I just upgraded to 2.0 via the link from apple. It installed and erased everything on my phone including all my contacts, what do I do?!?!?!?!
If you sync your phone after installing 2.0, it should just go off the last backup that is stored in iTunes, which would be from whenever the last time you synced before today.
I got a error when i tried to do it also 2wice, i was still running a old version of itunes like 7.4 is everyone using 7.7 is that the problem do u need 7.7
Yeah, I've upgraded. Seems nice, searching for contacts has got slower using SMS though, quite sluggish.
Can't wait for iCall to appear on the AppStore

update thru PC at work
if I update using my PC at work, will I be left with an empty iphone. All the music are synced with my home PC. I remembered I did my 1.4 update at work too, but all my content remained intact afterward. Just wanna confirm this, anyone?

Before someone with a jailbroken phone/touch updates, SFTP into your phone and copy a few applications from Installer to your computer. Then drag the folder into the "Applications" section of Itunes. Upgrade to 2.0 and see if the applications can be added.
Mine show up in "Applications" (without icons - see photo) but I don't feel like upgrading to 2.0 because I love Orb and Mobile Scrobbler and others.

Yes a restore wipes everything to factory defaults. You then plug it in, it activates and itunes restores from its most recent backup.
Mail Keeps Crashing
Updated successfully from 1.1.4 to 2.0, synched the iphone with a back-up which I did just before the update. Everything works fine except Mail. I use gmail (IMAP), when I open the mail program it crashes and returns to the home screen.
I tried deleting the account in settings and re-entering the details, but it doesn't delete the account, nor does it allow me to add a new account or turn off the Gmail account. Correction it lets me fill in the details, click the buttons etc, but with no results. I've tried turning off the Push settings. Nothing works. I also tried syncing selected mail accounts in iTunes but get the attached error message.

Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Yes. I hit the sync button and contacts from my mail app got loaded onto the phone. Everything else is like the phone is brand new.
Where is the application Folder?!?
I updated my itunes, and manually installed the 2.0 iphone update, but I don't seem to have the applications folder that is part of the update (Below the Library tab) Any idea what is going on?
oops, got it! never mind.

Success
I am now running the 2.0 firmware
I had a jailbroken/unlocked phone with O2 SIM.
Restored to virgin 1.1.4.
Activated iPhone with iTunes account.
Updated to 2.0.
Activated again with iTunes account.
And now playing with the App store.
Very happy.

The upgrade takes about 15-20 minutes, but just be patient and let it do it's thing. It's not a corrupted or bad firmware at all; it is downloaded from Apple's servers, and they're obviously aware of the downloads. If it was bad they would have blocked it off hours ago.
I'm running 2.0 just fine, getting calls and texts and all that. But the EDGE/Wi-Fi switching seems to be a bit quirky. The App Store seems to switch over to EDGE even though I'm connected to Wi-Fi.
And I can't get the Remote to work
