Go back to using my permanently exploited iPhone 4. 
Honestly, though, I'd really consider Android, if only because I have to be able to blacklist calls. My number was once a company one, and I still get spam calls even though that business has been gone five years now. That function alone is worth the hassle of jailbreaking. Everything else is just a bonus.

Continue to use an iPhone for sure! At begging when got my first iDevice i never heard talk about JB and i was happy with it! Sure JB is awesome for customize the iDevice but i would not die for not being able to use it.
Would probably return to Windows Phone, spend about two months with it, and cry myself at night for having chosen a platform that makes tons of sense but lacks developer support, jump onboard the android bandwagon, and eventually crawl back to iOS on my 3GS and curse the living daylights out of the jailbreak devs who left us for dead.
I would continue using iPhone. I didn't buy the iPhone because of jailbreak. I bought it because I like everything it offers, design, material, iOS and connectivity with all my Apple gear. I think anyone who buys an iPhone because of jailbreak is making a mistake from the get go. I choose my devices and tech based on what they can do, not because of what it might be able to do.
I could get used to not having my convenience type of jailbreak tweaks (ncsettings, zephyr, activator, etc)...
... but no gaming emulators (w/ bluetooth controller) for gaming on the go whenever I'm bored or stuck somewhere with 30 min to kill?
That'd be tough

I wouldn't have an iphone unless it could be jailbroken. I'm with tmobile, and there's no way I'm getting an iphone 5 until someone comes out with a jailbreak for it. I'm very excited for tmobile to finally have the iphone now.
You will be waiting a while, most likely until fall.
I will continue with my iPhone. The JB is nice and would miss many things but i am too invested in the apple ecosystem is

I bought the iPhone because it was a heckuva lot more dependable than the POS Blackberries and Androids that I had gone through. Plus, the amount of manufacturer and carrier-loaded bloatware made those phones next to useless.
Jailbreaking is icing on the cake.

I don't even use my jailbreak for anything besides a custom lockscreen and a tethering app, so I would stick with my iPhone.
gathering from that rumoured video that was posted of iOS 7, i would certainly switch if JB would no longer be available.
even all those alleged improvements coming in iOS dont come even close to what JB and installing just 10 of the most popular tweaks are capable of - themes notwithstanding.
so ironically, i will probably have "a more advanced" OS in my 4S running 6.1 JB than someone with a iPhone 6 (or 5S) running iOS 7.

Still use an iPhone because "if you don't have an iPhone you don't have an iPhone"

Did you by chance take your name from that awful movie... You know the really weird one that makes you wanna cry?
I would immediately switch to Android.
The only reason I bought an iPhone 5 yesterday because t-mobile's was still shipping with 6.1.2 and now I have 14 days to wait for the HTC One and try it out, with a jailbroken iPhone 5 as fallback

I would highly consider switching. Not sure if I would end the end, but I would definitely think about it.
This would not be for a while though. Even if the iOS 7 is not jailbreakable (is that a word?) then I would probably stick with my current Jailbroken iPhone 5 on iOS 6 until iOS 8 comes out. even then, if not a whole lot has been brought to the table I will still continue on my current phone or see what Google or Microsoft have to offer then.

I didn't feel this way about iOS in the past, but if my 4S wasn't jailbroken right now, I'd switch to android, probably a Nexus 4.
It was a book first...in fact, I've always thought it was a fairly good book.
