Why Do You Think iPhone Should be Jailbroken?  email this discussion to a friend?

sanau0716 (4)   ranked 28 out of 43 in apple 2 years ago

i am an iPhone 3G user and been fascinated by apple's mobile phone through its feature and the availability of the applications on iTunes where most of the products are for sale. for the first year of using my iphone, i really took pride telling it to my friends and its difference compared to other mobilephones such as NOKIA and SonyEricsson because there are few iPhone users in our country. but as i took pride of it, i felt that my iphone is very self-centered because i cannot change SIM, transfer pictures on other mobilephones via bluetooth. i was really pissed with the fact that i can't even receive the pictures i wanted from my friends except if i will sync via pc/mac. until i met an old friend who also own an iphone and he's using another SIM card and can transfer bluetooth file to mobile phones. i asked him how did it happen that he was able to do it and shared me about jailbreaking an iphone.

i asked him to help me jailbreak my iphone but he doesn't :(..this led me to an extensive googling (lol) and video surfing with the keyword "jailbreak iphone 3G". as i went to learn more about this jailbreak, i also understand the risk of jailbreak which might destroy my gadget. and it's where i can't decide whether i jailbreak my iphone or not.

should i jailbreak my iphone or not? WHY?

Totally do it! I have Jailbroken many iPhones, as well as Touches. I am going to recommend Jailbreaking with Blackra1n, but you'll have to downgrade. They do not have the latest update ready to be jailbroken.

I also would recommend backing up your iPhone, then wiping it before you go through the steps to jailbrake it. Starting fresh makes sure that any problems caused will only be via Jailbreaking, and not interference with the hack.

I've had a hacked Touch for a long time now and totally love it. I absolutely love the backgrounding app you can get via Rock.

http://blackra1n.com/ is what you need! :D

Have fun! You can always hit me up for any help with jailbreaking.

That's the problem of being to trendy, because that phone is "in" nowadays that is you just bought it without taking some investigation on how that will work out. That would be the reason why I didn't opted to buy such gadgets. Yes, its true that its "in" nowadays however the features are so limited and to risky. Well if you are going to do all the jailbreak thing, surely it will destroy your gadget. The question is are you willing to destroy your gadget and have all those features you would like to have?

Lesson learned, next time do some investigation before buying the trendy stuff nowadays. Don't be influenced with lots of advertisements and marketing stuff. Do your own investigation.

I would say unless you are going to use the stuff or need it (me? I do not like the idea of carrying around a book to read, a separate mp3 player,a large enough mp3 player that will hold a large audio book, a data planner, a separate camera, I am not that legible a writer, I am a visual person, and we have wireless wi fi, so an iphone is just right for me.) But I do have the iphone 3.5 and it does have the 4.0 upgrade in it - although I cannot video talk on it, but that does not bother me since I want to look my best when chatting over the iphone anyway.
For me it was "they finally invented something I could use!" because I was frustrated with those teenie little part touch key and keyboards on my old cellphone as well as other things. As for jailbreaking, if you need the stuff like I do, save your money and upgrade to the iphone 4. At least there you can get it brand new from the factory, and when you go on a trip, you can take out the old sim card and put in a new one.
But my opinion, it is a waste of money to buy something when you do not take advantage of it. The iphone like other smartphones must not be regarded as a toy.

well my brother had his iphone jailbroken but it didn't seem to cause him any problem... So i guess it's safe to say that go have it jailbroken by people who really do jailbreaking, maybe it can minimize any bad effect or anything... good luck!

Unless you are experienced don't do it. Besides the Iphone 4 will be available and all you need to do is to put in a sim card. You can get it at the Apple site.
If you cannot afford to jailbreak it yourself, go to someone who can and will not damage your phone, but beware as some of the applications may not work on it anymore.

If you want to maximize the use of a gadget that you purchased, by all means jailbreak your iPhone. Especially if your iPhone is out of warranty anyway, there's nothing that should stop you.

You should not let Apple stop you from full customer satisfaction of their products.

The iPhone 3G is definitely worth jailbreaking. I've jailbroken my iDevices about 10 times now, and it's only gone wrong once, and that was my first time because I wasn't using the right jailbreaking software. The iPhone 4 is not worth jailbreaking because it has most of the features you get from jailbreaking anyway.

You should jailbreak because you can do much much more with your iPhone when it's jailbroken. It's like upgrading your phone. When I first jailbroke, I was bragging to my friends and then my friends wanted to jailbreak too!
