Edited by Bo Zeng, 8/9/2011
iPhone is the most popular Smart Phone around those days, for it delivers a revolutionary experience, a whole new way of using your phone as no ordinary phone. It should impress you in your life. Behold the miracle Apple designed for you.
iPhone 3GS is the predecessor for its current version iPhone 4. Apple is rumored to release the next iPhone 5 this coming Fall. 3Gs has become a great deal for those who are not gear sensitive (ie. slower CPUs and smaller RAM, slightly lower resolution in their camera shots). It’s the cheapest iPhone in today’s market that supports iOs 4.3.3 and a whole bunch of great apps that are designed for the fancier iPhone4 and iPads. 2000RMB (you should easily find 320~USD deals in Ebay for jailbroken Iphone 3GSs) for this phone is really finding a treasure in the chest. Savor it!
Open the box:
When you open the box, what you should see is a new phone in its original protection cover. (with USB Dock Cable and a pair of Apple Ear Phone)
Software Preparation:
In order to sync and best control your phone (namely, transferring files, adding musics and managing software downloads and iTunes accounts), you need a PC or Mac Computer with a common USB connection host.
Unlike any other phone, Your iphone can only be connect to your computer through a software called iTunes. (please download iTunes from http://www.apple.com.cn/itunes/and read how to use it online)
Connect your phone using the accompanied USB dock cable to your computer.
WARNING:
Do NOT Ever Update or Restore your phone through iTunes. Because your iphone is a JailBroken Phone (which means it is not legal, it is shipped from US to China illegally and you are using a China Mobile SIM Card in lieu of AT&T Card)
If you clicked update or accepted any sort of upgrade through iTunes, you will NOT be able to use your iPhone in China (nor can you use pirate softwares)
Adding Music:
First please read and learn how to use iTunes beforehand. Then, simply drag any music files you have in iTunes to your device (listed in the left panel)
Difference from other ordinary Phone:
You will not be able to simply “open” your phone in your computer and copy mp3 files to your phone folder. Everything has to go through iTunes. iTunes takes care of categorizing your music and processing album pictures, song volumes and cross-over effects.
Downloading Free Software:
Now that this device is jail broken, you can download free softwares (which is otherwise several to several hundred dollars each) from your Phone:
