What jailbreak unlocking does?
Unlocking allows third-party customizations such as Folders, Orientation lock, Lock screen widgets, and Themes, as well as various tweaks and optimizations. Is it worth it? Yes.
It does not SIM unlock your device.
Types of unlocking
The following levels of unlocking are possible:
Developer Unlock: This allows third-party (homebrew) applications to be sideloaded onto the device. Max 10
Interop Unlock: This allows better access to the device, including areas Microsoft has locked down. Registry editors, file explorers, etc., require this. Gives you the acess you had on a Windows Phone 6
Rooting: This allows higher privileges to be granted to applications. This is possible on devices with custom ROMs, or interop unlock. Dynamic Background and Lock Widgets require this.
Full Unlock: This allows native EXEs to be run on the device. This includes things such as the DFT Bluetooth file transfer application.
Which phones can be hacked?
Samsung 1st, 2nd generation: Interop Unlock possible with WindowBreak, version 7740 and below.
LG (all generations): Interop Unlock possible with MFG application
HTC 1st generation: Interop Unlock possible, (via ROM Flash)
HTC 2nd generation: No interop, jailbreak, or custom ROMs possible yet
Nokia: No interop/jailbreak yet _________________________________________________________
