    I was contemplating doing this to my iphone, anybody done it, know of anyone who's done it and their thoughts etc.

    It is pretty straight forward but would be interested in others thoughts on the matter.

    My best mates done it to his, but its been going a bit wonky recently, and he obviously now has no warranty, so if your gonna do it, make sure its for a good reason, otherwise I wouldn't bother mate.

    Yeh I was gonna then started reading a bit into it, it would appear that it's not all rosy when you do it.

    i JB my old 2G Iphone, thing gave up the ghost after a while and blew up so i would personally leave it to your own decision before doing it, certainly read more detail into it, but be careful

    I have 16gb 3gs and its been jailbroken for 6mnths with no probz, it makes the iphone what it should b, i would defo recommend it. Go on to youtube an search for D7, his page has all the info you need, really really helpful. And if you dont like it or want to take it to apple just plug it in an do full reset, job done.

    Hope this helps, Fraser.

    Yep, it's the best thing I've ever done. I used Blackra1n, no issues after 8 months or so. Once you've jailbroken it, Cydia offers you access to loads of apps that aren't on the appstore (they're all checked for compatibility), Springboard gives you loads of tweak options, and Installous offers you apps that are on the appstore, for less than the cost on the appstore (if you know what I mean...)
