Im also JB on 4.1 I think its always good to have the last software on my phone, i think the iphone is a beast and it deserves to be running up to date and efficent but theres no reason to jump the gun and install 4.2.1 unless your having issues with your phone. If not then just be patient there will be a unteathered JB. As for the new 4.2.1 software the new printing feature is pretty sick as i use my iphone as a lil hand held computer!!!
 
doh, this is what i get for not readng directions, i feel so dumb...ok i tried re doing all the stuff with this new jailbreak its so annoying, im going back to 4.1 till an untethered one comes out

I've noticed that after updating, my phone won't auto lock itself anyone else having issues with 4.2.1 not jb related?
 
I have still got iOS 4.1 jailbroken with Limera1n baseband 02.10.04! If I upgrade to iOS 4.2 will be able to jailbreak my iPhone 4 with Limera1n again or Greenp0ison and will Limera1n and Greenp0ison be UNTETHERD? or is their another jailbreak for iOS 4.2? I am not interested in unlocking.
