I have just got a hold of a Factory Unlocked Iphone 4, I have been doing some reading and still do not understand a lot.

I am a Android user by heart, but really did fancy a change. So I sold my S2 and got a iphone 4 (and a ipad 2)

So my question to you all is what is the advantage of jailbreaking my iphone, how easy is it to get it wrong.
Is it easy to get rid of it.
What can I do after its done

Thanks
 
Advantages of jailbreaking your iphone?

ALOT!

You can tweak your iPhone and download themes, free games, apps etc.

There's also a really handy app called BiteSMS if you're a big texter!
Jailbreaking is EXTREMELY easy. All you have to do is download jailbreaking program (redsn0w, absinthe, etc), plug in your iPhone and follow the instructions!

More apps.

It's pretty easy to jailbreak. If you don't like it, you can restore your phone to factory settings.
