Yes, it is. Seeing as you can do everything that a non-jailbroken phone can do PLUS so much more. Just make sure to READ up carefully first on the subject. Here is a great tutorial. click on your model on the graph etc http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=2311

Yep it is worth, As we all know Jailbreak is the process of hacking an iPhone for make it free from restrictions.
To join subculture Jailbreak is very useful.
But yes there is dangerous also because Because of Jailbreak there may be chances of brick of iPhone.

Please Remember,
some think that Jailbreaking also unlocks the phone for any network, that isn't the case, i have read some bits, and Jailbreaking basically opens up the phone a bit similiar to itunes, BUT, the server for the jailbreak is called cydia, and it appears as an "app" icon once jailbroke.
I recently jailbroke, to see what it was all about, mine is a fairly new iphone, and wanted to see what else it could do, up until recently there has been no option once you upgraded to 3.1.3. On itunes with a MC model.
i read up on a site about a new jailbreak called "spirit", its straight forward, simple to do, but you must read to make sure your iphone/ipad/ or other is compatable with spirit. (GOOGLE - "IPHONE SPIRIT")
Unlike other jailbreaks when you turn your iphone off you have to re-jailbreak When you turn it back on, "spirit" dosen't do this, it allows you to turn off and on with no problems, note this was from a phone that had not been downgraded like mine.

Its all out there for people that are interested, once i achieved jailbreaking it opens up a new world and you can change so much on them examples of this are font type, wallpapers, backgrounds, customise your app icons etc etc the list is endless!
i would like to add, i actually put mine back to its original status, as i was curious more than anything to see what it was all about, hope this helps people that are a bit curious about jailbreaking!
