I have an iPhone, and would like to take advantage of some of the benefits of jailbreaking, but am a little unsure...
So, maybe you could help me with a few questions?

1 can the phone be reset back to factory settings easily?
2 can I use the apps I alreadyhave from the appstore?
3 would apple really not service my phone if it were jailbroken?

Thanks for the time!

3 - Yes, but again, you can easily restore it before taking it in for servicing.

Jailbreaking is really easy and will not harm your phone in any way.

I took the plunge last night, and it was pretty easy. I'm still trying to Tether, but I'm sure I'll find an app for that soon.

Thanks, OilKiller!
