Q. I am thinking about jailbreaking my iPhone, but I tried to hack my PSP once and screwed it up (bricked it because I did a step wrong), so I am a little nervous. Is there any potential for something to go wrong and I break my phone? What am I able to do once I jailbreak it?
A. Advantages:
1) Allows you to install apps/games from other than AppStore (means, download paid apps free from torrents and install)
2) Allows you to customize your phone, (icons, theme, background etc)
3) Allows you to use iphone as storage device like the iPods.
Disadvantages:
1) Leaves your phone insecure. (any app can read/write/delete any part of the file system leaving it insecure)
2) Some paid apps check if the app is run on jailbroken devices and tend to delete some system files, making the device to corrupt. As a developer, am sure this is possible and many have even wrote code that deletes everything on the iphone leaving it unusable. (Learning this, I stopped jailbreaking my device.)
3) Device starts hanging a lot. (out of personal experience...)
