Should I get the iPhone 4?

**PredatorDuzWork** · 09-09-2010, 03:35 PM

Well, I'm thinking about buying an iPhone 4. By adding a new line, and buying for $200, since I'm still under contract with my primary line which had my now lost/stolen iPhone 3GS. Since 4.1 was released, it might have OS 4.1 or 4.0.2. I know their is no public release for the 4.1, but their has been news about their being one. Canceling my contract could be like $150 bucks as it said on the ATT website. Adding with new line would be $10 more dollars on the bill, plus $25 for the data plan pro.

Should I but the iPhone 4 with the new line?
When is the estimated release for the new 4.1 jailbreak?

4.1 public release of FW was YESTERDAY/
JB possibly in next week.
iPhone 4 is worth the purchase, just the sexy screen alone is reason.

I doubt the jailbreak will be released in a week. Probably going to take at Least a few weeks (maybe longer) to turn it from exploit to full fledged working jailbreak.

Evo4G is for Sprint, I have ATT. and iPhone is the best handheld device in the world, especially jailbroken, and even without a jailbreak.

I have to agree with that

**PredatorDuzWork** · 09-09-2010, 07:58 PM

So I should get it huh?

**drog92** · 09-09-2010, 09:30 PM

yeah i would.... it has a big RAM and the multitasking is good with quickly replying to messages if it is in the task bar.... and besides, there will be a jailbreak in the future, possibly the near future.... if you have the chance just get it, it is the best phone around in my opinion.... but i only have a 3g so it sucks

**i.Annie** · 09-09-2010, 10:08 PM

Get it

There will likely be a JB sometime within the next month or two. If not you can always sell it for loads of $$ and by another 3GS thats still jailbreakable.

Edit: or get another 4 thats jailbreakable from someone else after selling yours if for some odd reason 4.1 isnt able to be jailbroken (which I doubt).

i was shopping around this summer, thinking about an EVO or Incredible or something. but I had already bought all these apps for my 3G. and the Retina display's amazing. and the camera makes me cream my pants. it's my only point-and-shoot. now I carry my phone and a 35mm SLR. LOVE IT. BUY IT.

JB will be soon, considering the new news today

**ajl917** · 09-09-2010, 10:26 PM

Get it. It's much better than the 3GS and with a jailbreak coming soon, it'll be even better...

**rv7589** · 09-10-2010, 02:38 AM

hell yes get an iphone4 i just recently switched from a iphone 3g big preformance diffrence... i like the andriod phones but u cant compare the iphone.., it has a bigger comunnity than andriod and there is more apps and tweaks u can do to it.. the thing with the iphone is that the jailbreaking and updating os can be annoying other than that its an awesome phone... worth the buy ;-)

**PredatorDuzWork** · 09-10-2010, 06:38 AM

Thanks for the responses guys.

I just wanted some assurance about the jailbreakability of the iPhone 4 which probably comes with 4.1 firmware.

**iNT3Rv3NTiONZz** · 09-10-2010, 07:09 AM

Even with no jailbreak iphone4 is a defo. It doesn't feel anything like a 3G/s or any iTouch, the speed is truly something else, as for the screen, ***** beautiful! I'm not even going to jailbreak if it's tethered, the i4 feels so much better than my 3G even without!

Dude.....just do it!! Your life will then be complete.

**mj0528** · 09-10-2010, 12:50 PM

na, it's not worth a sh!t! i'm thinking about giving it away.

NOT!!!!!!

I can't keep my hands off the thing! It's sweet and even better with an untethered JB!

**OMG** · 09-10-2010, 11:01 PM

I'd wait for the internal antenna fix...Craiglist has many 3gs's on sale... be free don't lock yourself into another horrid 2 years of contract...

**Bluemoldycheeze88** · 09-11-2010, 01:01 AM

I'm in the same boat as you man expect, I don't have a contract or a phone atm. So I could get one but the no unlimited data is killing it hard. I'm also considering the EVO 4G I have been going back an forth now for about month and still can't decide.

**KartRacer** · 09-11-2010, 12:32 PM

Do it. Even unjailbroken I loved the iPhone 4 the second it came out of the box. Now that it's jailbroken it's the best piece of tech I've owned.

**gage006** · 09-11-2010, 12:35 PM

If you can afford the two lines, do it.

Also gives you the ability to upgrade every year instead of every other :P
