Only jailbreak if it's a must-have program you know it's safe. I just really wish they opened up the phone to saving apps and attachments, Apple is so paranoid about that.

Jailbreaking is very simple. I haven't heard of too many cases of bricking phones recently. This may have been more of a problem earlier. There are a lot of things you can do with a jailbroken phone that makes it worth it for a lot of people. If you don't like the break you can always go back or just wait for the big update at the end of summer from Apple.
