No, I?m not willing to give up AppleCare support, but I willing take the nearly non-existant risk that I?ll have to give my phone to Apple for repair without being able to restore the OS.
Unexpected, eh? It's always simple with Apple products. Everything is always just simple as that.
You're taking that risk for nothing. You're stealing Apple's intellectual property for nothing. For absolutely nothing.
Please don't paint all jailbreakers as pirates. I use a jailbroken device but I don't pirate any apps. I buy my apps from the Apple App Store and I use free and paid apps from Cydia.
I'm in the same boat. I jailbroke so I could have apps that let me answer an SMS without leaving the app I'm currently in. I am able to customize the look and feel of my springboard, and I can change the damn SMS tones now. I have adblock as well, which is huge on the slow and laggy cell phone data network. I also have my phone auto-silent at night. There's a lot of interface improvements that you can only get with a jailbreak. I have bought a ton of iTunes apps (including tomtom), and I've bought a bunch of apps from cydia. I have zero pirated apps.
Jailbreak is about control for me, not stealing apps. Hopefully OS4.0 will fix all the things that I fixed via a jailbreak, but I doubt it.
I thought he had to be joking as well. I couldn't stand using my phone without some of the jailbroken options for SMS. If I really had to close the app being used and open the messaging app every time I had an SMS come in, I would have thrown the phone out the window. I also love being able to run Pandora in the background using Music Controls. I was using Cycorder but now that Apple has allowed App Store equivalents, I have purchased two to replace it. (Qik Video and iVideocamera)
The other reality is that I run my iPhone on Tmobile. I'll wait on the next announcement to decide whether to bring the family over to AT&T and go with them. Verizon has made it a lot easier to ponder with their strange mandatory data plans for feature phones and their elimination of Connect and Select plans. In the meantime though Jailbreaking allows me to have 1000 minutes and unlimited text and data for $65.
I don't steal any apps and the claims by some here that someone would steal a $.99 app and then spend $10 in game makes no sense. It is divorced from reality and shows that jailbreaking doesn't equal pirating.

Now you aren?t even responding to the post you are quoting. I have no idea what you are on about, especially with stealing Apple?s IP and what the term ?nothing? means when several posters have pointed out uses, almost all legal, for jailbreaking an device.
I've seen some pretty cool things on a jailbroken iphone, there definitely is an appeal. I still won't jailbreak mine, even if it's just a soft break which I can revert without an affect to my Apple Care... my boss has tried to convince to jailbreak it but I just won't, I like official stuff only.
Now you aren’t even responding to the post you are quoting. I have no idea what you are on about, especially with stealing Apple’s IP and what the term ‘nothing’ means when several posters have pointed out uses, almost all legal, for jailbreaking an device.
You want response to WTF?
Here's the response: jailbreaking is illegal and means stealing Apple's IP. It's now the extreme utmost stupidity, too.
The $450 million claim for loss to piracy was debunked almost as soon as it was made.I'm sure there's piracy but the numbers quoted by those "analysts" had no more substance than smoke.
Please don't keep repeating these worn-out piracy claims unless the claimants provide more evidence for their numbers

What IP was stolen? What is illegal about devs creating software for a jailbroken iPhone? (obviously these questions are rhetorical and your only response will be that it leads to stealing App Store apps, but by that logic creating the App Store app leads to it being stolen)
Frankly, it's amazing like everything, which Apple does. Apple's eliminated absolutely all reasons to jailbreak. Under present conditions jailbreaking is clear sign of being rationally inept. And thieves jailbreak nevertheless! Unbelievable.
When you get expose like window viewing, multi page docks, the option to change the grids for icons, a drop down settings toggle, themeing, widgets, and cover flow contacts, then you will have a valid argument. I've been Jailbreaking since Firmware 1.2 and have never once pirated an app.

They don't pass Apple's approval. So, they willingly harm Apple products.

I've jailbroken my own phone solely for the SBSettings. I can swipe across the menu bar and have access to turn on and off wireless, 3g. It's stupid to have to go into three levels of menu to turn off wireless and the applications that I use (Runkeeper, in particular) suggest doing so before using location logging. If Apple offered this kind of functionality then I there would be no reason to jailbreak for my own circumstances.
However, I don't see the same people frothing about hackintoshes complaining about jailbreaking. Both violate the EULA, do they not?

Jailbreaking enables pirates!
what about tethering?

Thieves from Ubuntu land! You do not know the functionality of Apple products. You can not use Apple products.

You're a thief. Period.
App Store is stuffed full with apps presenting contacts in cover flows and in 3D. And ubuntists are still mumbling about their Cydia crap.

At the risk of getting a warning from the Mods for a personal attack? You?re a fraking idiot.

I'm assuming the most jail broken and pirated apps occur in China, where street vendors compete with each other who has the most to offer.
A 20lb bag of rice that can make 1000 meals sells for $10 in the U.S. (less in China), works out to be about 1¢ a meal.
99¢ = 99 meals in China. Meat and veggies are a compliment to rice, perhaps only eaten once per day.
So to a average American, 99¢ might not mean too much.
They do tend to save up to get a jail broken iPhone, so they can get online and talk free over wifi.
If you can't afford payed application, simply do not buy iPhone
