If you're thinking of upgrading and you've got the 3g model (not so much the 3gs) then save your time and don't bother.

I upgraded the other day and it's pretty much cocked up the phone. Everything runs so much slower and the phone has started crashing out of apps as well. I can't even restore it to the old operating system. GARGH

    Yeah, you don't get anything new really, since everything is disabled.

    You can downgrade. You firstly have to downgrade your version of iTunes, and then you need to alter your hosts file so it uses Cydia's verifcation server so it will allow the restore.

    only problem is you lose everything unless the backup from before the upgrade was saved.....which mine wasn't.

    It didn't make it obvious at the time. A decent company would have offered you the chance to backup the previous OS and give you the option of downgrading if you so choose.

    iTunes by default backs up the OS before anything, unless you tell it not to automatically. That's why the advice is to sync before you upgrade or restore. But yeah, Apple has done this for pretty much everything.

    It did backup before the upgrade, but then it overwrote the backup file almost immediately.

    I think it's a gamble. A lot of people have done, some haven't.
