Yes! My love is working again! I broke my touch screen last month and had to fall back on my Nokia 9300i. Not nice when you are used to an iPhone! After some calls to some iCenters and Apple stores, I found that it was not possible to fix my iPhone trough regular channels. After some googling I found a small company here in the Netherlands that was happy to send me a new screen for €49,- excl. €7,- shipping. So I ordered one and within two days I had my screen! Best service ever! So if some part of your iPhone is broken, check this site for parts: www.ipod-service.nl The company can fix your phone too, if you want to send your iPhone to them, so give them an e-mail if you have questions! Real nice people!

I’ve just upgraded my iPhone to the latest 3.0 release… It was immediately simlocked! “Simlock active.” Why?! My iPhone is from Czech Republic, where they are sold simlock free! After a panic I found a way to get around this… Just restart the phone without a simcard. Open up iTunes, put back in the simcard and wait for iTunes to unlock the card. And we are happy campers! The phone restarts automaticly… And after boot, all files are synced back to the phone… Need a drink now. Stress full moments…

Forgot to post that I have my iPhone. I have it for a month now and it is really the best phone i’ve owned ever! Some drawbacks… Only apps from the appstore can be installed without jailbreaking. There is not a free IRC client in the appstore. There is not a free SSH client in the appstore. When you want to develop your self, to get your app on the appstore, you’ll have to pay Apple $200 for a free app and $500 and 30% of all income for a payed app. No copy paste function (yet). Rest it is realy the best toy ever!
