I am t-mobile custormer to when i got my iphone i took it out of the box and was “hacking” (as most ppl would say not in the iphone scence) from the start but what i didnt realize that along with unlocking my basband i was also opening up my phone to a world of options apple has yet to provid to there customers and as long as companys like apple coutinue to deny ppl the right to use there 500 $ toy the way they want to ppl will coutinue to “hack” i couldnt imagine having a locked up iphone, one of the first things i downloaded was an app called winterboard to make my springboard have a background bc i thought it was kinda dumb you couldnt have one but i do agree with will on this one “to each his own”

I’ll have to disagree with you 100%. Jailbreaking the iPhone opens up an entire catalogue (multiple catalogues, actually) of third-party applications that are incredibly useful. Navizon is great, for example (sure, Apple and Google rolled out My Location built into v1.1.3, but Navizon still has its utility).

Chat clients, dictionaries, native games, system tweaks…the list goes on and on. In fact, the biggest deterrent to fully adopting the third-party offerings may just be the shear number of applications available for the iPhone. I’ve only rarely had a third-party application crash my iPhone, by the way.

In the end, to each his own….

Surely, jailbreaking is gratifyingly subversive, but WHAT FOR if you are on an Apple-contracted carrier? After 1.1.1. I just shrugged: there wasn’t much use of the “third-party” apps — novelty perhaps, but no utility — and the otherwise gem-like iPhone was predictably unstable.
