Hi Cindika2, regarding your iPhone you don't really need the Sim Card in there if you just wanna run some Apps like games, play music, watch pictures, music videos, or movies. The Sim Card has nothing to do with it. But it has to do with your contact list and your phone carrier. Like when making a call or accessing your contacts saved contacts and setups of your phone.
So the answer is "no". It's just gonna act like an iPod Touch wherein you could access all multi-media stuffs including going to internet via WiFi.
Hi ma'am Chuanora, yes you need a valid Sim Card only for the iPhone to function as a phone.
But without the Sim Card your phone would still operate.
As a Multi-media Player, just without the phone functionality.
Ty Doc6 and jiroyan, I'm planning on getting an 8gig Iphone 3g. My dilemma is, baka kulang ang 8gig para sa akin. So ang question ko is
1. Para sa iyo, sapat o kulang ang 8g?
2. Normally kase (well pag computers at least) pag malapit nang maubos nag space sa HD (e.g. 250gig, 2gig free) you can feel the system slowing down. Is this also the case with an Iphone?
3. Is it okay to get a 2nd hand one? why/why not?

Hi, it depends kung ano ang mga ilalagay mo. If just Music, Pictures, Contacts. Okay lang yan. But kung Videos ang involved, then mapuno kaagad yan. Especially full length feature movies.
My rule of thumb is, I want to separate the phone from the media player/mp3 player. The reason is saving battery when needed to make a call.
And oh, 2nd hand are fine basta may warranty din. Apple Stores do sell used iPods & iPhone. Whenever some trades-in I guess. Dunno exactly if they trade-in products. But I do know they sell 2nd hands 'coz my cousin bought from them. It's working fine and all. So it all depends on who are you buying it from. Make sure to go to a legitimate store, or better yet an Apple Store.
I bought a 16gb iPod Touch when it first came out, i knew it wasn't enough but that was the biggest they had. After putting in 'bout (7) 2hrs movies, (8)music videos, (990) songs, (1,675) pictures, (lots) contacts, (lots) schedules sa calendar.... I'm left with 1gb of my 16gb. That's why I bought another, a 32gb 2nd Gen iPod Touch.
I'm so sorry Myadz, I hope someone here could help you. Kasi wala ako dyan, so i dunno kung saan makabili.
Any takers, sa mga may alam? Fellow Sulitizen?
Nimwey! so I take it, it worked. Good for you.
Doon mo e organized sa iTune. Pasok ka sa Movie Library, then piliin mo any na vids gusto mong e organize at mag right click ka may lalabas na window at piliin mo the first one "get info". Click that and a new window pops out, then click on video tab and fill in necessary infos. If you want and this is out of their rules, lagyan mo ng number bawat vids mo either before or after sa bawat titles. Then maggiging in order sila.
I'd advise you to buy a book on iPod/iPhone. Mura lang man yun. And there are a tons of tricks that I don't even know yet. hehehe
I'm sorry you feel that way. Are you sure it's the screen, 'coz sometimes it could be the rechargable battery. I've experience this from some friends' iPod where they've let the battery run out totally and for an extended period of time. And when they try to recharge it, it won't come on anymore. That case, there's 2 solutions: First, reset the iPod by press & hold Power button and Menu button simutaneously until apple logo comes out usually 'bout a minute or 2. If that doesn't work then go to the second, opening it's case and unplug the battery for a few seconds then plug it back in.
Everytime I buy a new one, I also buy a protective guard for the glass and as well as the body. On my first iPod (one with the Click Wheel & a small non-color screen, I think it's the 3rd Gen or 4th Gen of iPods), I had an iSkin cover for it. Drop it several times accidentally, and luckily the iSkin with it's rubbery like skin saved it. Never had a problem. Except the battery running out (explained above). Other than that, everything's handy dandy. 
Ate Marj, just like na explain ko kay Cindika2 above, makita mo doon how much ang nalagay ko sa 16gb. So more or less hati ng yun ang malagay mo doon.
There are 2 choices mo sa iPod Video: iPod Classic or iPod Nano (both plays video).
Ang iPod Classic, may pinkamalaking storage space sa lahat ng iPods. And mas mura, if you calculate yung price and storage space against sa iba. Maliit lang ang screen but puedi na.
Ang iPod Nano naman, may mas maraning choices sa colors. Mas portable at hindi kasing bigat ng Classic. That's because it uses a RAM chip for storage so no moving parts hindi madaling masira unlike sa Classic which uses a Mini Hard Drive for storage. Which explains why it can offer more storage capacity (120gb) as oppose to Nano's (8gb or 16gb).
Here's a link to their Specifications:
http://www.apple.com/ipodnano/specs.html
http://www.apple.com/ipodclassic/specs.html
http://www.apple.com/ipodtouch/specs.html
And advantages lang ng iPod Touch is the bigger screen, touch screen, wifi connectivity and the cool factor. That's all.
But which ever you choose, consider buying a protective case and a glass guard for the screen. It's worth every penny.
The glass needs to be covered when you first unwrap your iPod or iPhone. The reason is to preserve the glass without a scratch.
And here's a trick, apply the glass guard on your gadget in the bathroom after showering in hot or warm water. The reason? The steam lets all the flying dust foreign particules around the room settles down the ground. Then there's less foreign objects landing on your screen when applying a protective glass cover.
Hehehe... i dunno how to explain it well. Bahala na.

Creating folders sa iTune? Nope. How they organized things in there is thru it's properties by way of "get info". Doon sa Video Tab, fill in mo na mga info. use the Season No., Episode No. & Episode ID. At sa Info. Tab meron naman doon na "part of compilation", lagyan mo ng check. Kung ayaw mo mag fill-in then sundin mo ang nasabi ko earlier, maglagay ka ng numbering system mo before sa bawat title. That way magkasunod sunod yung mga vids mo. Like: 01 Tutorial, 02 Tutorial, 03 Tutorial... etc. Kung etong system gamitin mo, I don't see why hindi ma organized ng iPod Touch in numerical order. I did that before on my 1st Gen Touch sa mga Foreign Musics na walang title 'coz iba ang characters ng title nila. And it worked out for me.
Doon mo lang sa Windows ma create yung folder at e segregate bawat vids before mo ipapadala sa iTune.
Yup! there are no memory slots of any kind.
That way, they want us to keep buying and changing their products. 
. Kase kung refurbished, wala na akong 2nd thoughts/problema kung dun ko kukunin.

Sorry Cindika2, for I got carried away... hehe. Okey, here we go.
How the OS runs in both iPods & iPhones is totally different from Windows. If your iPhone is almost full, you would experience a slight slow down but not in terms of what you had in Windows. You may not even notice it.
Buying from friends is fine as long as you're close. From an individual/almost a stranger is a tricky one. What I'm trying to get at is, as long as you can easily get intouch with them if situation arises in a given time then maybe you can take a chance. There should be an agreement up to how long the phone should work where he/she should help you out if something's not working. 30 or 60 days would be a fair deal. Inspect the phone thoroughly including taking out & putting back in the Sim card, take a photo, use the WiFi and etc.
Rob, transfering any kind of files are done thru iTune. It is the gateway to your iPods or iPhones.
Open iTune, and let it detect and sync with your iPhone. When done, you'll still see your phone on the left side. Click once on the phone's icon then on the above tabs, select Photos. Click on the box indicating sync photos and iTune will ask you to confirm it. Then it'll start syncing with all your photos and upload it to your phone. It will only see your My Pictures folder and nothing else. So dump everything you want on that folder if you want it to be on your iPhone.
Baka puedi ma rekomen kay Cindika2, pare.
