Customizing the iPhone's background
Look friends, an iPhone with a pretty pic of a butterfly instead of the original all-black flavor. The folks at modmyiPhone have posted up a detailed -- 15 steps of detailed -- how-to if you want to express yourself in a new, more colorful way -- of course, as with any involved bit of fiddling, be warned that this could potentially tank your phone, so customize at your own risk. A couple things that we noticed right off about this mod are that the calendar icon seems to be falling off the display and the icon text is missing -- the author notes a few other issues in the article. This is still listed as a work in progress, so if you aren't brave, you may want to sit on your hands and enjoy the oh-so-slick blackness for a little while longer.[Via TUAW]

You mean the iphone doesn't support wallpaper? That's a pretty glaring omission.

This is the kind of BS that urks me about Apple and his Steveness. So(currently) you gotta jump through 15 hoops and possibly "brick" your phone to customize the background. Dude, what are you smokin'?

I doubt I'm the first to say it but "Can I get Windows Mobile on an iPhone?"

What's with the MMi network? Is there a hack to just chance the cellular network name? Probably just a photochop.

This is one of my biggest gripes. What's the point of a wallpaper when you only see it for a split second while unlocking the phone?
This better be an apple update.
