Hello everyone!
I am a pretty new iPhone user (however, I absolutely love Apple products). I picked up a Verizon iPhone last Friday and will never go back to another smartphone.
Anyway, I've been seeing/reading a lot about jailbreaking my iPhone and I think I'd like to do it! On the flip side, I'm also really worried I'm going to royally screw up my iPhone (if you all only knew how attached to this thing I really am). Few quick questions for the board:
1) What are the real benefits of jailbreaking?
2) Are apps free? Do you pay for them? Is there an online catalog for Cynia apps? I guess having to pay a ton for apps might be a deal breaker.
3) I know JB is reversible, but is it an easy process?
4) A friend of mine JB her iPhone 3G and said it became very laggy, will my ViP4 become laggy as well?
5) I've seen conflicting reports on JB affecting battery life - does it? I have a charger for work, a car charger and 2 chargers at home, so it isn't really an issue but I'd still like to know!
I've also read the article on tiPb and it seems like JB is as easy as 1, 2, 3.
If the feedback I receive here is good, I might try and tackle the jail break tonight because I'll have a couple of free hours.
Thanks for your time and help!
