There are tons of good reasons to jailbreak. And tons of reasons not. I’ll break it down for you here…

Reasons to Jailbreak:

You Can Use Carriers Other Than ATT – Notably, T-Mobile

Apple has awarded ATT exclusive and prohibitive rights to service the iPhone through 2012, when their contract will be up for renewal. ATT has been plagued by problems the last few years, which has made many people think twice about getting locked into a 2 year contract (or longer) with them. Jailbreak software can unlock your phone to give you access to other carriers. T-Mobile is the most willing to allow you to use iPhones on their network, and they have great coverage in many areas where ATT doesn’t.

Cool Jailbroken iPhone Apps

Apple’s legit App Store has many cool offerings, but jailbroken iPhones have a wide array of banned creative and quirky apps. Access to Cydia — the hub of “illegitimate” apps — is a huge motivation for jailbreaking your iPhone.

Jailbreaking is 100% Reversible

If you’re scared of the consequences of jailbreaking your iPhone — or simply don’t like the experience – it’s easily reversible. All that’s required to “un-jailbreak” a phone is restore iTunes.

Reasons Not to Jailbreak:

Bricking

As with any tampering of your iPhone, you run the risk of experiencing “bricking.” Bricking renders your phone unusable and requires a complete wipe and restore to make it functional again. Not a big deal given the quick fix, but it does serve as a deterrent.

Voiding Your Warranty

It is legal, as of 2010, to use jailbreak software on a phone (at least in the US). However, when you unlock it, your warranty is technically null and void. This means that if Apple finds out that you’ve jailbroken your phone, they are not obligated to fix it if it breaks or malfunctions unless you pay for it out of pocket. So if you drop your phone a lot, or your particular IOS seems buggy, you should consider carefully before you jailbreak.

Concerns Over Security

The website MacRumours has published a flaw that they’ve discovered in some recent jailbreaking processes that leaves a hole which hackers could exploit to plant malware onto phones. This exploit comes out of the IOS PDF app. They say “The remote website presents a PDF that has a specifically crafted font embedded, and it is the processing of the embedded font that has the security issue.” Something to think about, you know?

There is much speculation in regards to Samsung’s Transform phone. The smart phone rumor mills were humming with all sorts of notions and ideas of what it would have to offer. Well, the Transform was released to the public and took a lot of people by surprise.

The Samsung Transform is purely a CDMA phone, while the Samsung Galaxy S is the typical GSM phone. In terms of dimensions and weight, the Transform is a tab bit heavier and bulkier than the other Galaxy S phones. Both have Super AMOLED 4.0 inch screens with 16 million color definition. The Transform has a slide QWERTY key board plus touchscreen capabilities while the Galaxy S is fully touchscreen. The Transform lags in terms of data capabilities as it has no GPRS or EDGE which the Galaxy S phone offers. In terms of camera, OS, price and other features, both phones share multiple similarities.

The Transform weighs an extra 50 grams more than the Galaxy S. The Galaxy S has a TFT capacitive touchscreen with 256K colors with a paltry 2.8 inch screen compared to the far superior 4.0 Super AMOLED screen of the Transform. Touchscreen capabilities of the Galaxy S are also limited and lack the Swype text input and multi-touch input of the Transform. The internal memory of the Galaxy S is 170MB and has no RAM/ROM differentiation. A 2MP camera adorns the Galaxy S compared to the 5MP LED flash camera of the Transform. They both run Android OS, V2.1 clair with the Transform having a 1GHz clock speed to the 600MHz of the Galaxy S.

Worth noting as well is Sprint ID, which is an application only available for the Transform. Sprint ID allows the user to have the ability to personalize and customize their phone and user interface.

There are a number of features and enhancements that the Samsung Transform lacks, such as battery life and connectivity. These can be solved by using one of the many accessories available online. If you are constantly on the phone, the battery will drain rather quickly. To rectify the problem you can purchase an extended battery. These batteries have a higher mAh output than the standard battery, making them last longer. Over all, the Samsung Transform is a feature-packed phone and it’s definitely worth looking into for anyone that’s in the market for a reliable smart phone.
