Just out of interest what do you guys see as the main advantages of jailbreaking the iPhone 4 ? Does the jailbreak offer you a lot more over what the apps store and iphone already offers ?
And if you think it is worthwhile, what are the packages you are looking for ?

I personally jailbreak because i like the idea of being able to customise my phone how i want it and not how crapple tell me i have to have it.
Dont get me wrong if you was to look at my phone you might come across a couple of apps that i have no idea how they got there.
. Its only now that crapple have started to listen to the jailbreak community. I.e background apps, thats been about on jb devices for ages, also folders has been as well.
As for the apps you can get through installous (which is a download tool for jb devices) 90% of them will make there way to appstore. Crapple have to approve every app before it gets to appstore. So you get to mess about with them before hand.
Its only since OS4 have you been able to do that little bit more without jailbreaking.

However now I felt that the os gave pretty much everything I needed (well apart from wifi synching) and so was interested to see exactly what were the 'must have' reasons to do it

Why jailbreak? Mainly as it's the first step to unlocking some of the phones. No JB, no unlock. For everyone except Spain and the US the iPhone 4 is locked to a specific carrier, everywhere else you can purchase an iPhone 4 (and in some places iPhone 3GS) unlocked, thus allowing use on any network. Handy if you have crap AT&T service in your area.
I will grant that the other main reason is to run cracked apps. I have in the past done this. Why? Well, take for example Navigon's GPS product. It's rather expensive and there isn't a trial version available, or wasn't when I first looked at it. If I want to try it against other SatNav apps I'd need to purchase all of them, and those I did not like I'd either take the hit, or try and get a refund, which I'm told is possible, but there are quite a few hoops to jump through to do it.
I wanted to try a full version of the app, so I downloaded a cracked version. Once I found it was rather good I deleted the cracked version and paid for the real version. The app store does now have in-app purchases, so they could put out a Lite version, perhaps all options, limited to 10 days use, and then you can pay via in-app to "unlock" it (if that's allowed by the app store rules, not totally sure if it is). The problem here is that Apple gets cut of the in-app purchase and companies might not want Apple getting money for doing very little.
If you do JB your phone, then please look at the Cydia info about using openSSH and changing the default passwords for the mobile and root users. Just asking for trouble if you don't

One of the reasons I JB'd my phone was to see if our apps are doing the correct thing when deleting content. It's one thing checking it on the simulator but another on a device. As the content is within the app's structure it's not something that is publicly accessible, and so a JB is the only way to get at it. It also allows me to do sneaky things to test our apps, for example, changing data in encryption keys and ensuring the application deals gracefully with this.

Found the answer!
http://www.iphone4forum.net/forum/ip...1438/#post9200
I used Rock App before finding this as opening that app asks if you want to change the root and mobile passwords. But the above link is the answer for getting terminal working although not done it yet, too late so will try it tomorrow.
Also this for backing up app data from a previous device and getting it onto your new one:

After you jailbroken, install Chronus from Cydia. Chronus can backup and restore almost all app settings, documents and game saves(for any App Store app and jailbroken app). I use Chronus many times everyday.
If you wanna to backup all Chronus backup file from iPhone to PC, just use WinSCP to copy this folder to PC:
/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/TimeCapsule
Then if you wanna to restore all Chronus backup file from PC to iPhone, just copy the TimeCapsule to /var/mobile/Library/Preferences/, and set the folder access right to mobile 755(MUST APPLY TO ALL THE FILES UNDER THE FOLDER)
You may say Chronus is a Time Machine for iPhone, or a memory cards for iPhone Game.

/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/TimeCapsule
