Of course "there are to risks to jailbreaking" and apple uses this phrase as a scare tactic to prevent people from doing so, but the risks are ALMOST non-existent these days coz the iphone dev team has been doing it for a while now. I have personally jailbroken 4 devices (ipod 1g. iphone 2g, iphone 3g x2), and have done so multple times coz of updates to software/ firmware without any probs. The only downside is it slows the phone down slighty (if you run winterboard etc). The battery was not affected in a way that was noticeable but that depends on what you choose to install/run. The upside can be found at (http://modmyi.com/cydia/search.php), keep in mind not all the repositories are present here, so certain packages might not be present also. I only posted this comment because buying the iphone was like a kick in the teeth that leaves a very sour taste in your mouth and jailbreaking helps ease the pain (if only a little).</p> @ Amon Jailbreaking does not invalidate warranty coz you restore original software (ipsw) b4 you take it back to them (apple).

PNS for GPS would be a waste IMO.

For the time being though am not too unhappy with my iphone, not sure to be able to hold it that way. Some of these newer phones are tempting to say the least.

I would rather live with a not too fancy UI than not having some of the required functionalities.

I am worried I cant get any decent functionalities out of iphone without a jailbreak which immediately invalidates any warranty/ support from my service provider :( Disclaimer: This is a purely personal point of view, I know many iphone owners are very very happy, I dont hold anything against them :)

Let's say you talk to a friend on a IM app and want to send him/her a cool link you got on twiterrific, you exit the IM application, enter twiterrific, copy, exit tiwtterific, enter IM app, paste it to your buddy. In all this time, as far as your friend is concerned, you never signed out from IM. In this case switching between running processes would have the same end result, just that it would use more processes.</p> <p>The same workflow could be applied to other apps, say mail and Safari to search for a piece of text from the email.</p> @Amon With push available copy-paste from one app to the other would be no problem.

If read something nice i like to ping it to my friends, i miss that after "upgrading" to iphone (it is an internet device!). For me and hoping many others, multiple apps ~ IM! Things i love to do on my phone: talk,sms, music, browse, IM. It would be great it if i xould do all simultaneously without having to exit any of the apps completely!</p> @Manuel:
