jailbreaking your phone is a must.
The official website is the Iphone Dev

When they link to the jailbroke downloads its via the piratebay torrents, the only official place to get it.

Jailbreaking unlocks the OS and adds additional 'App Stores' called Cydia and Installer. Cydia is the best.

If you dont like the jailbreaking or want to return your phone, plug it back into the PC, fire up Itunes and click restore and it will always restore it back to standard firmware.

Once you have cydia, you download various sources to see additional downloads. download as many sources as you can.

Apps on cydia I recommend:
Catagories - allows you to create 'folders' on your desktop, keeps it tidy. I have two folders named apps and games.
Winterboard - allows you to add themes to your iphone.... a must have app.
Flashlight - use your phone as a flash light
MX Tube - download and store youtube videos on your phone
SwirlyMMS - picture messaging for your iphone.... yep!
VideoRecorder - record video
Iphone Modem - connect your laptop/PC to the iphone to get internet anywhere for free
Tioti TV+ - if you have Sky+, you can setup remote record and record directly from your iphone (its almost instant. This app is better than the Sky+ app itself)
BiteSMS - a must! allows you to forward text, send to many (all the features you miss)... you will also need to set the carrier to default carrier in preferences.
MCallShow - gives you a town location of where the caller is ringing from (handy)
ToneFX - easily change any sound to... any sound.
Nemusync - If you use google calendar (I do), it will sync with this.

On the app Store:
Everest: hidden expedition.. great game
bejewelled 2
labyrinth
Facebook
Shazam - record 10 seconds of any song and your Iphone will tell you the name and album for free.
Ebay - if you really use ebay much
Allowance - Shows you your bill so far (must register on the o2 website first)
Skype - Ive installed theis but yet to use it properly. It will allow you to make calls for nothing or next to nothing (I think), but im yet to go over my allowed minutes/text so I dont really use it. If you use Skype on your PC properly I guess it will be useful

Also, within Cydia is several themes (Complete) for you to download/install (for free).

If you have any questions, drop me a PM.
