Finally received my first ever touch screen phone on Saturday and was happily twiddling with the phone and downloading the free apps that came with it!

iPhones have been known to be highly customisable….but provided that you jailbreak your phone to have access to tons n tons of free apps by a 3rd party developer! I was hesitant about JB’ing my phone since it might be unstable and the warranty might be void! BUT…after I chanced upon the theme below…I knew I had to have it!!! hahaha so this is how my iPhone Springboard looks like now after JB! hehehe

Useful guides were aplenty on the web and tutorials are not that difficult to follow although there’s some apprehension when I first started the JB process! JB allows you to install Cydia, the most popular underground Applications (Apps) store within the iPhone community. With Cydia, your phone will be transformed from an ordinary one to a simply amazing entertainment machine!!!

To customise your phone with themes like the Super Mario one that I’m currently using, search for the theme in Cydia, download Winterboard to load it onto your Springboard and lalallala you have your own unique personalised iPhone!!

Those who are interested can refer to this super duper useful tutorial for JB newbies!

Note that this JB guide is accurate as of today for iPhone 3GS with firmware 3.0.1 update…do check the site for the latest updates! One tip is not to install Cydia together with Icy as it causes my Cydia to keep having error msgs :S

Proceed with care as nobody can guarantee that things will turn out fine…but if u follow the tutorials closely and do your research well…there shouldn’t be much of a problem~
