1. I'm based in the uk and i remember reading that the iphone dev team released their unlocking software for the iphone recently, does anyone know the likely hood of a sim card registered on the 3 network in the uk working? (i know there's some issues getting a lot of phones working on the 3 network if they weren't originally on it)

2. Can i use any 3.5mm headphones with it or do i have to use the ones apple provide?

3. can you use the gps feature as a navigation tool (some phones i've seen have gps but you have to pay to use it which is kinda annoying)

4. can i activate it at home or do i need to take it up town to the o2/carphone warehouse store to do so?

any help is greatly appreciated guys


regards

You can use any 3.5mm headphones with the 3G. And you don't have to pay for the GPS on iPhone, but it WON'T tell you the directions out loud, and you have to press a little arrow at the top of the map, instead of it automatically moving to the next step in your trip when you finish a segment.

I don't know about the network/activation questions, sorry. However, I'm sure that somebody around here can help.

I think you can activate it at home but I would take it to the place you got it from.

Yeah, you can use whatever headphones you want.

The GPS is free to use.

I just went to Houston over the weekend. It was great. I went to Track21 (which took FOREVER TO GET THERE!)...it was amazing.
