I just jailbroke my new iphone, first iphone. Simply said, it is worth it. Backgrounder is beautiful when running a map application like Xgps, don’t lose your route and progress when switching back to your music to change something. Love it. DO IT. Whats the worst that could happen, restore?

Jailbreaking isn't required nor is it in any way damaging to the iPhone. All it is is a way to get more out of the software with tweaks and back-end command code changes. If you don't like the jailbreak and/or the jailbreak procedures involved you can simply put it back in jail by restoring the iPhone to 3.0 or whatever OS you have on it.

I used a jailbroken 2.2 3G for a long time, but now am using 3.0 - Redsn0w broken!!! Beautifully perfect. The only gripe I have is that the keyboards through Cydia do not work yet. I'm sure one of those coders out there are cranking at this and will have a workaround soon.

I think as others have said, lock screen notification alone alone is worth jailbreaking for me. And intelliscreen is it. SB settings, especially to quickly turn off battery hogs. Categories, oh yeah, and a real wallpaper.

Slingplayer for iphone working on 3G was enough for me to jailbreak my iphone. Works great and I can watch fios tv anywhere.

Of course I will still jailbreak my iPhone. In fact I will wait until the Dev Team gets the jailbreak for iPhone OS 3.0 7A341 out before I upgrade. Hopefully they will have a Pawnage Tool for windows this time so I can create custom firmwares for it so I don’t have to rejailbreak my iPhone every time I have to restore it. Either way I will still use their jailbreak software. iPhone Dev Team is amazing. Thank you guys for all your hard work helping everyone else get the most out of their hardware.

Is it still possible to jailbreak the new 3.0 software with the same results as last time for the ipod touch?

I’m jailbreaking so I can pirate everyone’s software. I just wish I could steal a iPod or iPhone so I wouldn’t have to pay Apple either.

I’ll still JB for the following reasons: 1) Backgrounder – can’t live without this. 2) Siphon – to be able to VOIP over 3G, not just wifi 3) SBSetting – to efficiently toggles all the communication controls, hide icons, have numeric battery, putting date and memory on the top taskbar. 4) Springjump – Need to name each pages of the sprinboard, and to jump to anyone directly. 5) Winterboard and themes – to make the phone interesting all the time. Admittedly this can be dropped if the former four requirements could be incorporated into OS4.0.
