About 2 weeks ago I signed up for my very own at&t contract and bought myself a white 3GS. Somehow I got lucky and it came with 3.1.2 so I was able to JB, even though its tethered, it's still awesome (I just have to keep my fingers crossed and pray that my iPhone doesn't decide to randomly crash or reboot while I'm at work or away from my MacBook - I usually restart it once a night before I go to bed, just so everything is fresh for the next day).
There are a few apps that I simply cannot live without like GV Mobile, and MyWi; I use them every day. I've been SUPER careful with installing 3rd party apps like bossprefs and winterboard, just because I don't want to risk getting the spinning wheel of death - because I know there's no going back.
It's like I constantly have my JB'd phone in the back of my mind and I appreciate it more than most iPhone users, because on my 3GS, its incredibly fragile. I got into the game at the point when it was too late to back up my blob on Cydia, Apple stopped signing 3.1.2 so even though I have 3.1.2, I only have 3.1.3 on Saurik's server. I live on the edge of JB with my phone, I love it, use the extra features every day, but the fact that I'm half locked down is frightening to me, and I'm sure the few others who are in the same boat as me are feeling the pressure too. If anything ever goes wrong, there is NO option to custom restore, it's like 3.1.3 is a giant ominous presence that is constantly lurking in the shadows.
I'm just trying to take it easy for the next few months; each day that goes by, the closer we get to 4.0 and the true jailbreak of the 3GS - set my phone free from it's handcuffs! Soon my love, we will truely be jailbroken!
