What's the difference between Summerboard and Winterboard?
I managed to find Winterboard and Buuf2 on Cydia, but when I installed it my background wasn't black - it was an image. I couldn't see a way of changing the wallpaper anywhere (the one in the System settings just changes the lock screen wp)

Yep will do, I need to read up on it a bit more though and gather some balls to do it

Need to know your login username mate.
Yeah dont use customize, it doesnt work properly yet, file permissions aren't right I think.
Just use Winterboard and if you really want a certain theme then download it on your mac/pc then SSH onto your phone and drop it in the themes folder there
I thought I read somewhere that existing O2 contract customers (non iPhone) could move over to the new 3g iPhone contract. But after speaking to O2 just now it seems its not the case.
My current contract expires in November (I have an original iPhone on my old exisitng pay monthly tariff), and they will only let me swap over to the new iPhone contract then. she says this is due to the 'amount of interest' in the new model, and that they 'May consider letting existing O2 contract customers, switch over to a new 18 month iPhone contract in the future'
Is this true, if so its a bit carp, I can upgrade my phone to any other phone if I sign a new contract, but just not the iPhone.

I had this problem too. I made such an ass of myself in the middle of an O2 store when they wouldn't let me upgrade when I thought I could! I was willing to pay a bit more aswell, wouldn't have it, looked on ebay - too expensive.
In the end I dropped my current contract down to the minimum a month. I think its £15 a month for unlimited texts, and started a new contract.
For the 2.5G iPhone, they had an offer where you can pay a flat fee of £150 (or something) to pay off the remainder of any amount of outstanding contract term (even month 1 of an 18-month contract) if you were upgrading to the iPhone.
However, there is no such offer for the 3G iPhone - probably because they already can't fulfill the demand for them so there is no need to run this kind of offer at all.

Slightly louder speakers
Flush headphone socket (matters if you use it for music)
I found that my Shure earphones have the correct type of plug for the first iPhone out of the box (it's slim enough near the plug to plug directly into the recessed socket). Some other earphones may also be fine for plugging it straight in, although you won't know till you try.
