1) My main goal is to get rid of the requirement of using wifi to d/l files over 20MB in size. Will jail breaking fix that?

2) I assume it voids any warranty (or in my case insurance w/Verizon) but if I need to exchange my iPhone 4S, would it be easy to "un" jail break it if needed?

Thanks for the help!!

Not sure of the first one but I'm sure there a tweak for that.
Second yes all you have to do is restore as new phone and back to stock.

You can still have your iPhone serviced if there is an issue with it, simply restore it and take it in to Apple.

Yes you will want the app 3G Unrestrictor to be able to download over 20mb.,

Just curious about this... if i damage my iPhone screen and am not able to use the touch screen to do a hard reset so I can take it in to Apple, is there away to reset it by hooking up to the computer?

You can restore the whole iPhone system by using your computer, you don't necessarily have to do it on the iPhone. Doing it on the iPhone itself is just a bonus.
