unlocked and jailbroken on 1.1.1 and I can still do more than the 1.1.3!
unlocked and jailbroken on 1.1.1 and I can still do more than the 1.1.3!
I did the jailbreak thing back with 1.02... the phone got slower and less stable, and I've been "clean" since. I can wait for 3rd party apps... there's really nothing I need beyond what's currently on there, so the wait is no problem.
Apple purist.
I am running clean 1.1.3. I don't have any reason to jailbreak it, since most of the apps that can be installed are useless anyways... I'm holding out for the SDK to come out so I can have official Apple-approved apps.

Jailbroken 1.1.2.
Reasoning for me is that 1.1.3 is a superficial update and to me not worth the hassle and likelihood that I will have problems.
The primary reason for me being on 1.1.2 is that I write my own apps which increases the usefulness of the device greatly. For example, I am just completing an application that allows me to download files from EasyNews, complete with download queue and ability to pause and resume downloads. I'll be releasing this along with an app that allows you to do the same thing but with any website - simply enter the address and it will display links on that page you might want to leech. Clicking on each link will add it to the download queue and it does the rest for you. Perfect for me here at work as I can leech via a wifi hotspot nearby while in the office, and sure beats lugging in my laptop (with coworkers wondering why I am mucking around with that instead of my work PC).
Personally I feel sorry for those who just try other apps and dismiss jailbreaking as useless. Either they can't or won't code their own apps that are useful for themselves personally. Being able to do that beats any situation.

I am on 1.1.3.
Will the SDK move the version to 1.2 or 1.1.4 or just stay at 1.1.3? I'll jailbreak if the SDK is a dud and nothing really comes out of it.

1.1.3 for realsies...
After jail breaking my phone with earlier versions, I have realized that the unofficial 3rd party apps just weren't as stable as I would have hoped. My phone would freeze up or crash more than five times a day (I'm not exaggerating) and I was sick of having to deal with the bugs.
I have high hopes and expectations for next months SDK. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that Apple doesn't limit who has access to it, though I expect this to happen to some degree or another...

I posted re my girl's phone which is original OS and not updated because she runs OS 10.3.9 and iTunes 7.5. That combo is not even iPhone compatible. She activated her phone on my 10.4.11 computer with iTunes 7.5.
One wonders why Apple does not or can not make this wonderful device accessable to users of the one prior OS at the time of release.
One also wonders why a girl is so stubborn not to upgrade to 10.4, but that is another issue probably not in the technical arena.
Rocketman

thats because hacking your phone is a smaller segment of the users without a doubt.
Upgrade from 1.0.2
Can anyone provide a good source for me to update my jailbroken 1.0.2 software to the 1.1.3? Will it be painful and is there much risk of bricking?

Lol, yes I know your feeling. I am also considering 1.1.3 Jailbreak, but the Horror stories that have come up all aroudn Hackint0sh, Macrumors and ModMyiFone are enough to stop me from jailbreaking.
I am considering though clean 1.1.3 (I am not jb 1.1.1)
I love the whole jailbreaking thing. Did it on 1.1.1 but found that the performance started to get slower and every update became a cat and mouse chase. I think the SDK will make the apps I loved like To Do List, IM, available and better frankly. I guess we'll see. Love the idea of 3rd party apps but hate the idea that some could be malware down the road.
This is probably the longest I've been with a non jailbroken phone (v1.1.3). I have used that locate me function a few times now and found it useful beyond just "ohh look it found me." The navizon third party app sucked after the trial as it placed me like a 1/2 mile from my house. Having the web page directly on the homescreen is nice and I can move that itunes button all the way to the third page I never look at
I went for "None of the above", as 'running' implies that it works...
My WiFi stopped working the first time I ran anySIM, and having no WiFi access makes it damn hard to fix anything
Then iBrickr stopped working... I now have an overpriced iTouch with no WiFi and extra icons...

unlocked, jailbroke 1.1.3 here

I can guaranty that that URL will not brick his iPhone, unlike all the other solutions that are available today. They are full of issues.
Besides this close to the SDK it is not too smart to mess with the iPhone unless you don’t care what happens to it and you are made of money.
Exactly what value did you add to this thread by such lame attack?
Clean 1.1.3 here. I'm anxiously awaiting the SDK though. I'm really hoping for some WPA-Enterprise TLS support, but my friend at Apple doesn't think it is going to happen
I had a jailbroken 1.0.2 and enjoyed some of the apps. But with the multiple SMS recipients, maps with location, and the ability to have iPod controls by doubleclickign my home button, I had to upgrade. It's been SO much more useful for me with a clean 1.1.3 so far.
Now if there's a simple and proven way to get 1.1.3 with the upgraded baseband and the ability to load my own apps, I might be game again to jailbreak. But since the SDk is pretty much "around the corner", I may just wait.
