Jailbreaking is the ultimate in configuring and tweeking. Buying an iPhone is a rational behaviour (assuming you don't care too much about your phone being all that great a phone). Buying an iPhone, knowing all the limitations and then jailbreaking it isn't rational behaviour when there are just as good alternative that don't require jailbreaking (I could see doing it for fun when the iPhone was new, but not now). If you can jailbreak an iPhone, then you shouldn't have any difficulty using Ovi or the Android store (or even sideloading apps that aren't in those stores) Scot - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.
