Can anyone recommend some good earphones for the iphone? Pref the ones that sit in your ear, and dont want to spend more than say £20-30. Someone told me skull candy ones were good once...

I was speaking to a bloke in the Apple Store (a customer) who had had both these. He said there really was no difference between the 2, what-so-ever! He was baffled as to why Apple has 2 version of the film!!

Not sure about skull candy headphones, but if you're looking for some good in-ear ones then i can recommend a couple for you.
Goldring G200's on play.com for £17.99..RRP is usually £40. Bought a pair yesterday...so hopefully they are still at that price.
I personally use a set of Sennheiser CX500's that i got off Amazon Marketplace for around £38 inc del. Really good little headphones, usually retail around £50... but be careful with buying Senn's of Marketplace or eBay though as there are lots of fakes around.
The Senn CX300's are also a good bet too for around £15
There were also Shure E110's on play.com yesterday for £17.99 but they're no longer at that price.

Great, my Cydia's stopped working, another restore.
Just to make things clearer for you guys:
iPhone 2G
Can be unlocked unofficially and will always be unlockable, no matter what. If you do upgrade your baseband in this iPhone, you can always downgrade. But remember, this iPhone will never be able to be unlocked offically.
iPhone 3G
Can be officially unlocked but not unofficially, not yet anyways. In the newer firmwares, 2.2 onwards Apple have updated the baseband so you can't use TurboSIMS and stuff like that, the only solution is to get a custom IPSW or stay at 2.1. If you are officially unlocked, as in from when you took it out of the box, you can upgrade to any firmware as you wish, even if it upgrades the baseband.
Regarding the iPhone 3G quote - Neo-Tech you're almost correct. But apparently, if you bought a
Officially Unlocked 3G handset BUT it has a Model Code from a country where the handset is locked you might be in trouble if you update to 2.2.
The reason being that when updating the handset will assume that you are
trying to update an unofficially unlocked handset and therefore mess up the baseband.
I'm going to try updating my official unlocked italian iphone with a USA Model Number so will confirm if this is true or not. Apple have assured me that this will not lock up the phone. But if it does they will unlock it for me again!!!
Wish me luck folks
That's where your going wrong. Your saying it's offically unlocked and it is but then your also saying it's updating a unoffically unlocked handset when it's offically unlocked. Remember, if you are offically unlocked, no matter what happens you'll stay unlocked, that simple!
Look, it even worked, yay, xD.

Strange hey!
I was looking over on the Apple Forum and so many people have had the problem of their handset being locked up because the Model Code was not from the country they bought their "officially unlocked" handset from. One example was of a bloke who bought his, like mine, from Italy off Vodafone. But when he went and updated to 2.2 BANG! it got locked up. The same happened to another guy who bought his from Australia.
But then, the flip side to all these stories is that myself, along with others, have managed to update to 2.2.
I guess it's all a bit of a gamble.

Well that's definitely not true - one is clear and one is frosted!

I'd also recommend the Sennheiser CX300s. Just make sure you get them from somewhere reputable like Amazon as there a lot of fakes around.
