How many have not modded or unlocked your iPhone?

I haven't because I'm completely content with the way my device is right now. I don't want to ugly it up with a bunch of low-rent, ghetto mods that will likely force me to at least deal with restoring the phone every time an update hits.
Basically, not interested.

I have 3 iPhones in my house and all 3 have never had anything done to them. I guess you can say they are all still virgins!

I generally fall into this camp. I don't normally go out of my way to make my phone (or anything else) real "different". I usually prefer things clean, simple, and "as-designed".
However, since discovering Installer, I've had a lot of fun updating my iPhone; both its appearance and the applications. The list of available applications is impressive, and while there are some "ghetto" apps, most of them are very well designed and highly functional. There are lots of nice-looking themes that can be swapped in a matter of seconds, and there's an update almost daily.
Installer gives me the freedom and feature set that I expected Apple to provide.
If you haven't tried it out, give it a shot. It's really easy to do and the worst case is you restore back to where you started.
All that said... I have only done mods and would likely never try to unlock the phone.
Mine has not been altered. Although the different apps available appeal to me, I'll wait until Apple sanctions them.
Until then, its virgin territory for me.

I'd modded and loaded apps on mine after 1.0.1 update, but had to restore for the 1.0.2 version. Just never got around to remodding after that.
Plan to unlock, but wanted to see what the next update did, and how quick to re-unlock before I did it (and I wasn't immediately in need of the unlocked phone).

Modded for a brief period...about 36 hours. just didn't find anything too interesting back then. it seems like some new apps have been added, perking my interests again, but i'll wait to see what the supposed update brings.
somehow, i'm dying to know more about this ANTS app.

Not modded mine, but ive unlocked it to work with o2 uk.
Love the stares i get in england when they see the phone, especially in my local o2 store, they still hadnt seen one.

A few weeks in I modded the buttons on the home screen but after a few days, I restored it and haven't done anything since. Didn't seem like it was worth all the hassles. Not unlocked either, AT&T works just as good as any other carrier here.
You obviously have not seen what is out there in the last month. "Low-rent, ghetto mods" is far from accurate in many cases and insulting to those who performed the work and shared it with others.

I put apptapp on my phone last night, and removed it a short while later after trying out said "low-rent, ghetto-mod" apps. I didn't find anything on there that interested me. Perhaps because I was primarily interested in games.
I'm in the "skeered" camp. I didn't find the available add-ons worth any possible risk to my phone, especially voiding my warranty slash AppleCare. I paid good money for this thing, and I don't often splurge for electronics... so I don't care to risk its safety.
i've only added a handful of ringtones through itoner (and a few legitimate ones throug the ituners ringtone function).
like many here, i like the look and functionality of my iPhone as-is. i do want some other applications, but i'm fine waiting to see if Apple will provide some. i'm in no rush to modify or unlock my iPhone...

By "mods" I meant themes, icons, etc. No way could you have checked out all of the Summerboard/iSwitcher themes in a short while...
Well if you have no interest in Blackjack, Mines (Sweeper), FiveDice (excellent Yahtzee clone), Tetris, or the dozens or more of games that work well with NES then I don't know what to say. But I will say have fun with Web apps when you are at 35,000 feet and in Airplane Mode
. ds.I've never been in that camp, and hopefully never will.
