    Does that mean you will be getting one when you are able to rock it on T-mobile?

    I didn't think it would take long.

    Yeah... prob not Jayden... don't have the means or money to obtain one right now

    And, I am not sure to what extent this jailbreaks the iPhone 3G. I do not know all of the details, such as unlocking for carriers or if it only unlocks the ability to load unofficial third party apps... or what. We will have to see, but I assume it unlocks it for carriers (such as TMo)

    Jailbreaking unlocks the phone and allows for "unofficial" third party apps that are not on the iTunes app store... (such as video camera ability and things of the sort...)

    This also unlocks the device and allows it to be used on other carriers... (just as you would unlock a Berry to use on some other carrier)

    Hope that clears up the "confuzzion"

    Unlocking = Well... Unlocking it for use on other carriers.

    Jailbreaking = Opening the phone to unofficial 3rd party apps. It also allows for installation of programs like SummerBoard to change your theme (icons and the wallpaper of your home screen(s) and Customizer which allows you to change system settings (unlock/lock sounds, task bar, SMS and Mail sounds, dialer skin, etc).

    Jailbreaking is great! I've been doing it on my iPod Touch since I've had it. It makes using it much more enjoyable. All of the apps in the AppStore can be found on the installer app on any jailbroken phone/ipod. Best part is, it's free!

    Go to youtube and search for jailbreak iphone. I guess you can also toss in 3g into the search, but I am not sure if it's out yet.

    I put too much money into it to void my warranty...so I avoid the jailbreaks. I like my pod the way it is anyway :-)

    How do you unlock it if you have to activate it in the store?

    I was pissed because I couldn't get a courrier to pick mine up because of in-store activation.

    I had to stand on line on i-Day.

    And for an interesting read on some of the capabilities available on a "Jailbroken" iPhone... check out this article : IPhone 2.0 Jailbreak: iPhone 2.0 Jailbreak Apps You Can't Find in the iTunes Store

    Everything from new skins, to apps, etc.

    Come on iPhone users... someone do this, because the iPhone Wallpaper Thread is lame right now and it needs some new skins and themes to spice it up!

    Don't bother unless you fully understand it. I haven't read much on it, but there was a time where depending on your "baseband" if you jailbroke it, apple would know. Right now, I haven't really looked into all that, but read everything before doing it.

    Maybe. I wouldn't jailbreak it though if it was only for themes. I would want a lot more if I were to potentially void my warrantee/have no more updates.

    I don't think Apple will ever let that happen. At least not until the 3rd generation iPhone.
