[edit] Tips/Tricks/Hacks
Tip: Custom Ringtones
Mac users can make custom ringtones quickly and easily using the latest version of GarageBand. After updating, a new option will appear under File > Export that will allow you to save your sound track as an iPhone-compatible ringtone. For this to work, your GarageBand track must be 30 seconds or less... and it will auto-convert the format you have imported (MP3, AAC, etc).
Hack: Preserve Unlock Potential
The makers of PwnageTool have cautioned that updating to iPhone OS 2.0.1 may prevent the device from being SIM unlocked in the future. To avoid this problem, only update to version 2.0.1 by using PwnageTool. The application installs the firmware update in a manner that preserves the ability to SIM unlock the device. The makers of PwnageTool are currently developing a SIM unlocking method, and when it is released, you will be able to also SIM unlock your device using PwnageTool.
