From what I read, the latter (backup iPhone, "Restore" to virgin state, upgrade to 4.0.1, then put your backup back /on top/ of the new OS) is the way to go with the 3G. -- Cheers ... Mark

Interesting - I'll try it on the wife's 3G. How do you save more than 1 backup though? As I recall, when I did my upgrade, it staretd with a backup, which means that it will over-write the backup that I want with a backup of a freshly-restored iPhone.
