I'm a newbie to the iPhone and am really confused by all this jailbreaking stuff. I know someone has probably already answered these questions but i have a few and I can't find clear answers to them all. I have iPhone 3g
So my first question is if I jailbreak I know i can restore and my warranty will not be voided but is there anyway Apple can tell that it has been jailbroken and restored?
2. I really don't care about all the themes and stuff I just want to be able to send MMS messages and forward and send bulk SMS messages. Is this possible if I jailbreak?
3. If I jailbreak only for the messaging and not for the themes and stuff will it slow my iPhone down??
4. What is Open SSH?? I don't know all these terms
5. I've read alot of posts about apps crashing and stuff...is this common??
6. What about bricking my iPhone?? I think that means it will not work at all anymore. Is this common??
7. And finally if i do decide to restore after jailbreaking will it erase all my apps or can i restore from iTunes backup?
Overall I'm just nervous about jailbreaking. I spent alot of money on my phone because I'm not new to AT&T and was not eligible for upgrade so I don't want to tear it up.
Thanks so much for any help you can give me
