I have a lot of useful crap on it, like my notes, pirated applications, Safari account information saves, bookmarks, crap like that; but I'm still running firmware 4.2.1-- should I upgrade? I hear 5.x.x has some cool new features planned. My real question I guess, is that IS IT WORTH upgrading?

I don't believe we 'condone' jaibreaks and pirated apps here on SF...
BUT, it's up to you ultimately. I usually don't upgrade until I really feel the need to, TBH.

Pretty sure it's allowed-- jailbreaking isn't illegal. Anyways, thanks, gonna stay on this firmware.

Why condone jailbreaks? They're perfectly legal, and perfectly fine imo. Now the pirated material we might condone... I wouldn't upgrade, all the newest firmware does is break your jailbreak.

You mean the other way around. Tongue Condone means to allow something.

I have never updated my iPhone 4 yet.

If you are running iOS 4.3.3 then you have the ability to Jailbreak it. If you upgrade to iOS 4.3.4/5 you will not be able to Jailbreak it. If you have a way to upgrade to iOS 5 Beta X then you may lose some of our apps due to compatibility issues.
