Should I Hack My iPhone Now or Wait?

September 9th, 2007 by Mike

I’ve been living the dream with my iPhone for a few days now.  I’ve played with it enough that I have my initial reactions:
1. As I said previously, I want to finger bang Visual Voicemail.  Its awesome.
2. I know there is the “guesses” it does when you are typing, but I wish it still had spell check.
3. Having a plan with 200 text messages a month is great and having software that displays them like they should be (in conversations) is even better.
4. The ringer switch?  Awesome for meetings and movies.
5. I wish I could add/remove the widgets.  I don’t give a crap about stocks.

There a few are more, but no one likes a list that has a total number that isn’t divisible by 5 so I’ll stop there.  The question I have now is to hack or not to hack.  I’ve had a few stability issues with it already, so adding anything that, according to Apple, shouldn’t be there worries be a bit on the stabilization front, but other than that, I really would love to have IM and a NES emulator.

Has anyone else out there hacked theirs?  Is it so awesome your boner hasn’t gone down yet or it is slightly less than that?

    i hacked.
    i was crazy nervous about it, but it's been completely smooth so far.
    good points about the updates and waiting, but realistically, if you hacked before then, you can just wait a day or two after the firmware updates until new 3rd party upgrades are released that address any issues that might arise with 3rd party stuff. if they arise at all.

    but the most important thing is, no, my boner hasn't gone down yet.
  • Ok, I'm deciding to wait. You sold me. Thats a good point with the update coming later this month for the wifi store, and like you said, hopefully more. Not only that, but this update will be telling on how it impacts the current hacked phone telling the world how Apple feels about the iPhone hackers.

    I'm with you on the IM functionality. That was probably my top motivation for the hacking thoughts. The web ones are fine, but they don't have the polish or speed of a native app. Here's hoping for Mobile iChat!

    I hacked mine and then the first software update came out and I had a hell of a time having to restore the whole damn thing...I'd wait since apple is due to release an update soon that will probably add more than just the wifi music store...I'm still holding out for I'm :(
