for me jailbreaking gives you the power to modify and setup your iPhone the way you want it........all limitations are removed...

I wouldn't necessarily say ALL limitations - there's certain things that ever since the jailbreak I've had serious head stress with. One of the more common ones is the dictionary - since when has a phone NOT had a custom dictionary that you can edit? Autocorrect does my head in.

But that's not a limitation of JB but the iphone in general. JB has changed my life - plenty of apps that you no longer have to weigh up if its worth while or not to pay the (sometimes extortionate) cost, and also the ability to change the appearance of the GUI. Perfect Wins.
