Dearest CHINGUS,
So.. this is a post about what you should know before owning an iPhone. Let me stress on this part, iPhone is a revolutionary smartphone that could do ALMOST everything and in order to gain its true potential, one should have this question in mind."What is THE iPhone?" Hence, I created this post as a guidance for all of the people who THINK that they could handle an iPhone.
iPhone is the GOD of all the smartphones. You don't own an iPhone just because of its popularity or its attraction. You own it because you believe that it can do almost everything other than its function as a smartphone. Thus, this question should popped out in your mind... "What is the iPhone?"
iPhone It is an Internet and multimedia enabled smartphone designed and marketed by Apple Inc. Because its minimal hardware interface lacks a physical keyboard, the multi-touch screen renders a virtual keyboard when necessary. The iPhone functions as a camera phone (also including text messaging and visual voicemail), a portable media player (equivalent to a video iPod), and an Internet client (with email, web browsing, and Wi-Fi connectivity).
Generations 1st Gen - iPhone 2G This is the first ever iPhone. The mother of all the iPhones which are currently in the market. Things that you SHOULD know :
Made of aluminium and plastics It has NO 3G Can be UNLOCKED Camera 2MP
2nd Gen - iPhone 3G
Fully in plastics 3G capability Can be Unlocked ONLY until firmware 3.0.1 (21/10/2009) Camera 2MP
3rd Gen - iPhone 3GS
Fully in plastics Almost identical to that of the 3G, differentiated only by the latter's reflective silver text which now matches the silver Apple logo, replacing the 3G's grey text. Can be Unlocked ONLY until firmware 3.0.1 Camera 3.2MP
iPhone 3GS This is the latest iPhone made by Apple. S stands for SPEED and thus the internal hardware is upgraded to double the speed in comparison with iPhone 2G and iPhone 3G. Camera is upgraded to 3,2MP and it has video recording capability.
Jailbreak This is the most shitty thing for the iPhone owners to encounter. Lots of questions and complications arise when discussing about jailbreaking the iPhone. Let me make this simple..
Jailbreaking is a method of uncovering the true potential of the iPhone. With jailbreaking, you can add additional stuff that was originally rejected by Apple itself. Reasons of rejecting : May cause dysfunction of the phone due to excessive usage of battery and memory. Jailbreaking the iPhone would be copyright infringement due to the necessary modification of system software.
Why should I jailbreak my iPhone? To get free cracked Apps. To UNLOCK the iPhone.
How to Jailbreak? Download this software called blackra1n (blackra1n.com) Simple program, will jailbreak your iPhone in 15mins. compatibility up to the latest firmware 3.1.2
Unlocking iPhone There are 2 variants of iPhone. 1. LOCKED - the owner is tied to a contract with a certain mobile operators such as AT&T in the USA. The price is very much cheaper (concession) but the monthly payments are costly.
2. Factory UNLOCKED - For example in Malaysia, Maxis is selling the UNLOCKED iPhones. Buyers are eligible to choose to be tied in a contract basis or just buy the iPhone in the original price and use the prepaid plan. (www.maxis.com.my) Other countries such as RUSSIA, you can get the factory UNLOCKED iPhones also with different types of tariffs.
So, what is the difference? You can unlock the LOCKED iPhone 2G,3G or 3GS using a software called ultrasn0w. In order to do that, you must JAILBREAK your iPhone. You DONT need to use ultrasn0w in your factory UNLOCKED iPhone because it is already UNLOCKED. just jailbreak it so that you can gain access to the free apps. See the difference?
Method of unlocking/jailbreaking the iPhone youtube.com google.com
Latest firmware Since 1/10/2009, Apple has updated all the iPhones to firmware 3.1 It means, all the iPhones in the market right now is in firmware 3.1 So? You CANNOT UNLOCK your current iPhone with that firmware because ultrasn0w can only support up to firmware 3.0.1
OMG~!!! What should I do?? Jailbreak your iPhone and be thankful that your iPhone can be used like an iPod Touch with a camera~!! LoL~ Jailbreak it so that you can still gain access to the FREE Apps. Use your phone that you have before you bought the iPhone. Wait until the new update for the ultrasn0w (weeks..months)
So... Seriously, BUY the iPhone ONLY if you are patience enough, hard-working enough and know well enough about it. This is not a NORMAL smartphone and thus making it very much special. Google is your best friend. do some research about it. If you are so cranky about it, dont waste your money buying the iPhone. In fact, that is the most STUPID thing to do.
So.. YOU THINK YOU CAN OWN AN IPHONE?? THINK TWICE BRO.. Dont be a HATER, dont make yourself look STUPID for knowing nothing about your own stuff.
Any question, you are welcome to do so in any method you prefer. CHIAOZ~!!

Recently Sony unveiled that the new version of PS3, will be out in the market starting from Sept. 1. The new PS3 will be 30% smaller and will come with a bigger HDD and the starting price is only $299~!!
Last week, I was really eager to buy a PS3 because few days back I've tried playing FIFA 09 PS3 during Sony roadshow in MidVal and graphic and the gameplay really have made me cried~!! I'm sure Mags and Abs will go to the balcony and scream their heads off because of the post-match impact.
Fortunately, one of the sellers told me that next week (this week) a new version of PS3 will come out and asked me to wait for that version. Ahh~ so sweet of him. Bayangkan, seller lain sure dah cucuk habis-habisan and I'll end up buying the big-assed version of PS3~damn!
Here is the review of the PS3 Slim from CNET. The specs of the new version are not really upgraded and the only upgrade is the HDD which comes in 120GB. Others are downgraded as they wanted to decrease the cost and to make it smaller. However the smaller the motherboard, more advance it will become. So, that part can be considered as 'has been upgraded'. hehe.
I'm getting this baby~!!! Ohh yes, I will. Screw 5th year, I want to kick Real Madrid's and Chelsea's ass. Btw, FFXIII~ can't wait!! ;)
PS : I just removed 2 items for the list of Barang-Barang Keperluan Akew. 1. SONY DSLR A330 2. Spain 2010/2011 Jersey
I'll update them in my next post! I'm so addicted to snap! snap! snap! lalala~
sorry i havent updated this blog lately, becoz i left my PC in Moscow so i dont have the chance to update it as frequently as before. plus, i don't really spend much time in my room here in Malaysia. huhu
Well, here's the latest update from iPhone OS 3.1 which is currently being developed. However, the BETA has already been released but I don't think I need it as much as I need the jailbroken one.
Okay,what is TAT Augmented ID? Roughly, it is a new features which could tell an ID of a person simply by flashing your iPhone. It is hard for me to explain but I attached a video for you and i think it will explain it all. ;)
I'm going to upgrade my phone to 3GS by the end of this month probably.. depends on the situation. hehee. i've calculated and i think buying it here is slightly cheaper and plus you can get free 500MB of internet every month without a minimum payment. Of course, it is the prepaid plan by Maxis.. and of course, the phone is UNLOCKED and WITHOUT CONTRACT.
I am so surprised tho.. why there are some Malaysian who are crazy enough to buy an iPhone 3G from other shops except from Maxis. I mean.. they are seling it for RM2490 for iPhone 3GS 16GB Unlocked, without contract. ( for iPhone 3G 8GB = RM1999) whereas the others are selling it like RM3500++ for the same one. Haishh~ kaya sangat la tu?
Trust me, buy your iPhone from Maxis and only Maxis. Not from some 'cikai' shop in Sungai Wang. One more thing, why there are some people who are sooo stupid and PAY to unlock their iPhones? come on, do some homework.. remember this principal when using the internet : Google is your BEST FRIEND. Unlocking/jailbreaking is FREE! you can do it in 10 minutes or maybe up to 30 minutes max if you are 'Prosta Noob' as Russians call it.
Ahh..well.. enjoy this video and don't forget to get yourself one!! and dont be a HATER. hahaha ;)
