@Todd,

Thanks for the comments. I am glad that you find my posts helpful. And also, I appreciate the feedback on the amount of "Other" space. I'm starting to think that the "Other" space is all of the 3rd Party Apps. I'm going to try a full restore without any kind of sync back to see if I can kill it. 200 MB is too much.

Sorry to post twice, but I wanted to add that my "other" category is at 15.9MB. I don't know what that means exactly, but if I were to guess why there is a difference between mine and yours...

I only recently performed the Jailbreak and hadn't had the opportunity to add-on too many 3rd party apps.

I also used your instructions for the Jailbreak. I was very impressed after searching through so many other terrible instructions. Kudos.

I have also just one the 1.1.3 update, which went very smoothly. I was worried I was going to have to downgrade to 1.1.1 or something, but was surprised to find out it was a click of a button.

Again, thanks for being a calm, clear voice in the middle of the crazy iphone sea.

I appreciate the quick response. Good advice on waiting a few weeks for the shakeout. As an early adopter of technology it's always tough to suppress the itch for the latest and greatest. :)

@ Mike,

Thanks for the comments. I am using a stock iPhone with the original AT&T SIM. From my understanding, Apple is really tightening down the unlocking stuff (some legally unlocked iPhones in Europe now are being relocked). So, I think that it is highly unlikely that you will be able to use your Cingular SIM.
I would wait a few weeks (?) for the Jailbreaking/Unlocking to begin again and then wait to see how it goes.
Thanks,
HTD

Thank you for providing your observations. When I jailbroke my OTB 1.1.2 iphone i used your instructions and links as they were the most organized and comprehensive I could find on the web.

When you upgraded to the 1.1.3 firmware what SIM were you using? I have a Cingular SIM and want to make sure the phone (incoming/outgoing calls) still work after the upgrade.
