Default Jailbreak the iPhone 4 ?

Who's jailbroken the iPhone 4, how did you do it and has it Been ok and not damaged the phone?

I'm after an app to be able to transfer music and video from any phone to the iphone4, the only one I've found is ibluetooth which requires you to jabreak it, any info appreciated

Limera1n is your friend.

http://limera1n.com/limera1n.exe if your on 4.1 firmware and make sure your using the latest version of iTunes.

Just follow the on screen instruction you cant go wrong. Guide here http://www.redmondpie.com/jailbreak-...o-video-guide/ just incase. I recommend getting iBlueNova over iBluetooth

I've seen one called Jailbreakme.com ? Looks simple enough, just downloaded iTunes today so I would think it's the most current version

iBluetooth had a few bad reviews when Rock was still active so I went with iBlueNova and it worked a treat whenever I needed to bluetooth stuff over to other phones.

Silly question... What do you need to jailbreak it for? Is there some untapped feature that you feel you're missing out on?
