Yup just ordered an 8gb. Make sure you have a cc/debit card on file for wallet or it'll give you a technical issue message when checking out.Nexus 4 back in stock for U.S.
Wait, what? Is that a CDMA iPhone 4, maybe? I've never heard of a 4 without a SIM slot, so I'm curious.I upgraded now instead of waiting for the 5S to come out this summer mostly because I'm headed out of the country this spring and the 4 doesn't have a SIM slot.
For us tards that have never owned an apple device before... what are the benefits of jailbreaking? Can I brick my phone? What are the chances if so?
The largest "benefit" is the ability to add functionality to the device. Things like toggles for wifi/tethering/lock screen rotation/etc. File viewers, lockscreen enhancements, themes to the GUI, alternative apps to standard apple apps.For us tards that have never owned an apple device before... what are the benefits of jailbreaking?

Yeah, I can't even log into my Cydia account to download the full versions of iFile and TetherMe. Frustrating since I prefer use a smaller phone currently, but not having MMS since I can't alter my APN settings is a pain in the ass. I managed to get OpenSSH installed and can get into the System/Library/Carrier Bundles directory but I don't know which one Straight Talk uses since it's not listed under there and APNFree isn't downloading because their repo is hammered currently.As usual, Cydia is fucking useless on release day. If you've never jailbroken before, do yourself a favour and wait a week while shit calms down.
It is absolutely, 100% impossible to brick your iPhone with a jailbreak. The only thing that can possibly harm your phone is something that messes with the phone's baseband (like the somewhat shady unlock tools used to do, and these are no longer available). The worst you can do is require a restore to stock firmware.
Of course, if you decide to get some tool that overclocks your phone and you fry it in doing so... well, that's not exactly bricking. That's just stupidity.
I was trying to grab PkgBackup so I can try to restore the package loadout from my 4s to my 5, but that's absolutely not going to happen in this state. I'm gonna have to wait at least a few days while the hurricane passes. I can't even install a couple of packages at this point and it's frustrating to try.Yeah, I can't even log into my Cydia account to download the full versions of iFile and TetherMe.
