iPhone

I had just bought an iPhone from ebay. The item was shipped to me via express delivery by USPS. It was incredibly fast. The model that I bought was the iPhone with firmware 1.1.1 and have the sim unlocked.

After the first unwrap, I was so please with the condition of the phone. I spent many hours on Sunday try to configure the system with Thai localization. I successfully configured it to play the any converted ringtone so I won't be limited to a very small choice of Apple pre-supplied ringtones. Apple try to sell every contents from their iTune store including ringtone.

Anyhow with a few patch installation, I also get the Thai font loaded. It was not as hard as I think. Now even if I upgrade the firmware to 1.1.2, I still have the capability to read Thai and play around with Ringtone krub.

By the way, I also found the iPhone Browser is a helpful tool from Google Code to transfer ringtone as the iTune will not accept the coverted .M4R file. iPhoneBroser will allow you to upload the file directly to the Library/ringtone folder, bypassing the iTune.

Here is the code of what to do to get the iPhone work in Thai with any GSM mobile operators and ringtone capability. Enjoy the show.
