I love the iPhone, but I hate how apple and ATT have it on lockdown, and I hate the no MMS and no landscape keyboard (until now). If it wasn't for jailbreaking I would use my Touch Pro full time. I love the console emulators, definitely cycorder (who needs 3GS), SbS is a must, and the FPS's like Wolfenstein and Quake.

What theme is that in the wiki page?

Jailbrakin` is a must if you own an iPhone or iPod touch such good features apps and games.. I am so happy with it!!!

I really loved the extra functionality when I had my 3G jailbroken. SBSettings was great, and being able to send an SMS from any app using biteSMS was really handy. The only thing was that I really noticed a slowdown in speed having those couple background apps running, so I upgraded to the 3GS. Can't wait until the Dev Team releases the jailbreak!

I love the jailbreak and the apps that can run at the same level as Apple apps, but I scream for lack of RAM. Even with minimal use I have maybe 40MB of RAM and while playing any kind of demanding game, it starts to stutter. Thankfully I have the option to look at running proccesses and kill any that I don't need, but it makes me want to just go buy a 3GS just so I won't have to hassle it with it.

I just jailbroke my 3g and its fun again. It makes Apple seem so greedy, trying to withhold many of the capabilities of the device. Has anyone played with psx4iphone. I got Final Fantasy Tactics to run, but it is just a bit too slow. Someone mentioned setting the cycle to 2.5. I know how to change the cycle but I don't know where the number is displayed so I can tell what it is set at. Also check this out http://www.icontrolpad.com/, I can't wait for full screen and real controls. Jailbreak Rocks!

I've got to agree. I have a jailbroken iPod Touch (second-gen) that I've yet to upgrade to 3.0 just because of all the jailbroken functionality. I think that the most useful app I have is imobilecinema, which is a Safari extension that allows you to watch Flash-based video from many different websites, including MegaVideo, MySpace Video, and others.
Has anyone tried jailbreaking 3.0? I've heard that it's possible, but would like a set of instructions to follow before I take the plunge.

I have held off buying an iPhone but I am going to take the plunge in a couple of weeks. I really want to unlock it. My Blackberry is unlocked and I have SIM cards for different countries. I really can't afford to pay roaming charges, they are outrageous and this is a way to do this. Unlocking the Blackberry was very simple and it was permanent.

Since there appear to be many jailbreak experts in this thread, I thought I would tap into your expertise to ask some questions:

-to SIM unlock the iPhone, do I have to jailbreak it?
-Will OS upgrades re-lock the iPhone?
-are there any downsides to jailbreaking / unlocking? Do you loose any functionality?

Thanks

I personally can't go unjailbroken for very long. I love customising the device, I like putting my own touch to the device without being controlled to the looks of the interface as Apple has.

What app do you use to kill processes?

I haven't tried Backgrounder yet but I'll take your word for it. I'm gonna try to install it on my Jailbroken 3G. Jailbreaking, like the word itself, breaks you away from the closed platform of Apple. Really love the freedom Jailbreaking has given me. If the Apple iPhone has all the features I want in it, I won't be neding to jailbreak it.
