I'll answer the OP.

5.0.

Since it appears that the JB software will support it, I'll stay on 5.0, JB, then upgrade to 5.0.1 while preserving the baseband. That way, I could still beat the signing window for 5.0.1 and keep the potential ability to unlock.

That is my exact goal too buddy, let's hope this all goes smoothly :)
 
I thought your goal was to sell it for the SGS2?

BL.

Ur comprehension skillz concern me bradley, (thought u stalked my posts more closely than that) :eek:

My goal is to unlock & JB, then sell for a sgs3 next month -
The timing of this whole thing is incredible, imagine what the chinese are willing to pay for an unlocked gsm 4s -

I honestly don't care what you sell it for..

I think the bulk of the people here are more concerned with you living up to your word.

Only problem with that is that you can't preserve baseband anymore as of iOS 4.3 or so (without bootrom exploit)

That is why I started this thread, to see if everyone updated before me, or if I should be happy I'm still on 5.0.

So how many guys upgraded to 5.0.1 and wish they had not?

initially I upgraded to 5.0.1, but then my wifi stopped working and the genius bar gave me a replacement. this one was still on 5.0, so this time I decided to leave it there. I do think the battery life is a bit worse though... I'm hoping they can port the power management changes over through a cydia package or something
 
I got better battery life switching to 5.01 as did the other 4s in our family but i can see the allure of the unlock feature so if i could turn back the clock i would have stayed at 5.0 im sure of it. But that is mainly just for resale value down the road and not something i personally needed .

Same - I only want an unlock for the sake of resale. A part of me is tempted to sell this phone for whatever I can get now and then buy a factory unlocked model just so I don't have to worry about baseband updates... but thats more work than i want to do right now lol

Yeah unless i was making hundreds of dollars off that deal i honestly would not bother either.

Im cool at 5.01, i just want to Jailbreak and customize my phone :)
