allright........ i have an old iphone 2g. it says connect to itunes........i do that but in itunes it wants to make me activate it first...... ALL I WANT TO DO IS USE IT AS AN IPOD TOUCH!!
iPhone is a Apple product...I have an old iPhone 2G....I can connect to itunes.I am a photographer and like to capture wedding photographs...so I have less knowledge about these new technologies...
2G works different than 3G, 3GS or Iphone 4, Itunes actually asks you to pick plan and you have to stick with it while 3G, 3G or Iphone 4 just activate it and bring the phone to home screen w/o requiring you to pick any plan.
OP, just use redsn0w to hacktivate & unlock the phone. You can get this tutorial from www.iclarified.com. Once you jailbreak & unlock the phone, you can use it as an ipod touch.
