    Can anyone tell me how - if any way - to turn off iTunes automatically starting up when I put my iPhone into it's cradle?

    it can get a tad annoying, if i only want to charge the iPhone.

    not entirely sure, simply because i haven't tried it with mine, but in the syncing tab in iTunes' preferences there is an option to disable automatic syncing for all iPhones and iPods.

    This might do the trick!

    "Open iTunes when iPhone is connected" in the Summary tab?

    Sorry if this is a stupid question, but how do you get around the 2 year Cingular contract?

    quite simple, they allow you to buy the phone and then later register and sign up for the contract through itunes.

    if you do the process of jailbreaking (same process as on the ipod touch) your phone doesn't need to be activated, and can be used like a iphone sans phone part until you unlock it, using either the program anysim (if you have firmware 1.1.1 or eariler) or a simcard solution if you have 1.1.2 or higher.

    oh its not!!! buy one now and you're truly ****ed!

    1.1.3 has broken even the TurboSim solution.

    It looks like this is one instance where it pays to be an early adopter

    "Fixed" I think you'll find is the correct term :)

    stealth sim will still work according to PowerHouseDan over here http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055113165

    but it may be some time before jailbreak 1.1.3 is released to the public.
