You should do the same on the iPhone as you did on the RAZR: Wait until you can afford one. I know I will.

The fact that you can't pay for it but a million people could only says you don't have the means to pay for it or that it's not worth its price for you. The former (my case) is objective, the latter is subjective. Considering it's the most succesful launch in the history of cellphones I'd say you're in the minority if it's the latter but, since you got a RAZR only when it had a rebate to get it for free, you really just couldn't afford the iPhone.

Welcome to the club. We'll wait until there is so much better stuff out there that carriers are willing to give it to us for the price of a mail-in rebate.]]>Jul 10th 2007 7:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/10/iphone-hackers-we-have-owned-the-filesystem/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/10/iphone-hackers-we-have-owned-the-filesystem/It could mean the black behind the menu (shown in the picture).

All you have to do is sync some photos through iPhoto and set one as your wallpaper.]]>Jul 10th 2007 8:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/10/iphone-hackers-we-have-owned-the-filesystem/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/10/iphone-hackers-we-have-owned-the-filesystem/ I think the issue is that most if not all cell phones now allow you to use your own wallpapers and ringtones. And for the price that you pay for the iPhone you kinda expect to have the same options as the cheaper phones. I think it's cool that they have managed to "crack" the file system but to boast that they can now make the iPhone do what all other phones can already do isn't anything special. And before you say that I'm just complaining because I can't afford one that's not the case. I can easily afford one it's just I don't want one right now. I may get one sometime in the future but right now it just doesn't appeal to me.]]>Jul 10th 2007 8:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/10/iphone-hackers-we-have-owned-the-filesystem/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/10/iphone-hackers-we-have-owned-the-filesystem/
the iPhone allows you to set wallpaper already. You can customize the wallpaper of the idle/locked screen. People want to customize the HOME (menu) screen and I bet thats what the hackers did. Ive never come across a cell phone yet that would allow me to customize thier menu screen.

If apple roles out another iTunes update with a built-in build your own ringtone functionality.. it will go beyond anything that current cell phones have.

The thing about the iPhone is that it has amazing potential. The device could easily change the entire industry if Apple chooses to truely live up to the possibilities that exist with this device. ]]>Jul 10th 2007 9:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/10/iphone-hackers-we-have-owned-the-filesystem/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/10/iphone-hackers-we-have-owned-the-filesystem/
Ever used a Blackberry? ;)

Not only can you alter the background behind the main "menu" screen you can also alter the order of the icons and which ones are actually displayed. So yes, some phone companies do allow you to alter their menu screens.]]>Jul 10th 2007 9:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/10/iphone-hackers-we-have-owned-the-filesystem/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/10/iphone-hackers-we-have-owned-the-filesystem/Jul 10th 2007 10:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/10/iphone-hackers-we-have-owned-the-filesystem/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/10/iphone-hackers-we-have-owned-the-filesystem/Jul 10th 2007 10:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/10/iphone-hackers-we-have-owned-the-filesystem/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/10/iphone-hackers-we-have-owned-the-filesystem/Jul 10th 2007 10:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/10/iphone-hackers-we-have-owned-the-filesystem/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/10/iphone-hackers-we-have-owned-the-filesystem/Jul 16th 2007 3:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/10/iphone-hackers-we-have-owned-the-filesystem/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/10/iphone-hackers-we-have-owned-the-filesystem/Jul 10th 2007 11:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/10/iphone-hackers-we-have-owned-the-filesystem/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/10/iphone-hackers-we-have-owned-the-filesystem/Jul 10th 2007 12:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/10/iphone-hackers-we-have-owned-the-filesystem/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/10/iphone-hackers-we-have-owned-the-filesystem/
Every phone I've used, and I mean EVERY PHONE that came out after the 90s has let me change my wallpapers and ringtones, even my numerous "free with contract" phones that have almost no features.

The iPhone specs were known long before it was released. Whatever information was missing was available the very same day it was launched. There have been no surprises. If it's crap now then it was crap a week ago and three months ago.

Unless, of course, I'm missing the point that writing a comment just to show you dislike the iPhone tries to make. Woohoo, you're a rebel, good for you.]]>Jul 10th 2007 7:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/10/iphone-hackers-we-have-owned-the-filesystem/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/10/iphone-hackers-we-have-owned-the-filesystem/Jul 10th 2007 11:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/10/iphone-hackers-we-have-owned-the-filesystem/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/10/iphone-hackers-we-have-owned-the-filesystem/

That aside, it might mean that they know where the apps are stored and opens up the possibility of adding third party apps by just copying them into the filesystem, that's if anyone figures out how to write an app for the iPhone in the first place.]]>Jul 10th 2007 8:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/10/iphone-hackers-we-have-owned-the-filesystem/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/10/iphone-hackers-we-have-owned-the-filesystem/

I also don't under stand why so called HACKERS. Brag about something but don't detail any information. I hate to say it and never do. But this might be a basic photoshop. If it's not just being able to move some icons around, a feature id love.

I'm excited to see these hacks coming. I really hope they open the door for some real customizing and third party apps. More then anything I hope they push Apple to open up the iPhone to third party app development. And unlock it so I can use the iPhone with T-Mobile.]]>Jul 10th 2007 9:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/10/iphone-hackers-we-have-owned-the-filesystem/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/10/iphone-hackers-we-have-owned-the-filesystem/Jul 10th 2007 10:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/10/iphone-hackers-we-have-owned-the-filesystem/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/10/iphone-hackers-we-have-owned-the-filesystem/Jul 10th 2007 1:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/10/iphone-hackers-we-have-owned-the-filesystem/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/10/iphone-hackers-we-have-owned-the-filesystem/Jul 11th 2007 10:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/10/iphone-hackers-we-have-owned-the-filesystem/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/10/iphone-hackers-we-have-owned-the-filesystem/
