Damian Murphy said:You get access to the file system , you don't have to use itunes. You have access to loads of themes. Command line client, open ssh, apps that apple would'nt allow because it allowed you to do things for free that providers are charging for e.g. tethering for internet access. There are games emulators for snes .
If it does'nt work out all you have to do is update from itunes. the jailbreak is as simple as going to jailbreakme.com on your iphone's safari browser and following a couple of prompts.

cheese_dave said:So... from this I understand that the iPhone is rubbish and you have to hack it to make it any good? Interesting...
hunnymonster said:Nope - I was thinking about the "bad old days" of IBM PCs - when IBM switched away from ISA (industry standard architecture) to MCA (microchannel architecture) and at a stroke killed their own golden goose really... why buy an expensive PC that you have to buy expensive cards for when you can buy a compatible that's faster and has more plugin cards available for less?
