Default Is there a risk in jailbreaking the iphone?

I'm seriously considering jailbreaking the iphone, just so i can move and change icons on the desktop. I am not interested in unlocking the phone so far. Is there any risk at all?? Whatever happens, will I always be able to restore?

I'm assuming you are an AT&T customer... If so, mod your butt off!! I've restored my phone tens of times...

haha ... it's the "i've restored x number of times" thats kinda funny.

If it worked great you would never have to restore at all.

haha

There is always a risk, but it's not likely anything serious will happen. Most people get theirs back up and running if anything happens.

no risk in jailbreaking and makes the phone much more enjoyable... no matter what happens it can be fixed... no has bricked there phone... ok well not no one but only a couple of people and that was people working on methods to jailbreak, and unlock the phones so it was to be expected... but any of the methods to jailbreak that are out now are perfectly safe... if you have 1.1.1 then i suggest the jailbreakme.com method... very simple to do and www.hacktheiphone.com has very good instructions and a video of the process being done... takes about 5 mins
