Hey ,

Can't wait till 6pm uk time to update !

Seems after reading threads their is a lot of confusion and doubt over wether to set up as a new phone or just upgrade.

I've read that setting up as a new phone is the best way to go as your basically wiping the slate clean on the iPhone thus getting rid of old data making the phone like new again.

I don't have any urge to keep game saves etc but obviously I need to keep my contacts, calendar notes etc.

If I choose the set up as new phone and update to ios5 how will my iPhone then be updated with contacts, apps and calendar notes or is it just as simple as performing a sync when the ios5 software gas finished downloading ?
