1.1.1 is now totally Funtastic
The 1.1.1 crackfest continues with the release of iFunstastic 4.6.1. What can you do with iFuntastic? Heck, what can’t you do with it? Besides custom ringtones, changing up your Home screen, and altering the system sounds, the program also makes it a snap to jailbreak your phone, regardless of the firmware version. It’ll even walk you through downgrading to 1.0.2, jailbreaking, and then upgrading back to 1.1.1 in such a way that it keeps your phone hackable.
The major annoyance at this point is the time it takes, and the number of times you have to restart your phone along the way. Other than that, though, this is iPhone hacking at its best. One other note: iFuntastic is now shareware. You’ll get five free uses, but after that, you’ll have to pony up $5.

Magnificent revolutionary device which I've played with in the retail store and tried out with friends who own it. The problem though is who can hear anything. It's lacking substantive volume when it should have a strong speakerphone volume in an of itself (without having to use extra products which are designed to boost sales.) Lacking decent volume is a major deficiency in the design. Each person I've spoken to who owns it says this is the most serious problem with it at the moment and they're not sure it's getting addressed. They hold up the phone and ask me to try to hear. -----Remember the Motorola Timeport - you could put that phone in the middle of an office and conduct conference calls on it. It was clearer than the landline. Also, some of the current LG phones have powerful speakerphones that work.

I tried downgrading and then upgrading my phone only to have the software tell me I need to spend money and that my trail for 5 upgrade/downgrades was used up. I still haven't found a way to work around that, lame cause I only tried once.

I couldn't agree more with Pat. The volume thing is a MAJOR and daily annoyance. Even the fan on my quiet iMac can drown out the speakerphone, when the iPhone is sitting on my desk. And don't even get me started on the ring/alert volumes. You better be lookin' at your phone if you're waiting for an important call.
I said to my wife not an hour ago that I'd consider giving up my iPhone. All the bells and whistles are great and the integration with my Mac is everything I dreamed it would be... But as a phone, the thing kind of sucks. And isn't that the point of all this?

Five free uses? What does that mean? What happens after? I gave up on them when they started showing their giant ugly logo every time I changed apps on my iPhone. Now I have to pay? About as exciting as feeling my iPhone vibrate whenever I enter a Starbucks, offering me a chance to buy lame music when all I wanted was a cool, refreshing java-chip frappuccino. Why is my iPhone becoming a serious suck-zone for poor revenue ideas?

Maybe you've got a bad unit. Bring it to an Apple Store and ask them to look at it. My iPhone is not as quiet as you describe.
