I did it! I bought an iPhone. I was sick of the waiting for the announcement-that-never-came on launching the iPhone in The Netherlands. And after reading about all the hacks that are spreading the net right now, I jumped in. On eBay I found someone from California who had plenty of iPhones on offer. I did a winning bid. And now I am waiting for the parcel to arrive. I guess coming Monday is D-Day.
Then the hacking starts. I already downloaded all necessary programs, manuals and what have you. While reading I entered a complete new world (while familiar with hacking gadgets) where Jailbraking and other intriguing terms rule. This needs to be done, while in The Netherlands the iPhone would otherwise be a very expensive iPod. I am planning to keep you all posted on my experiences. Now I’ll wait in anticipation for the überhyped gadget to arrive.
update September, 26th: The seller @ eBay is very uncommunicative at the moment. He sent me a tracking-number, but this appears to be invalid. No response up until now on my requests for clarification… This might become a lesson in “how to handle when a transaction on eBay goes wrong. I’ll keep you posted….
My iPhone arrived. Read the posting here.
