Nate True has posted an FAQ for the current iPhone 1.1.3 jailbreak method (iphoneatlas.com/2008/01/24/iphone-113-jailbreak-for-macs-released-how-to-make-it-work/”>Mac, iphoneatlas.com/2008/01/24/iphone-113-jailbreak-released-currently-windows-only/”>Windows) that answers questions about problems you may be experiencing after attempting the jailbreak, its limitations, and how to recover an ostensibly bricked iPhone.

Among the caveats:

• The Google Maps “Locate Me” function will not work as well after applying this jailbreak. That’s because this method doesn’t upgrade the iPhone’s cell phone radio, meaning only Wi-Fi data will be used to estimate your current position.
• iTunes Store previews don’t work with this method.
• A variety of issues can cause you to have to restore your iPhone — over and over in some cases — in order to get this jailbreak to take.
• Your iPhone may take a while (up to 4 minutes) to boot after applying the jailbreak.
• The jailbreak currently doesn’t work on PowerPC-based Macs.

As noted yesterday, we’re still awaiting a more robust, less problem prone jailbreak due from the iPhone Dev team.
