Yes the phone needs to be jailbroken before it is unlocked.
On principle, I never ship outside developed countries with excellent delivery notification services. Even if the buyer pays, there is a lot of scamming that involves claiming the package was never received, filing a claim with PayPal, and winning (getting their money back + a free phone) if the seller is unable to provide definitive proof it was delivered.
Try GroupMe. The best way to describe it is as group texting, or texting with 'CC. You text (for free, using the app) and everybody in the particular chain gets the text as either a GroupMe notification or an old-school text message if they don't want to get the app. It's perfect for coordinating with a group of folks who are all doing something together, but are dispersed (out at a game with a bunch of friends is the obvious use case, but it's also really good for say, keeping a running text conversation going with a group of old buddies).
If its just one class, the BAII will be more than sufficient (and generally easier to use IMO). If you plan to go into a finance career, best get the 12-C and learn how to use it (I hate that calculator -- others rave) as it will show up as a necessary tool for most tests during the rest of your career.
I'm just taking FINC 101 as an elective, so I went with the $1 one. Thanks to everyone for the feedback.
Here's the Gizmodo list of best iPhone apps (updated monthly). Macworld is also a good source for app reviews.
I recommend the Twitter client, Dictionary, Google places, IMDB, Bing ( Microsoft made a great search app and the voice recognition is fantastic), Crackle, Cyclemeter (if you ride a bike for exercise), Nike + GPS, Dropbox, mSecure (password app), Brushes, and 100 pushups.
I know this isn't the norm here but on my other forum we are posting screen shots of Apps for some ideas on new ones. Here's a list of most of the stuff I've downloaded.
Jesus H Christ I have less stuff on my PC!
Hop Stop and NYC Way, both free. HS is pretty much what you asked for, NYC Way is a more cumbersome thing that tries to do too much.
It's been glossed over, but that is the one to use. Very processor-friendly and a nice clean UI to it.
iTransNYC is good, though it costs money. $2, I think. Hop Stop is also good.
This might be too late, but iTransNYC is what I use. It's usually accurate and I like how it lists all the weekend delays and stuff. Very useful.
TuneIn has been blocked as well. Download "Stitcher Radio", which is free, has an endless library of podcasts, and a huge library of radio live feeds as well, including a supported SportsHub feed.
iMapMyRide is tremendous, plus it works not only for bike rides, but for hikes, walks, etc.
Not as of now. Apple claims that the purchase history must be saved due to their "accounting software system" that must keep a record of your purchases at all times. They ignore the fact that with their resources, they could code a simple "hide" feature that would not force a delete and alleviates their concerns, but their bad excuse makes me think they're close to fixing the issue.
WIth the new Photostream/iCloud integration, I'd rather all my pictures be immediately uploaded and do the fiddling from a desktop interface. This is actually the main reason I've ditched Camera+ after using it for the past year or so. That, and the volume button hack that STARTED with Camera+ (and resulted in an exile from the App store for a while) that is now supported by the regular camera app.
Yeah, wherever you do your first batch of editing, ideally your pictures will "pause" before the cloud sucks them up. I like to use Camera+ first, and desktop after - but I can see it working both ways.
