Don't know why but I've managed to go almost two years now without modding my iPhone 3GS.
Biggest issue is reliable sources/methods. Jailbreakme.com want me to roll back the firmware. Currently going to try redsn0w.
Does anyone else have a better/reliable method to do this?
What has everyone else used to jailbreak their apples.

I haven't, I've heard too many stories of poor battery life and sluggish performance with the jailbreak.

Not that interested in Jailbreaking my Apple devices. There is very little that I want to do that can only be done on a jailbroken phone. So I can live with that.

Yup, Apple. IIRC there is something that stops them running.

Looking at some of the forums for jailbreaking, they say that it doesnt pose a problem. I personally cant confirm this as my phone has not been released from the garden of delights. _________________Finally joined Flickr

Some apps such as eBay don't run correctly on jailbroken phones (it's the push notifications bit)
Most run fine.
I JB'd my 3GS but apart from a NES emulator I didn't use much else

I only want to run one app which is not available on the app store. That is only banned because is morally questionable. _________________Do concentrate, 007... "You are gifted.

iSnort. As close as to cocaine as I am ever likely to get to taking illegal drugs. _________________Do concentrate, 007... "You are gifted. Mine is bordering on seven seconds." https://www.dropbox.com/referrals/NTg5MzczNTkhttp://astore.amazon.co.uk/wwwx404couk-21

I have the 3g, cant say jailbraking did anything with the battery
it does get horribly sluggish however if you start messing with the springboard. I mean custom everything
currently, the only reason ive JB'd it is so that i can rotate the springboard and for the dvorak keyboard i use

Yeah it's done and it's crashed a few times. Mainly when I try to do too many things, though TBH it crashed a few times even before the jailbreak. Anyway I've got an iron man theme, which is uber cool as all of the main icons are custom.  And I'm considering paying for Lock Info which gives information on the screen when the keypad is locked:  _________________He fights for the users.
