[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1353559"] I should mention in the interest of disclosure that I jailbroke and unlocked my original iPhone when I moved to Canada (I basically didn't have a choice, couldn't really justify a new phone and contract). The original iPhone only goes up to 3.1.3 however, and I rarely installed any non-official apps on it (I did add one to let the iPhone do "video" (heh) and one to enable A2DP stereo bluetooth -- both very useful!). The iPhone was out of warranty and unable to be upgraded further when I did this. Unlocking the iPhone has turned out to be a smart move, as I can use it when I travel in the US or here in Canada, but apart from this ability I would have had little interest. Still, I have to say that doing so extended the useful life of the device for me. Once I finish my contract next year I'll be able to have my carrier here in Canada unlock the iPhone for me (without a jailbreak) so I can use it in the states as well. Of course, I might have to get an iPhone 5 by then ... :) [/QUOTE]
