    Why is everyone complaining like it's the end of the world! It's like a firmware upgrade. It takes time to crack the case.. Jailbreaking and unlocking doesn't come out instantly. There are always time periods and there's people doing hard work for free to help everyone. Be patient and don't forget to donate to the devs.. They are doing this for free.

    Apple is going the same route as the Sony PSP once did. Sony upgraded the hardware on the newer PSP to make it impossible to run custom firmware on it. Since that time, many people stopped buying PSP, or upgrading their PSP's because the only fun part of this console was gone...

    Same thing will happen to the Iphone, once it cannot be jailbreaked, lots of people will move on to something else. Why would anybody purchace a dull phone that cannot be customized beyond the ringtones..Bye bye Iphone

    LOL at the people who are all ZOMG apple you will fll if you do this zomg zomg zomg.

    JB or not the iphone will stay a cut above, it will be the phone to have for some time. Every time one comes out that seems to be better apple will just release something new for the iphone and be on top. Hell the ipod is still the standard of mp3s and the iphone will be as well.

    One thing i hate seeing is, people think Jailbreaking is illegal, its not. although it's still being decided by the courts, modifying hardware owned by you (without breaking FCC laws) is legal, but just unsupported by the manufacturer, its Apples decision to change the software, and it has the right to.

    There WILL be another exploit as there are limits to boot checks so people just be patient, and we all know how bad apple is at programming :)

    yep, i'm sorry apple but u can **** me signing any contracts with u in the future. jailbrakin makes the iphone better than other phones, but with it... its just an overly hyped product which doesn't cut it when compared wi other new smartphones

    iPod is only the "standard" because of Apple's advertising campaigns. It is a far inferior product to other, better, players out there. By saying they are the standard then you are one of the many that have succumbed to the power of advertisement, nothing more.

    The iPhone has always been touted as the toy of smartphones, nothing more. Blackberry has always been the business end, no fun at all. Android comes to the market trying to bridge the gap, but I think it's more toy than business still (full disclosure: I have an android). Apple/Jobs has a history of making bad business decisions after many great ones. These bad ones always make the company's market share drop. How do you think Gates got to where he did with Microsoft? Jobs is never willing to break away from his personal belief of what is pretty and right.

    Hasn't the iPhone been available since June???

    Though Apple Senior Vice President of Marketing Phil Schiller said during his keynote speech at the company's Worldwide Developers Conference that the phone will first be available in the U.S. and seven other countries on June 19, he didn't offer a specific time.

    THANK YOU. You guys signed your contracts. YOU paid for the phone. YOU pay extra every month to have the luxury of using the device you obviously wanted so badly that you switched to AT&T so you could have a cool new device. I guarantee 90% of you didn't know about jailbreaking when you bought the phone. So shut your mouths.

    Also, are any of YOU doing any work to try and stay ahead of "Crapple?" No, I bet not. So what are you losing? The 5 minutes it took you to use Blackra1n? You asshats make me sick.

    God for-fucking-bid you pay $5 for an application. Does the owner of a Ferrari complain about the price of upgrading and maintaining his luxury car? No, because he knows what he is getting and knows that he can afford the cost of upgrading and maintaining the vehicle. You have the Ferrari of telephones. If you're bitching about the price of upgrades, maybe you should have thought about it before you drained your bank account for a new cell contract.

    ok the iphone is grate and so if apple.
    you cant not say they are giving a lot of support and updates to your phone.....if they never made the iphone the phones of today would be a lot worse. because the iphone stared phones off to a new era!!!!
    apple shouldn't keep stopping the jailbreaks tho i do see why they wouldn't want jail-breaking to happen!!!
    what they need to do is find out why people jailbreak and update there firmware so that there would be no point in jail-breaking!!!!
    or join with cydia rather than fight it and make a contract with it!!!! simple!
    and dont worry there will be an untethered jailbreak coming soon....... :D

  • I have a new 3gs and i applaud apple for doing what theyre doing. Jailbreakers are dumb.Its a phone! Leave it alone.you cry that you cant jailbreak it and you also cry when something goes wrong because you jailbroke it. Stop being little girls Apple is a company. AT&T has a contract with apple to sell iphones NOT T MOBILE! If you want an iphone that bad.. be real and change to at&t,Pay for what ever apps you want so the creators can get paid for their work.Morons,morons,morons and more morons. Get a life, A job and stop playing with your phone like its your ****.I have jailbroken iphones and used them and personally the iphone performs a hell of alot better when left STOCK! Get a life, Get a job, have a nice day and quit crying like babies any moron can make jailbreaking software and jailbreak an iphone leave it alone or figure it out on your own

    well I love apple stuff ... Superior computers and phones etc. ...

    but what I do not understand is Why "FOR EXAMPLE" 4Gb of RAM for a laptop costs almost dubble the exact same RAM you can buy in a PC store???

    no one, no matter what, can convince me that there is anything different with the ones sold at the aplle stores and that the PC RAM won't perform the exact same....

    I have an iPhone 3G 3.1.3 ... Jailbroken but still carrier Locked.

    Today I bought a 3GS at chance ... got the new baseband .. but hey ... I can wait cuz I know that it won't take long until they crack it.

    Cheers
