There is a way to secure access to your facebook mobile page. Once logged in, tap your profile button and in the upper left hand corner you find the logout button. Tap it and you will be forced to log in next time you want access. This way if someone grads your phone, ythey cannot access your facebook page unless they have your log in info. Hope this helps.

Hi Bla1ze,

No, the flaw that allowed access beyond the "emergency call" functionality was fixed in 2.1. You can no longer double-press Home when locked to get to favorites, which was the exploit vector for that flaw.

With 2.1, all you can do is "emergency call"

Umm..correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the unlock "flaw" still exist in 2.1 as well, making the passcode pointless unless the buttons are reassigned anyways?

Yes you get mms in jailbreak iPhone ... The program is swirlymms ... You can find more info on swirlyspace.com ... Yes u can still install apps from apps store just like a unjailbreak iPhone .... And when a new firmware comes out I just upgrade with iTunes just like every one else and rejailbreak my phone ... Note might wait a day or to for the new jailbreak software to jailbreak the new firmware

@edgar....You get mms on jailbroke phones?! How does it work? Like a normal mms would? Can you still use all the apps from the app store? What about when a new firmware is released are you screwed and have to do a restore?

A simple restore before a trip to the Apple store restores your warranty even on a jailbroken device

@ Omar

Warranty means nothing nowdays. Eapecailly with mobile devices. Jailbreaking is worth the risk. People have come up with amazing code that apple would probably reject from the app store. This is what drives the mobile industrys. I can't wait till andriod gets released. Open market = product or in this case software evolution which is great for the end user, us.
