Let me start this off by why I hate it.

NES doesn't work
SERVICES app keeps turning EDGE back on. (really annoying since I dont have unlimited data and this is going to kill my bill)
CUSTOMIZE cant change anything
INSTALLER constantly needs to be "refreshed" to work
SUDOKU (and many other lovable apps and games) wont install!

anyone have anything to add?

Does your wife cook?
If so I'll trade you my pos 1.1.3 iphone for her.....

No, I doubt you could afford her (perhaps you could i dont know you), but thanks for the offer. Go buy another 400 iphone.

edit.. i cant stop laughing at the cooking thing...good one..does anyone cook anymore?!

Just thought I'd comment on some of your points:

NES works fine for me..
SERVICES doesn't work and that is a pain cause i'm on the same boat as you with the plan..
CUSTOMIZE I don't use it, I use Summer Board and it works great!
INSTALLER I will admit is taking a little longer to refresh but after that it's fine..
SUDOKU is one of the many games and apps that I have been able to install and they work fine...

So my question is, What method did you use to unlock/jailbreak/activate... Maybe that is the source of your problem instead of 1.1.3..

Plus, how could you live without the wiggling icons??!! LOL!!

I used zIphone.
I upgraded from my unlocked 1.1.1 phone (which originally started out as 1.0.2 otb i believe) to 1.1.3.
I have had nothing but problems with this.
I dont use themes so springboard is useless to me, customize was useful to change individual settings.
I tried gettin NES to work by downloading 2.05 and installing it manually since its not avaliable in installer but everytime I launched it I get a white screen for about 15-20 seconds (basically frozen cause home button doesnt do anything) and then it refreshes back to the springboard.
Sudoku is one of the few I actually use and I couldnt get it to install.. then again installer may be to blame for that.
The worst part of it all was I originally didn't plan to upgrade... then I came on here because I was having problem with my iPod crashing at random and I wanted to get NES runnning, and someone suggested I upgrade... silly me went ahead and did it and not only did it not fix my ipod crash problem now I cant get NES to work at all and on top of that a dozen more problems climbed into my lap.

services sucks. I had problems with that even in 1.1.2. Try bossprefs. Its like services, but it actually works. In both 1.1.2 and 1.1.3. btw, soduku installed fine for me.

Doesn't it say very clearly that Ziphone unlocking is for 4.6 BL phones??? Did you UNLOCK with Ziphone?
If you're not actively downloading having EDGE doesn't rack up a bill, so what's the problem? Are you saying you can't resist browsing when you're away from a wifi signal so somehow the firmware is to blame?

i dont remember mentioning that I had a problem with my unlock?... Im pretty sure I had bl 4.6.... if I didnt wouldnt the unlock not have worked??
and my problem with edge is automatic email checking and i often accidently hit the safari icon.
Rogers charges 5cents / kb.... auto email check every hour and an accidental web page load a few times a week is going to rack my phonebill up an extra $500... no thanks!
Thanks for your input tho

Thats why i downgraded back to a jailbroken 1.1.2

And with 1.1.3, if you feel your always accidentally hitting the safari button, you can use the jiggly icons and move the safari button away to another page on the springboard, that way you have to flick to the next page in order to launch safari.

Why don't you turn OFF automatic checking??? An accidental webpage load is NOT going to rack up an extra $500....and why don't you have at least 2 mbs of data in your account? Why would anyone have a phone capable of checking email and not have at least 2mbs of data?

I don't want to turn off autocheck because when I am at home and at work there is a wifi connection and I like being notified of emails comming through.
I know there is a way to turn it off, the fact is its an inconvience that edge doesnt disable. Theres ways to put up with every problem with the iPhone, the point is we dont want to, especially when it was already running smoothly.

When I first set up my edge I opened one web page, checked email twice and opened locate me once and i got $48 in data charges on my bill.

I have added a 5mb package to my account now, but seeing as how quickly that goes the last thing I need is to exceed it unknowingly and get an unplesent bill.
And no I cant use the edge counter because it resets back to 2kb everytime edge goes on and off.

But anyhow, have you tried using BOSSPREFS app instead of SERVICES? I find it to be a more reliable app. Maybe that will solve your edge settings problem.

./ziphone -a -j -b for a new OOTB iPhone and you're set.

well here goes the first legit hatred i have for 1.1.3. lets say im in a game or something and i get a text. i hit close(ignore) it goes away but it does not put the little number above the text box like 1.1.1 did(skipped 1.1.2) so if i forget that i have a text i have no reminder. but 1.1.3 in general is horrible. less battery life and i have no "improved signal" i actually get "no service" at work where on 1.1.1 i had 3 bars at all times. oh and "google locate" is a joke. it didnt even put me in the right side of town. only reason im sticking with 1.1.3 is because i already have it packed with apps and themes. oh and i can live without the jiggly icons LOL

Multiple reboot of the phone + 1-2min load time before going back to the homescreen. suxky...
