• Answer:

  You won't be able to use it all. You won't be able to turn your phone back on: See step 10 from this tutorial, you'll need to complete it to restart your phone: http://www.gearsoftech.com/2012/05/jailbreak-ios-5-1-1-on-iphone-and-ipad-in-10-easy-steps/ If this sounds inconvenient, then you may want to wait for an untethered jailbreak which should be released in the next week or so http://www.gearsoftech.com/2012/05/latest-update-on-untethered-jailbreak-for-ios-5-1-and-5-1-1/
