Yea i hear all this stuff... all this complications, but if you actually talk to someone who has done it, they make it really easy and drama free these days. I mean, illegal sure, but them not giving us MMS when they promised it should be illegal...
Oh yea, that was ATT not apple, sorry.
Jailbreaking is drama free. And if you need to take the iPhone in to Apple, you can restore it to stock via iTunes.
