I am unsure whether the PW3 shipped with 5.8.9.2 - is that likely, or is it more likely that it shipped with lower than that but updated itself when I first connected it to wifi? Apologies if that is a stupid question...
Not a stupid question.
At this point in time, it likely updated the second you turned on wifi.
Now as to the first part, there is currently no jailbreak for that firmware.
No idea when or if there will ever be one.
Check back periodically to the software jailbreak thread for more details.
In the meantime, look around and enjoy the rest of the forums.
