Best way to update?

[BigDukeSix]

After reading all these threads, and commenting on a few of them, it seems that the best way to do my upgrade to ensure the greatest chance of being fully successful iis to 1-do a backup, 2-restore to factory settings, 3-upgrade to iOS 5, and 4-restore from backup. Thoughts?

Or, maybe I should just wait for the iOS 5.1 when a bunch of these issues should be fixed.

I don't believe you need to do step 2, restore to factory setting, but if you backup first it probably won't make any difference.

if you restore from backup, wouldnt that make no different on those other steps?
