The only real downside is you break the warranty if it is jailbroken.
It is software base, restore your iPhone restore your warranty.

As tlarkin said, jailbreaking is all software-based. The only issue is if something happens during the upgrade process and you brick the phone. But I've jailbroken my phone several times and whenever I have an issue I can put it into recovery mode and try again.The only real downside is you break the warranty if it is jailbroken.
Again, you won't get 3G speeds with T-Mobile but it should work. I would just make sure the screen is responsive, no visible damage, and that the water damage indicator is still white (it's in the bottom of the headphone jack).I may have found a 3G for $150 through a guy I work with. Is there anything I should look for when testing this phone out?
just curious teamhex, are you about to purchase a brand new iphone 3gs? if so i've got bad news, you can't jailbreak the newer supply of 3GS phones.

Lol, wait theres a water damage indicator? Whats bad color then?
Yes, it is located inside the headphone jack.usualy the water damage indicator is white when dry, then if it gets wet it changes to pink
