I decided to jail break again. I really like the sbsettings That lets you turn things like wireless, bluetooth, and other features on and off with a simple click.
I also use mywi to tether when on the road, since I purchased the app it is very useful.
Some of the other reasons to jailbreak are to test out some fun themes.
To jailbreak I used the always up to date lifehacker post:

Beyond the main applications I normally use I also installed the best jailbreak apps from lifehacker
