What unofficial Apps make this worth doing?

Other than the Nintendo emulator I haven’t seen anything.

The tutorial you linked was stolen from iClarified.com. It would be appreciated if you could reference the true source. You can find numerous jailbreak and unlock tutorials here: http://www.iclarified.com/tutorials/iphone/

what they don’t tell you is that Apple and ATT are behind this site. See they want you to jailbreak your phone because then when it is hosed and you take it in for service, your warranty is voided and they don’t have to replace it.

And ATT loves this because by their rules you can’t get the $200 incentive again so they make more money.

so jailbreak away.

personally I figure that all those functions will be legally added by Apple as they get the phone in working order so I”m fine with waiting. especially since it means that I can get my two defective phones replaced without issues (one dead pixel, one bad battery)

1) “There is also a list of the best “illegal” apps you can put on the phone.”

2) “as well as a reassuring method for hiding the fact you jailbroke your iPhone the next time you want to download Apple’s latest iPhone firmware.”

Can you provide links for these topics, please..?!

@ slevytam - thanks for the clarification..

@ Camperton - “makes this worth doing” is very subjective. To borrow a tagline: we report - you decide.

I hacked my original iPhone before there was an App Store. It did have some stability issues. I am curious…is a hacked phone stable? Also, can you still load Apps from the App store as well as non-app store apps?
