Google... jailbreak iphone, pretty easy to do but I found it to run slow and crash a lot more than normal! I put mine back the way I found it.

Matt.

No idea what I was doing wrong with the first link to create ringtones, however I did find another link How to make your own iPhone ringtones - Mobile Phones
Which seemed so much easier to me and worked a treat. Probably doing the exact same thing as the first suggestion but I found this one easier to create ringtones with. Net result is I now have my own ring tones on my phone

Thanks again guys, Mick

How to make your own iPhone ringtones - Mobile Phones

This method works a treat but have discovered the steps to create a ringtone this way do not work for songs bought via iTunes, they only work on songs loaded to iTunes from your own CD's etc.
Annoying but I can live with it for now however if anyone finds a way to create from purchased tunes, I would be keen to know,

Aye, Mick

Wondering what people's favourite Apps are in their iPhone? I'm not so much into the games but more some of the work and business related ones. Anyone come across any good ones?

I find Bloomberg awesome if you watch the markets, have stocks or are looking at potential stocks. Lots of down trending graphs just now however but some pretty comprehensive info for a free app.

Also like OzWeather over the weather app that comes with the phone.

Aye, Mick

OzWeather is pretty awesome app, have been using that for a while.

Also use these ones a lot :
* Facebook
* TwitterFon
* Wordpress
* NetNewsWire
* CameraBag
* Night Camera
* Pano
* AroundMe

I got geocaching .com, SHAZAM (awesome!!), Drinks4free, urbanspoon, about 4 pages in all!!

Version 3.0 of the OS preview is out....

Which will mean MORE apps to download

iPhone OS 3.0: What you need to know | iPhone Atlas - CNET Reviews

iPhone 3.0 looks great - looking forward to it...

The best apps (and I would strongly recommend buying these), imho are;

Bloomberg - amazing, moved it where the stocks app was...

Pkt Weather - also great, moved it where the weather app was...

eBay - definitely good enough (great for checking quickly the status of your watchlist, if you're being outbid, etc...)

iXpenselt - a little expensive, but great spending record...

Remote - perfect!

Darkroom - allows you to use the camera, but after pressing the button it waits until the iPhone is held steady for a few seconds before taking the shot (because often pressing the button jolts the phone, blurring photos), replaced the camera app with this...

Shazam - you have to download this to believe it...

iDracula - great game, hours wasted already

Toilet Mate - I don't know where they get the info, but it seems to work across Australia, even in regional locations... Basically, it provides a list of all public toilets near you (using GPS), and works bloody well, then providing directions via Maps...
