I am sorry if this has been said, but I haven't found it yet.

Should I download and install or just download?
I want to install the 3.0 like I found in this post

"Hey guys, just a tip when updating next week to iphone 3.0

After you update the software, don't choose "restore from backup" in itunes. Choose "create a new phone". Only thing you will lose is your stored txt messages. The good thing about this, is it acts as a clean install on your phone. If you restore from backup some system files are copied over and it won't be as solid of an OS."

Will just downloading it 1st give me this option or does it matter?
