Hi Everyone a :apple:iPhone:apple: newbie here,

I recently purchased an iPhone thinking I was switching over to AT&T sadly I was wrong, I now have a 16GB iPhone 3G and am not really sure how to use it so I jailbroke it and its actually pretty cool. I basically have my self a shiny iPod Touch w/ camera. Just what I always hoped apple would make! Any suggestions on what I should do to get rid of the annoying "No Sim Card Installed alerts":confused:

Thanks

put the att sim card that comes in the box or unlock it, sell it or buy a at&t prepaid.
 
But that shuts off GPS, and some other goodies. Theres gotta be an [jailbroken] app for that

Shuts off what GPS? There is no service on the phone, meaning airplane mode would disable an antennas trying to reach out to look for service which in the end would drain the battery quicker.

Make It Mine and FakeCarrier both allow you to change the text in the upper left corner along with the time in the center if you so choose.

Service isn't necessary to use the GPS. It relies on satellites.

I knew that but I thought because it was assisted GPS it still needed actual "service" to make the solid connection.

If what that girl suggested is true. Who cares about GPS. and Who cares about battery draining. just keep it plug in. I would rather have the Internet above all else.

You need the service to download map data, otherwise you're just a bright blue dot on a gray background. I would imagine with the Tom Tom app you'd be able to view the maps without service, but I've never used it.
