Do you jailbreak

Not at the current point, but I consider doing it so that I can install iBlacklist (damn telemarketers)
Same here, although I do like seeing what kind of stuff the jailbreaking community can create.
For everyone who uses notification center, lockscreen notifications, multitasking, tethering, camera on lockscreen, volume button to snap photos, etc, etc..
Jailbreakers have been using these features long before they were available in apples iOS.
Just because certain features are now "stock" doesn't mean they weren't useful because they were only available through jailbreaking before.
There's still plenty of useful jailbreaking tweaks available that haven't been mentioned. You may be content and just listen to whatever apple says, but jailbreaking does make the experience a lot more enjoyable.

I can do all of that without SBSettings. There's a Settings icon on my home screen and a hardware home button which I can double click to see and clear my recent apps.
----------
My phone does what I need it to do without a jailbreak. I'm not interested in theming stuff (I get sick from looking at the elaborate themes that people take so much time to put together and perfect). I also don't like adding stuff which doesn't look like it fits in with everything Apple has done.
Per TMobile, I need to JB my unlocked iPhone 4 & the wife's 3GS (5.1.1) to receive pictures via text.

Important: This fix only applies to unauthorized unlocks (Jailbreaking). Only use this solution if the customer has already unlocked their iPhone and installed the Cydia application on their own.
*
Add a new source and package to the Cydia application on the iPhone, by following these steps:
*
Open the Cydia application then select the Manage Tab at the bottom of the screen.
From the Manage Tab select Sources.
Select Edit at the top right hand corner then select Add in the top left corner.
Type the one of the following into the prompt:
http://beta.leimobile.com/repo
http://cydia.pushfix.info
Select Add Source.
This will add the new source to your list of Sources.
Tap the the source you added in step 4 then scroll and select the T-Mobile US MMS fix, T-Mobile MMS Fix or T-Mobile Internet Fix.
Select Install in the top right hand corner.
Then select Confirm in the top right corner.
Once it is done installing reboot the phone.
Important: If the device is using a tethered unlock, it must be reconnected to the computer it was unlock from. T-Mobile CANNOT offer support for unlocking an iPhone.
After the phone powers back on, from the main screen go to Settings, General, Network, Cellular Data Network.
Enter epc.tmobile.com into the APN field under MMS. The rest of the information for the MMSC, MMS Proxy, MMS Max Message Size, and MMS UA Prof URL should already be entered by the package we installed earlier.
At this point MMS should be functioning correctly on this iPhone. Test it by sending an mms to the phone from a test device.
This should only have to be installed the one time to fix this issue. There will be no need to continue to install this package again.

I did but when back to stock... I just don't need the jailbreak. I love the way it looks and works.
I did when it was required for video recording, SMS, multitasking, and lock screen info, but now I don't have a need for it. The zero lag and 30+ hours gain in battery life was pretty nice as well.
My phone is jailbroken and besides some "visual" stuff that I changed (the dock) you can't tell that my phone is jailbroken till you start using it. Then when they start using it and see how many more options their are and how natural it fits in everyone is like "alright, I'm sold what do I need to do!?"
Now that their is a untethered jailbreak I tell people that they should jailbreak. Before I never did because I really didn't want to be bothered to have to have to boot someones phone up tethered.

I jailbreak, but I think I can live without a jailbreak. But I know I'll miss Zephyr since I am used to gesturing with my iPad... and don't have to worry about wearing out the home button. Also, I love Gridlock to move icons where I want them so I can actually see my home screen. Another tweak I would miss is infinidock. I like to add more than 4 apps that I use a lot in the dock... and have the ability to page swipe the dock. Some unnecessary tweaks I like is Barrel... to give variety of how the icons move when I swipe through pages, and my kids love to play with the floating icons with Graviboard. Thinking about it... I take back that I can live without a jailbreak. Until I can do these things... especially gesturing with Zephyr... I'll keep jailbreaking. I don't add a lot of tweaks or themes when I jailbreak, but I know I'll miss the tweaks I do use.
I used to, and enjoyed it.
Then beginning with Android 2.2 and the advent of the 4.3" display, there was no longer a reason to put the time into a phone with a tiny 3.5" display.
Now that I have the One X, while waiting for my 4.8" SGS III to arrive, I'm content using my stock 4S as my secondary phone.
If Apple were to get serious and offer at least a 4.3" in what is a popular aspect ratio, and not a "stretched narrow" display, then I'd be all in.
As "Innovative" as Apple has proven they can be, they can also be stubborn & highly resistant to change. That's not a crticism, just a fact of life.
As much as I'm enamored with "most" of their products, I enjoy choices and use any and all platforms that appeal to me. Thus the only point is, my satisfaction has nothing to do with what Apple creates, or fails to create.
One things assured, if Apple won't make it, a competitor will.
Viva le difference

Yes as I choose to have my iPhone work as I want and not how apple wants to dictate.
I originally jb to use Siri on my iPhone 4 because Apple said No ,with no valid reason.
Now I use a few tweaks of choice but nothing heavy , nor do I use themes often.

Apple says you shouldn't do it so I don't. If I want to customize that is what my Android phone is for although I generally run that fairly stock as well.
