It's arrived! Tips?

My new 3GS iphone has just arrived at work.

I'm so excited

Now before I go any further, are there any tips I need to know or sequence of things to do? I've read a lot of stuff about using the included sim to get free wifi (im going to be on simplicity), charging and recharging the battery a few times and so on. Im also going to jailbreak i think

Anyone got any advice to make it the ideal iphone experience

I've done loads, and posted a few times.

I didn't quite know what to search for to ask if there was a correct process to do things in

I know you guys love telling people to use the search; I do

You say you wanna JB, so that would be my first action. Then install Winterboard. From there you can install themes, apps etc. You WILL become obsessed with changing the look of your new toy

Yeah, just experiment really. You can't do anything irreversable whilst 3.0.1 is around.
