NO! Cant be done. Not on a PC or the Mac. You need to jailbreak to get Cydia

Sorry, you can't have a jailbroken phone without first jailbreaking your phone.
It is not possible using a Mac, a PC or Linux. Basically, it is not possible on any OS or any where in the universe. It may however, be possible in a Tangent Universe.

If we could have Cydia and the benefits of jailbreaking, without actually jailbreaking, none of us would jailbreak.

However, you do not need a Mac to jailbreak or use Cydia. It works just as good on a PC.

Where in the world did you get that information from?

I think you may have got the terms "jailbroken" and "unlocked" confused. I think you are able to unlock without jailbreaking, but you are not able to get Cydia and unofficial apps without jailbreaking.

Really? I'm pretty sure you need to jailbreak in order to unlock as the soft unlock is downloaded through Cydia.... No?

Sorry, I have confused myself there. You have to jailbreak as part of the unlocking process, but are you then not able to restore to stock?

Thinking about it, this makes no sense, and im guessing this would remove the unlock. Hmmm, never unlocked before, but think I may be confused there. Sorry
