To Jailbreak or Not to Jailbreak...
That is the question....

I am afraid of my new iPhone 3g "bricking" on me and rendering it useless.

My friend recently jail broke his original iPhone and it is definately impressive lol

But is it worth voiding your warranty on teh new 3g models?

What is the point of jailbreaking it? I dont really understand what it allows you to do.

Just download anything with a name that appeals to you, if you dont like it delete it, or just look online.

No you will need to restore it to its original settings through itunes, and then take it to the apple store.

Trust me i was hesitent to as noted in the first post... but this thing is amazing!

I love it it opens the phone up to so many more capabilities.

Re: To Jailbreak or Not to Jailbreak...
yea, jailbreaking voids the warranty, but if it breaks you can restore it and your warranty is back like magic

Jailbreaking it allows you to add many more apps and it lets you modify your iphone without any troubles.
