Need Iphone Help

[the chi]

K peoples, who's got an Iphone and have you jailbroken it?

Need some input, greatly considering it, but wanted some firsthand knowledge before I do so!

I'm already on At&T, no worries bout a service switch, I'm just interested in the features available once you jailbreak it. Is it worth it?

i'm a tech tard...meaning I can make it thru the basics, but well, then I need helps!!

Jailbreaking an iphone=cracking into the systems that Apple limits you to so that they can control what you pay for and what your phone can do.

For Example, your basic iphone has a black background and each individual app you have on it (like folders on a desktop) are individual, no grouping. You also have no way to take video on an unbroken iphone. Nor can you customize ringtones for functions like texts, emails, etc., only calls.

Jailbreaking it allows you to change the background to whatever YOU want, to dd programs that allow video, to create folders for the same types of applications, and to use whatever tones you like for different things.

Plus lots more.

I know I can break it and restore to factory if needed, but I'd like some input from someone who has tried it.

So without this jailbreak you would have to pay to do all those things?

Actually without the jailbreak you cant even DO those things...not sure of the techy way to put it, but basically my understanding is its like a video game...capable of WAY more than you can do unless u have the cheat codes...

was doing the jalibreak as i was typing that...the iphone is a mini computer, but its potential is limited by apple...and by jailbreaking it, you are effectively opening it up to use more of its capabilities and potential...

just finished breaking it...i'll let ya know how it turns out...

Thats bullshit. Why limit anything? Put that sucker to full power from the factory. What a bunch of dicks.

She means "unlocked",without this procedure she won't be able to access much of this content at all... the original I-Phone has many hardware capabilities that Apple/ATT saw fit not to include in it's software for various reasons. Some of which were concerns over phone functionality but most were centered around the inherent limitations of the ATT infrastructure. With the phone unlocked,she will be able to access literally hundreds of 3rd party programs and applications.
