a few posts ago on this thread. Could be quite simple!

Jailbreaking and network unlocking aren't the same thing, mind.
You can use Pwnage for that, but from what I've heard, it doesn't always work and isn't the most stable thing in the world.

I'm enjoying playing with as Palm Pre again as it shows the strengths and weaknesses of the iPhone. For an all round smooth user experience the iPhone really is superb, but the Pre addresses so many of its annoying flaws. The notification system is nothing short of brilliant, as is the multi tasking card system, but the real strength of the iPhone lies in its apps, and I'm missing many of them already on the Pre.
I certainly don't think I could back to the Pre now, but then I'm not really judging like with like here.

If you jailbreak and get iRealSMS, backgrounder, and kirikadae (sp?) then you've got a nearly as good as the Pre solution to most of those issues. Being able to read the Guardian app whilst listening to last.fm is very gratifying. As is replying to texts when in an app.

Like a sort of marketing campaign to keep up public interest, you mean??

I prefer the looks of the new one I have to say. I've never really got on with the rounded back of the 3GS; apart from looks it also has a tendency to slip out of pockets.

I'm liking the new look, I agree that it does look very Sony. Given that I expect a lot of Sony and Apple engineers are on sabbaticals from the other company its not surprising. Long history of cooperation there.
How it looks is pretty minor to what it offers that is new. The Apple CPU is a great advance for me as its so much faster.

The faster chip, together with the promised multi tasking and increase in storage make me think this is probably the phone for me come the Autumn.

It'll need more than that to lure me back from my envious glances at the HTC Android line-up.

One problem is that the iphone now has docks all over the place, at work, on my alarm clock/radio etc. Means switching to HTC is a bigger step than just a new phone.

Yeah, their proprietary connectors have made them serious dollars.

I really like new look iPhone, couldn't agree more with the Ed above about nicking the Pre notification system. The iPhone is pretty crap at that right now...

This must be hitting iPhone sales already a bit, I would have thought - though how much more than the usual "wait until June", I don't know.

I'm also suffering from iPhone iNertia and am unlikely now to migrate away from the iPhone anytime soon, certainly looks like I'll be upgrading to the new 4 iphone in June or whenever it comes out from my current jailbroken original iphone
A request - I'd like to have a "profile" on the iphone that means "I'm abroad and I pay my own data bill, stop leaking my money - ask me every time before up/downloading anything"
It was so easy on the old school unconnected Palm Treo..where I had the option to "only download the subject of emails"
On the iphone it seems really difficult to just dive online and collect just the data I want ie the headers of my emails
Each time I'm getting stuck in a hell loop of activating/deactivating email accounts and notifications and synching
Maybe I'm doing it worng

You can turn off roaming in Settings somewhere I think.
Piers Gibbon

yeah but it's not just that setting I think...maybe I'm wrong..or maybe what I'm saying is that I want to be able to use the online abilities of my iphone but in a strictly limited fashion. Whereas if I turn roaming back on for a quick email check...it seems to gives it permission to throw money away in a whole load of other ways..
..I just wish there was a single setting that put the whole thing on a data diet..but that allows me to check my email accounts..and allows me to go on safari TEXT ONLY for a quick look-up or whatever...

Not that I know of.
Mind you, the basic problem there is the absurd prices that you get charged for data roaming. Utterly ridiculous.

Yeah Safari could do with a bit of work and some new options.
