Really easy once you get the hang of it. The jailbreak means it fully unlocks the phone, and it can be used as a modem ie. you can connect it to a laptop and use it to get the Internet. But if you do it things can go wrong and also it voids the warranty Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Strong Stuff 2,171 Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 That's not a quick question! There are loads of free apps available, some useful ones, like on line banking, news, weather, moonphase, loads of very silly ones too. When you get your phone you need to open an itunes store account, you buy everything through that, it is secure, not like just entering your card details on the phone I've had an iphone since they first came out, most of the different models etc, they are a lot better now, have never jailbroken one though so can't help with that bit. I bet it's for sale soon though Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scothunter 12,609 Posted January 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 cheers lads,nah if i can master it ill hang on to it. so can i use it in the house say browsing, of my bt wireless broadband. which wouldnt use up my monthly allowance if you get what i mean. or is that the jailbreak thing. i would rather not mess with it though. seen an adaptor thing you can buy which puts your phone screen on the tv,but maybe im getting carried away i know f**k all about them lol. my thinking was get used to the iphone before making a commitment on ipad cause there kinda similar.

That's the jailbreak thing. You already have the Internet on the iPhone as long as its in ur contract and you're paying for it etc so you don't need broadband or anything else (apart from a phone signal!) Aye I was thinking about an iPad it looks like a big iPhone though don't know if it would be worth it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RossM 7,979 Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 I got an iPhone through the week there and as said bank details in and browse the apps, loads of handy ones that are free, I downloaded the photo bucket one and it's a piece of piss to use, also itv catch up and sports results ones, all handy as feck! Also have the iPad and you can synchronise them together using icloud, also handy, Just need ianb to sor out a "thehuntinglife" app for them. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

staffs riffraff 1,068 Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 Had all models except the 4s and once you get used to working it which in my opinion is a lot easier than any android or windows phone you won't really want another unless they change drastically. Best thing I have liked is the way the screen responds to touch not overly sensitive and it's instant. Which model you got scot Quote Link to post Share on other sites
