I'm looking at all of these Jailbroken phones and I have personalization envy. I have never Jailbroken a Device and I am absolutely scared that I will end up with a bricked phone what is the easiest way to jailbreak or should I try with my iPad first!

I was the same way. In all honesty, there is no reason to worry about bricking your iPhone if it is done right. While not always problem free, there is usually a fix for whatever comes up. Here are 2 great Jailbreaking guides to help get you started.

i too was never afraid to jailbreak but if the DMCA jailbreak exemption does indeed expire, who knows what extent Apple will go to discourage it

are we treading in shark infested waters? only time will tell..

I just did mine and this is my only iPhone I have ever owned, it was quick and easy. Glad I did it....

I've never heard anyone bricking their phone from jailbreaking. With windows its simple as 1 click and your done to jailbreak.

I have heard. It's fixable as long as people can use "google"

Not really possible to brick the phone, except if you start playing around with some internal files/blobs. As just a user, you won't do any harm to the phone.

If you're using a 4s use absinthe

Untethered A5 jailbreak - Absinthe | greenpois0n.com

its really really easy...

Look for a youtube tutorial if you're that scared... but honestly i have been doing this since the iPhone 2g... and i have never... ever... ever bricked a phone.

It just doesn't happen with users.

Bootloops yes... but bricks... no lol... just do it... if you don't like it... DFU restore and set up as a new phone

Greenpois0n is the easiest JB that I know of. Only took me less than 10 minutes. Choose the computer that you'll be using to JB your iPhone, download Greenpois0n, connect your iPhone and select "Jailbreak", follow the instructions from there. http://greenpois0n.com/
