Since a few people have asked me about this I rather put a little post up then repeat myself. For the record I have to state that this is all just for educational purposes. Doing any of the below is a violation of your license agreements with Apple that you agreed to almost by even looking at it for the first time.
Furthermore, I’m an Apple guy and cba to list Windows specifics. If you’re a M$ user, please find the info elsewhere. The only bit that is of potential relevance to you is the list of native apps.

Customization - The easy part first
A useful tool for customizing your iPhone is iNdependence which can be used for other things too of course.
It allows you to upload rintones and wallpapers (but the latter can also be easily done using any picture in your photo-gallery).

iPhone Native Apps:
Here’s a list of the apps that I continue to use and re-install after moving on to newer firmware versions. Of course it all starts with the Installer app which is conveniently installed for you by software such as ZiPhone or iJailbreak. Should you not have it on your phone and want to use it you can obtain it out of the software package of iJailbreak and put it on your iPhone using iNdependence.
