My iPhone lost it's Edge...

So yeah. I've always had my iPhone hacked, or "jailbroken" as the term goes, to let me install 3rd party apps. Only the latest version is a little messed up, and now I can't connect to the Edge network... Now the Edge network isn't the speediest kid on the block, but at least it's faster than what I have now! I didn't think it would be a deal breaker but today I finally got sick of it. Luckily there is a way to restore it back to firmware 1.1.1 and re-upgrade it to a newer hacked version of 1.1.3, but the process is taking forever. :( By the way, why did Mac get rid of the sad mac icon?? I always felt it empathized with me when our old OS 9 G3 Macs would incessantly crash in the middle of our layout design back at the newspaper...
