you can still update when you jailbreak you just have to wait for the new jailbreak software to be available for an untethered jailbreak of the updated OS.

still patiently waiting for the ups guy to drop my new one off as well....

Are you looking to jailbreak when it's available Thai?

Koz, please keep your (lack of) iPhone knowledge to yourself.

No jail breaking because I find the stock one just fine. I want the security of iOS vs jailbroken or Android. Remember, I am paranoid! :D

Negatives of iPhones:

1. Navigation...so far, i am not impress with the new navigation, at least on my 4S. But Apple is working hard on this according to reports.

2. Cannot remove certain Apple apps without jailbreaking, e.g. stock app, Newsstand app, and Passbook. But, i guess that this is still better than junk apps that carriers impose on other handsets.

3. I have to rely on my BT widget to turn on and off BT quickly. (The widget was an illegal app that i got before it was banned from the app store.)

4. I wish that you can do full screen in upright position, not just portrait mode.

5. I wish that there is a dedicated refresh button rather than having to scroll to the top to refresh...thus, reading forums would be easier since i can refresh anywhere on the page. (yes, i know about hitting the top bar to get to the top quickly.)

6. Lightning adaptor as noted by Koz et al. (But, at the same time, i know why it is necessary and not just a nickel & dime thing.)

Yup, i am still waiting for UPS guy to deliver my phone.

Jail breaking would fix all your complaints minus the maps.

mine gets here tomorrow also, but the wife decided she wanted one also, 4 days after pre-order release. Verizon said they were 3 weeks delayed, so I am going to the verizon store at 6:30 tomorrow to sit there for 1.5 hours lol. oh well, should be an experience. had one of the reps in the store offer to save one for me for 100 bucks... haha

I just got my Otterbox Defender yesterday (Thursday). Wow, Otterbox really knock it out this time...fabulous design improvement and the rubber around it is first class! The screen protector is also the crystal clear type i believe...won't know until i put the new iPhone in.

I got mine at around 10:30 from the FedEx man. I called Otterbox and they could not find my pre-order at 1st, but after a hold time, it suddenly was found. They said it will ship out today, 2nd day, which I paid for anyway.

I did not want to risk damage to the phone so i just went to my local Verizon store for a cheap case. There were 2 people in the store and a stack of iPhone behind them!

you can keep the security even after jailbreaking.. key is to change the user name an password of the OS so after market softwares can't access your file systems.. but I'll likely wait for the mfg's one year warranty to end before I hack into my new one. I'll have my 4 to play with still and i can use the proxy from the iphone 5 to get siri on my 4 for free :keyboard:

I am very cautious and paranoid...terrible combination for jailbreaking and Android! :D

I saw that after I posted, I've been running jailbroken since iOS 3.x.x and have never had any problems except for spring board crashing when I had dream boards installed on iOS 5.1.1 and minor glitches with certain substrates.

I always turn to the jailbreak forums when I am thinking about adding new tweaks to make sure they are reliable.

Also keep SSH off unless you are actively using it.
 
I've had almost every iphone and they've all at one point been jailbroken. I could live without it but I find it very very useful. Sure it voids the warranty, blah blah blah... You can always restore it. I've never had any significant problems.

Nice Koz! :) I have a pic to go along with my Android experience:

Well, after many finger nail chips later from prying open the battery cover to fix the above problem, i found the solution:

The iphone is now on its sixth generation of Apple’s mobile software and you still can’t drill down in the inbox view so it only displays unread emails. You also still can’t mark an email as read without opening it or navigate to the sent items without backing out to the main account list, scrolling down past the inboxes and navigating through the main folders. What kind of email app forgets the email address of people you have exchanged hundreds of emails with, just because none of those emails were in the last few sent or received.

WHAT A JOKE!

for 4s users and up the mail now has a VIP folder and a flagged email folder. you can add your favorite contacts to the VIP folder and the "important emails will have a star next to them instead of a regular dot. safari now alows bookmarking of webpages.. there are 200+ features added to the iphone 5 and 4s not just the ones unveiled at the release. just quit hatin on good **** man. Does it make calls.. yes does it have apps.. yes does it work fast.. yes. does it integrate to social networks.. yes.. does it do anything anyone with a smartphone would need to do.. YES. the biggest argument winner here is how much is your android or other smart phone device worth after you purchase it.. mines worth several hundred. I can get my iphone free or essentially get paid for buying it because i've owned and still have all the iphones since they first came out. if i were to sell my old phones I'd probably have enough for two new ones.. cant say that about a droid collection...

also if you knew how to work an iphone properly you would know you can mark multiple messages as read just by editing the inbox.. as well as move multiple emails to a new folder or a "saved messages folder" you can add and create new folders as well.
