Hello, in june i am going to go buy the new iphone and was wondering if any one can give me some hint and tips of how i should jb it. cause i dont want to have to like activate it and do some thing that will take a long time and then have to redo it if i jb after it. so what is the best method to jb it right out of the box?

In June? Then i assume you're talking about iPhone v.2 which might be more difficult to JB. (not that hackers won't find a way because they most certainly will) God love 'em

Anyway, with the upcoming release of the SDK and future firmware updates, who knows what jailbreaking will be like come June. Or if it will even be necessary????

I'm not sure if you can JB before you activate your phone, but there's probably a way to do it.

Anyway, activating through iTunes doesn't take very long (it took me 3 minutes) and the current JB method (ZiPhone) takes even less time.

oh ok so if u have to reboot ur iphone during a jailbreak do u have to reactivate ur iphone?

Technically yes, but once iTunes recognizes your phone after jailbreaking, it automatically re-activates it.(which for me took only a few seconds and that was with 4 different JB methods multiple times)
