Very Simple...I don't WANT too and I don't NEED to.
Only individuals with EGO trips think like this or say that ALLLL those that don't jailbreak are "afraid". Why do you all think you are so much better, smarter then the normal everyday user that just wants to use things like they were designed. Let me open your eyes...YOU ARE NOT!!! You are just in your own little selfish world that no matter what is out there, you are not happy with and hack it. You probably hack your computer games to because you are not good enough to play un-hacked so you have to cheat. You probably cheat at work or cheat at school because you don't want to do it the way everyone else does. You probably even cheat on your wife/girlfriend. The majority do not live your life style so I think it you who is the "dumb ass"!
If you look down in the jail breaking section and the help section it seems to me that there are an awful lot of users that have problems with jail broken phones or can't re-flash to the original settings because they were so brave and smart...give me a break you looser, you aren't as great as you think you are!!!
WOW you are taking this WAY out of hand. Calm down before you hurt yourself. Why are you comparing jailbreaking to cheating in school or on a girlfriend? That was totally out of context and does not relate to this situation at ALL. Please think before you type so when decide to write an irrelevant nonsensical argument you will stop yourself. I was not trying to have an 'ego' by saying that jailbreaking is the way to go. All I was saying is that it isn't the big bad thing that it is put out to be. It's a great way to make full use of your iPhone that you paid good money for. And tell me, when did I EVER say I was so "great" and I was so "smart" because I jailbreak my phone. Stop putting words into my mouth. I never said that other people are afraid to jailbreak which is why they don't. I said that if you aren't STUPID that jailbreaking is easy and will not "break" your phone. I completely respect people's decisions not to jailbreak for their own reasons. I'm not trying to be this ultra strong advocate for jailbreaking saying it is the only way, just giving my opinion on the matter.
The reason for not jailbreaking my phone is simple and nobody ever mentions this:
Its wrong!
You buy a product and basically form a contract with Apple and AT&T. They hold up their end of the bargain by placing a warranty on your purchase. Your end is to not hack the phone.
I have alway asked myself why some people refuse to jailbreak their phones. Can some enlighten me?
I jailbroke my ipod touch before the app store existed. But when I got my 3G I looked and didn't see any software via cydia that made me want to. There's nothing there. Same reason why I don't drive to Canada, there's nothing there that I want...so why do it?
Now, if they had video recording software AND MMS capabilities then maybe. But other then that, I don't have a reason so.
I tried searching this forum and I couldn't really find anything. I tried Googling it and I found many different results. Can anybody recommend a particular site that has step by step directions. I am using an iBook G4 btw.

Winterboard hasn't seemed to slow down my iPhone 3G at allWirelessly posted (iPhone 3G (16GB, 2.1 PWNed): Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; U; CPU iPhone OS 2_1 like Mac OS X; en-us) AppleWebKit/525.18.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/3.1.1 Mobile/5F136 Safari/525.20)
The only reason I would jailbreak at this point in time is for Winterboard. Unfortunately Winterboard causes the phone to be even more sluggish than it is with vanilla firmware (ever compared an iPhone 3G to an iPod touch 2G, side by side? It's absolutely PATHETIC) ... So for now, I'm not jailbroken. Performance is more important to me than custom icons.![]()

I just don't care much for jailbreaking because I am satisfied with what this device is capable of doing already. The free applications I already have x out me needing any 3rd part apps. I also just don't have the time to just play with my phone to take time for jailbreaking and the process or even just dealing with any of the problems that it comes along with it sometimes
