Is there the still the risk of bricking the iphone if your jailbreak it?
Also, what's the story if your phone goes tits up and you need to take it to the apple store?
If you need to take it back you just connect it to itunes and do a restore to the latest version of software and it is back to normal.
I have a 3gs jailbroken and also have insurance on it (£6 a month) so if the phone goes tits up or i 'lose' it i pay 25 and get a new one!, I've had mine jailbroken since I got it and had no problems at all, it updates all applications via itunes etc, runs as smoothly as it ever has, is a lot more customisable and apps are free!
If you've updated to 3.1.3 you'll need a mac to jail break and if your still on 3.1.2 you can do it via pc or mac with blackra1n takes about 15 seconds and easy to remove, just re-run it!
Will I lose any data? If you back up the iphone before restoring, will it stay jailbroken? Can you still sync your phone like normal?
I want to try jailbreaking mine, but I want to be able to put it back to normal with reletive ease.
Who is your insurance through?
If you backit up you should be fine and if you restore it will no longer be jailbroken as far as im aware.
with blackra1n im more than sure if you've jailbroken it you can re run the program to unjail break it, not 100% if the new version does though, although you can download the firmware/do a restore via itunes and it'll be back to original.
Premium insurance and I have one with o2, the premium insurance is £15 to claim but i'll be cancling that as it's 15 a month!
www.iphoneunlocking.com is the best place mate. pay via paypal or card 20quid. download the software, then in minutes your good to go :freddy:

I am not sure what the hype is about jail breaking iphones. I have two here one is normal and one is jailbroken. The normal one does everything I need it to do and runs more smoothly. The broken one cant have the software updated or it will be locked again and so it runs clunky and buggy.
Apps are like $1 - $2.99 they all come with demos to try before you buy so in my opinion its not worth it just to get those apps for free. Sure there are other things you can do with it but I dont need it for any of those things so Ill keep it locked
i cant understand it either? really dont see the point in turning my smooth running super fast iphone that does everything i need it to do into a shit ass slow windows PC type 'smartphone' cause that is effectively what it makes it. shit and buggy and unpredictable.
