And yes, jailbreaking is now 100% legal according to the U.S. Government. Though it may still void your warranty, it’s easily reversible. I jailbroke my phone just so I can tether it to my iPad instead of having to get the 3G iPad.
Other than the reason you listed I don’t see any reason to jailbreak anymore.
I got as far as getting Cydia on the phone. Past that, I keep getting 500 errors / errors refreshing data, every time I try to do something. Googling hasn’t yielded any clear answer.
Huh. Getting Cydie on the phone should be pretty much it. There’s nothing after it. Try here for answers:

Or you can tweet the guy who released it who has apparently be super responsive.
I think I made some headway: I emptied every cache possible and restarted the phone several times. Then I reinstalled Cydia. I’ll try to get a theme or something going to test.
It’s working now. Haven’t found anything worthwhile thus far. Anybody know of any must-haves?
Just the NES emulator and MyWIFI — the latter of which is the only thing I’d actually pay for and the reason I jailbroke in the first place.
So far, this has yielded me . . . Slayer wallpaper. Yesterday, I spent about 3 hours looking for better sounds and ring tones and apps. It’s all crap. I’m at a loss for what to do with a jailbroken iPhone.
The prime market are people who aren’t on AT&T looking to use an iPhone. It lets them unlock the carrier settings so they can use whomever they want.
The rest are people looking to drop a few limitations. So I got MyWI or whatever it’s called so I can create wifi networks with my phone to share my 3G connection, and another app that fools the phone into thinking it’s always on a wifi connetion so I can download > 10mb things or connect to facetime calls.
Ooh! Which one is the “fool the phone” app? I would like to make a facetime phone call! Haven’t done that yet.
My3G I think?
Also, Grooveshark has an app which is pretty rad. Millions of songs free to stream on demand.
Useful apps you can get with a jailbroken phone:
