I did it. I wished I never did. And I rolled back to the original 2.1 firmware. This my story.

1. If you’re an iPhone developer, sooner or later you may wish to debug your application on a real device. With a jailbrokern iPhone, you just can’t (or at least I’ve never found a way to debug any application).
2. The phone becomes terribly slow. Even worse than Windows Mobile. I can’t wait 30+ seconds any time I want to send an SMS. Things become a bit faster if you remove SSH from Cydia.
3. The phone becomes terribly unstable. Never seen so many memory errors altogether.

Ok, there are at least three or more reasons for jailbreaking anyway: Cydia is wonderful and there are so many free applications which are worth a try.

One Response to “3 good reasons for NOT jailbreaking your iPhone 3G”

   My opinion:
   1. Non saprei, non ho ancora sviluppato niente di ufficiale per iPhone (e non ho nessuna voglia di impare ObjC!)

   2. Mah, dipende da cosa ci installi di non ufficiale. Cose come Winterboard e altri 4000 widget rallentano sicuro, ma nessuno ti obbliga a installarle… Non ho notato rallentamenti dovuti a SSH, cmq.

   3. Anche qua, dipende da cosa ci installi. Certe cose si portano dietro crash a go-go, ma anche qua, basta non installarle.

   Motivi per jailbreakare?
   1. Usare il telefono come modem (PDAnet o ZSRelay)
   2. Python
   3. MMS
   4. Winterboard
   5. Categories (ecco, questo rallenta l’uso del telefono – dato che i folder ci mettono un po’ ad aprirsi -, ma quando hai 5 pagine di icone inizi a sentirne la necessità…)
   6. Mooooolto altro…
