Not free - but not expensive - I use TouchTerm URL, there is a basic and pro version, basic one works fine and is only 99c, paid one has some nice additions but not for $4.99 I don't need the features for that. If you are on a Jailbroken device you could install and use MobileTerminal, is pretty basic.

Black.
Called the iStore, they said that the warranty is with Vodacom, not with them. From what I read on this forum Vodacom does not do anything when it comes to physical damage...
The guy at the iStore also told me he his phone also has a crack by the charger (about 1cm) because he sat on it. But he had the crack for about six months now and it didn't expand or anything.
Thinking of maybe putting some industrial tape over it and getting a hard shell cover for the my phone...

i figured i'll wait another week till VC has stock, and then go in screaming, see what happens... annoying thin is, the new one will just get the same hairline cracks
I'm kind of a neat freak so the crack is REALLY annoying me.
Actually thinking about selling it.
Try this http://www.dexim.net/Product.html
I bought dexim cover set from Vodashop about 2 months ago, 2 silicone covers and one crystal cover, I rotate them and so far they seem fine considering the price.
You mean add some superglue on top of the crack to prevent it from spreading further?
Not quite. If you have separation, i.e. a real crack with a gap between the two "parts", you may be able to close the gap, depending on how much movement there is. You may also be able to fill in the gap, but this would depend on teh severity of the crack.
Just be very carefull with superglue - it is almost invisible when everything goes well, bit it can also leave a m**r of a mess if things go wrong.
thats it! But im not so happy. Would rather have just spent the little more and bought the speck one.
Thanks Mike, mobileterminal only gives you terminal access to the phone as far as I can see. You cant use it to SSH etc into other servers. Maybe im wrong.
It wont help! I had issues with my first iPhone. Signal kept dropping etc. Returned it within 7 days. I waited a further 3 weeks for a new phone. VC says that they cant just swap out the unit, it has to come from apple. So I dont think you going to have any luck. I called all over the country complaining to VC about the length of time it was taking. I think its pathetic!
It can also 'fix' a cracked screen. Dropped my phone some time ago, luckily the crack is off the screen (next to home button). Used superglue to keep the glass from popping out and hooking onto everything. (and not cutting my fingers!)

Hehehe, yeah, not cutting fingers while using the iPhone is always important
No problem, glad to help. I bought BiteSMS in the end as I way prefer it to the stock standard SMS app (mainly for the message character counter, I like see that), nice to send international messages cheaper as well.
Does anyone know how to enable Push Notifications on a hacktivated 2G iPhone?
I'm trying to get it to work for a friend so we can use BeejiveIM. I installed that 'Push Fix' package from that jewish source, but it's not working.

I have quite a bit of family living in Europe, so that was my only reason to use biteSMS. I used to buy plenty credit from them. I started noticing that my SMSs weren't going through and my family wasn't replying to me. Sometimes they would receive my SMSs 2 days later! I complained and they told me it's impossible cos the SMS's get sent immediately. I refuse to use it anymore, i've used up all my credit and have now made my family all buy BeejiveIM (im lucky we all have iPhones) and use our GTalk accounts. We've set it to disconnect after 7 days and it works seamlessly!
Now my only problem is trying to get the one cousin to activate Push Notifications on his 2G!
