When you jailbreak your phone does all the original programs and apps stay the same? Will I have to restore all my apps? What about Siri? Will Siri be affected by the jailbreak?
 
Your phone will be the same as long as it restores from a backup. If not then you will have to resync your device. Siri should remain unaffected. You could have 2 devices side by side, one JB the other not, and you won't be able to tell the difference besides the Cydia app:p.
 
there is no Jailbreak for the 4S atthe moment so while you wait. Do some research you you will be 100 times better off. Stickies up top good read. Iclarified when there is a legit jailbreak they will have a tutorial.. youtube plenty of video's on the best that jailbreak has to offer.. :D cydia, jailbreak, themes best are good starts..

Cool thanks! What about all the cool themes? I saw the thread where people are posting their home screens. How do they get the themes? Do they create them or download them from a specific website? Sorry for the questions, I have never jailbroken any of my iPhones. I plan on jailbreaking my 4S when it comes out.

All Jailbraking does is give you Root access to the device, it won't change anything else, whatever you had before, you will have after. What you do once you are jailbroken is what could change your phone, Installs other apps, Themes, sounds, etc, etc.
