@ryan, Ah well, keep us posted.. there's definitely a few very small (1mm or less) cracks around my headphone port, but they're only visible in bright light and don't seem to have quite broken the surface yet. Maybe they'll stay that way..
On another tack, really pleased to find a big update to the Spreadsheet app today. This is Softalk's Spreadsheet -
http://www.softalkltd.com/products/spreadsheet/ - which was the first one to hit the appstore back when the 3G was new. It started out a bit poor but has gradually improved. Until recently it's worked well but only with XML sheets, but since the increased competition from Quickoffice arrived they've obviously been playing catchup, and today's v2.0 release now supports .XLS format natively, and adds a ton of other improvements to make it pretty feature complete.
As someone who bought the app back when it was still pretty limited (but the best of a limited bunch) it's really nice to still be getting really significant free updates even now. That's one of the best things about the Appstore and the iPhone as an app platform, I think.

Yeah cheers @Boinng i certainly will keep you updated on the situ. And definitely agree about the app updates, nice to know that you instantly get updates when new features get added. Even nicer when you snap up a certain app for free, which turns in to a paid app, and then you continue to receive the new features for free
@voda, yeah dude, Wunder Radio is the be-all and end-all of radio apps. Dont think i've ever come across a more comprehensive radio app! So good. Especially great, as you say that you can even receive when out of a 3G area...

Been quiet here recently....
So what's anyone installed recently that's any good?
I'm not really a big fan of gaming on the device, but installed StickWars recently and had a bit of fun with that. Think it's 59p in the app store.
Any other good little addictive games worth the download?
As far as modding goes, currently loving the LockInfo stuff instead of using Intelliscreen on my lockscreen. Looks

I think everyone's just waiting with baited breath for the coming of 3.0, and a glimpse of the new hardware
The best thing I've added to mine lately is quite boring - a dictionary! The Concise English Dictionary by Jdictionary Mobile is 59p in the store at the moment and really good value, the vocab's really big and the interface is great too.
Apart from that I've been playing Flight Control (as mentioned by Masseur on the last page) quite a bit, only got up to 63 as my high score... that was 59p too.
Generally loving it though. Looking forward to 3.0 and I know I'm going to end up hankering over whatever new video-packing model they announce at the same time, but I'm nearly halfway through my contract now..

Hm cool, might have to have a look at flight control. Sounds like a patience game tho - which i'm no good at!
You're right though, think most are waiting for 3.0... some are even playing with 3.0 now. Contemplated it myself for a while as you can install it with a workaround without needing your UDID added to a dev acc. Just couldnt do without WinterBoard and customisation... it's still a big thing for me
I'm sincerely hoping that O2 will allow 3G users to sign a new contract and upgrade to the new model, like they did with the 2G-3G transition. Especially as talk of O2 losing exclusivity on the iPhone... if so they'll be even more likely to wanna keep iPhone users for as long as poss.

That's true, if there's actually going to be fair competition for iPhone custom then they may well offer us existing customers a good deal. I won't hold my breath though - to be fair, getting the new software will be quite a good upgrade in itself, and with June being slap bang in the middle of my 18 months I'm quite happy with that..
I suppose patience plays a part in Flight Control, it does get pretty hectic though!
EDIT: Very impressive Masseur!! I'm not surprised you took a screen shot!

I'm probably going to swap my iphone in due to the dust that has now accumulated but I'm worried about what I will get in return
has anyone done a swap and have some feedback on that?
also, please remind me how I un-jailbreak the iphone before I take it back

Where has the dust accumulated, under the screen? Can't really help on the jailbreak, I always assumed it was just a matter of letting itunes do some kind of restore of factory settings or FW update though.
