I'd say mQucikDo is more 'fiddly' rather than buggy, in my experience – as in, you have to fiddle with it a bit and get used to it to make ti work as you want. Once you do though, it's a superb app IMO.

I haven't seen any problems with the Maps app as yet – and in fact have been using it heavily just recently as part of testing / comparing a new beta app that uses some mapping features.

My pleasure on continuing the series. I can't say there's anything I 'miss' about running the phone stock, as being jailbroken does not take away any abilities from me, it only adds to what I can do. The only thing that is close to a miss is the 100% rock-solid stability that I've mentioned a few times. There is very little issue with this now on the jailbroken phone, but there have been a small handful of incidents since being JBed, which is a small handful more than I ever had when running stock.

I can't think of anything else – apart from simpler / quicker updates as you've mentioned.

There have been a couple of random crashes in the native maps app post jailbreak. I'll be using it and *poof* all of the sudden it closes. Not a big deal but definitely not something I was seeing before the jailbreak.

More good suggestions – thank you. qTweeter's been on my list for a while. 🙂

Not yet – just haven't found any that grab me yet. Many of them seem to want to do way too much, stuff that I feel may diminish battery life and / or performance. And a heck of a lot are just ugly in my opinion.

Brian – I think your comments have been clear and understandable. And I agree that this is sort of part of the trade-off with some jailbreak apps – they are letting you do things you cannot do on a stock phone (by accessing some 'forbidden' areas etc) but that creates more potential for some instability and some unpredictable results, on pretty rare occasions. I've only mentioned the issue largely for those who have never jailbroken – just as a bottom line results type report. The instability is pretty rare, but it's there and is noticeable when you come from stock (particularly on the rock, rock solid 3GS).

Good suggestions – going to give those a try soon thanks.

MMS options = nope. I'm a very light user of SMS, and a never even tried it MMS user. Just have no need. Oh, and let's not even start on wives' criticisms of the iPhone – that's got enough material for a hundred posts. 🙂

Cool – glad to hear it. And yes you told me so. 🙂

Thanks Jaime. I am very gun-shy on themes at the moment, and also just really haven't found any that grab me that much. If I start seeing some I like, Ill certainly start doing some posts on them. 🙂

As far as jailbreak apps though, you might want to try:

qtweeter
irealquicksms
3g unrestrictor
yourtube

and while you're at it, go ahead and get this theme. I'm running it and love it: http://macciti.com/2009/08/05/haligh-insanely-bea…

The iPhone Blogging

Couple more suggestions for you. They aren't free and may not be something you would get use out of, but I absolutely love them. For less than the cost of a cheeseburger for both, I found iFile and Safari Download Manager to really make the iPhone into more of a powerhouse. I'll let you read the descriptions and/or do your own review, but they really have made a big difference in how my workflow actually flows between phone and computer now. No more emailing myself links or files.
