I don't know about any one else, but jailbreaking was a requirement for a fully-functional iPhone, at least for me. I used jailbreaking for: multitasking ala Palm Pre using multifl0w, scripting in Ruby and Python incl GUI, ability for me to setup an SSH tunnel so that I can get to my phone even when the phone is only EDGE/3G, being able to transfer files to/from my phone via SSH, ability to transfer music to my phone without using iTunes, manipulation of my SMS database, theming, and increased usability with tools like SBSettings, GRiP and many others.

Been forced out of a jailbreak on my iPhone in the last 6 months (one hardware failure and phone replacement, one software screw-up) this is great news... Except, I just bought a Nexus One. A week ago I had to be issued a replacement iPhone 3GS from Apple- with the new bootrom and 3.1.3 things weren't looking good.

Still have both, still in the process of trying to decide which to keep- do I want semi-freedom and a less useful phone or a locked down but very functional communication appliance? Getting sick of riding the jailbreak/jailed roller-coaster!
