Newbies worried about jailbreaking, have no fear - JB is heaven on earth

[MustangLife]

I'm a fairly new Iphone 3gs user. I've had my phone about 3 months now and was always worried about jailbreaking, possibilities of bricking the phone, warranty issues and complications.

I bit the bullet today and jailbreaked my 3.1.2 Iphone 3gs using BlackRain. This process was simple, quick, easy, and error free.

Counting reboot time maybe 5 minutes.

1. Downloaded latest version of ITunes (If not already updated)
2. rebooted computer
3. Downloaded BlackRain
4. rebooted computer
5. Clicked on blackrain download
6. Plugged in Iphone and the rest is history

I'm sure you don't have to reboot your computer like I did, but It gave me a since of security.

I've since downloaded Cydia and Rock (haven't used rock yet)
Winter Board (To be able to modify themes, etc)
Quickreply sms (Keeps you from exiting out of apps when you get a sms message
SBSettings (Allows you to hide icons and have a toggle at the top of screen for 3g, wi-fi, bluetooth, etc)

I'm happier than a pig in **** right now,

Thanks to everyone that motivated me to jailbreak.
