Question from Jamie:  My mom recently bought me my first iPhone. It took me a while to get used to it but now that I have, I really like it.

My question is should I jailbreak it?

I don’t really understand what it means to jailbreak a phone but my brother says I need to do it because it’ll let me install apps that a normal iPhone can’t run.

He said he would do it for me when he comes home on leave (he’s in the Army) but I thought I might be able to do it myself so I searched the Internet for instructions.

While I was looking for instructions I found several articles saying it’s a bad idea to jailbreak a phone.

What’s your opinion about that? Should do it or not?
