    Unlocking/ Jailbreaking - iPhone 4

    Can someone lay out the Pros and Cons of Jailbreaking my iPhone 4. It's been rattling around in my head for days now and I can't decide whether I should or shouldn't JailBreak it.

    Have you JailBroke your phone? If so, was it worth it?

    Unlocking/ Jailbreaking - iPhone 4

    Here are the pros and cons:
    PROS:
    You can get mods and apps not allowed on the store
    You can gain more control over your phone with things like iTerminal
    You can make your phone cooler
    you can unlock a jailbreaked phone.
    CONS:
    If your phone breaks, and it's a broken screen or something, you have to remember to restore the phone before you take it to the apple store
    If your phone breaks, and it's something like a critical corrupt OS file, your screwed.

    Remember that while jailbreaking is legal, it voids your warranty

    I would recommend it, I've done... lots of time.

    BTW if Software OS gets fucked up(happened to me once)... and everything seems like death, leave it for a week or so until battery runs out, then perform DFU restore and everything is OK!

    Software won't ever be fucked up by a jailbreak... :D So the only possibility where you actually fuck your phone is damaging the hardware.

    The one con I can think of is that jailbreaking slows the phone down, but the pros outweigh that.
