Non-Jailbreakers

[xultar]

May I ask why you've chosen not to do so? I'd love to know why.

 

[Tramain]

I always end up restoring when I jailbreak because I mess with the themes to much.

 

[sting7k]

Haven't been compelled too do it. Now that I know I've I know I'm keeping my 3G for another year and the warranty is up I might look into it. I'm also concerned about how it might run, hacked things don't normally run as well in my experience.

 

[Garz]

I have no issues the way it is now. Really have no need or desire to.

 

[The Entertainer]

i'm happy with my phone the way it is......

 

[cobra302]

i am murphys law incarnate, and i'm afraid of messing something up terribly! heck, i never even loaded a beta os on my bold!

 

[Shangraham]

I'm happy with my phone the way it is too. I guess I don't know any different. I've never jailbroken a phone so I don't know what I'm missing

 

[thinkTwice]

I just want the phone to work.

Jailbreak does not appeal to me because it reminds me of Symbian where I can from. No thanks.

 

[walkychalky]

Cuz having to re-jailbreak everytime Apple releases a new update is a *****!

 

[BuesinessTime]

I had mine jailbroken for a bit, but I had to restore several times and I just got sick of it.

After 3.0 I just have not found a very compelling reason to JB at this time. Sure JB allows you to do some things that would be cool,(ie Winterboard) but for what I need the iPhone to do.... It is just fine the way it is.

The only reason I would JB now would be to take Video shots. But with only a 2 meg camera...mehh. But that is just me.

Wow, thanks guys.

I come from a world of WM flashing. I used to hang out on XDA-Developers and flash my WM devices all the time. So, I guess it is something that I'm used to.

I've read, on this site particularly, about too many people that have had problems after jailbreaking. I am not willing to mess with a good thing. My phone is fast, smooth and just works! Why should I mess with that? Give me a good reason I should jailbreak. Themes? Naw, those don't matter to me. Background? Naw, I really haven't found a need,yet, for that. Any thing else?

 

[chobbs1]

Here's a few reasons Apple stands where it does on jailbreaking

Crashes & instability
Malfunctioning & safety
Invasion of privacy
Exposing children to age-inappropriate content
Viruses & malware*
Inability to update software
Cellular network impact*
Piracy of developers? applications*
Instability of developers? applications*
Increased support burden*
Developer relationships
The Apple/iPhone brand*
Limitation on ability to innovate

Got the previous list off of the 9 to 5 mac website

The phone just works.... Now what I would be interested in is unlocking the sim cardso when I travel outside the US I can use a local sim. That is even low on the list as I have 2 unlocked BB that can pull the travel phone needs. So basicly I dont have a need or want right now...

I don't think I will jailbreak my 3GS when I get it, kind of seems pointless with 3.0.
I mean sure you can't fully customize the layout and things like that, but other than that it shouldn't be that big of a deal.

 

[GSvarner]

I like my phone the way it is and I like the warranty.

I like my phone the way it is and I like the warranty.

But they can't tell it was jailbroken after a restore, isn't that correct?

I have a slingbox. I came from WM where I could use my sling on my AT&T Titan. When I got my iPhone and they nixed 3G slinging I was pissed. That is what caused me to jailbreak.

I don't do any of that theme stuff, I have one thing from Cydia and that is 3G Unrestrictor.

I'm a weekly traveler and I must have my sling. The airline industry is pretty messed up and I can't take delays without it.
