    So I am currently using a 4gb iPhone. My girlfriend got me an 8GB for my bday. Does anyone know how to switch iphones? Through iTunes I assume?

    thanks!

    I would assume you could just do it the same way you set up your original iPhone: through iTunes. Just plug it in and iTunes should recognize a new phone and ask you if you want to activate a new account (or update an already-existing account).
    Good luck.

    BTW, if you want to hack your iPhone/iPod Touch, AppSnapp is a breeze to use. NES emulator ftw!

    And when they update the firmware, you'll get hosed. I already saw it happen to someone.

    Apple is being a real prick about 3rd party software. Please don't pull a Sony. PSP is a lot worse thanks to Sony's dumbass moves.

    It is possible for an Iphone owner to not update their firmware?

    so basically just switch out simcards. So I put the new simcard from the 8GB into the 4gb and the old simcard from the 4gb into the 8gb?

    Will the 4gb be able to re-activated by anymore (future buyer).

    btw what do you mean by sync w/iphones? through iTunes?

    Yes. iTunes asks you first. However, in keeping with its newfound reputation as "toolbag corporation extraordinaire", it is possible that Apple could start forcing firmware changes.

    I guarantee you, the iPhone hacking community will be EXTREMELY careful about upgrading to the next firmware when it comes out. The effect of 1.0.2 --> 1.1.1 has everyone on edge now.
