iPhone 4S owners who are waiting on a Jailbreak... Did you update to 5.0.1?

Yes. It's a toss up, don't know how specific the A4 jb was to 5.01 or it was really the A4 chip. Point is I feel I'd be better off on the same fw as the current jb, and hope the A5 issue is solved. I updated before 5.01 signing stopped. I'll stay here until I hear otherwise from the dev teams.
Maybe Comex will leak some A5 secrets from behind the iron curtain

This is what I was thinking. I haven't updated yet, but plan on it tonight.

Yeah i am not certain what to do either. The JB guys are always rather vague as i guess they dont want to say to much and get peoples hopes up for nothing .
In this case if the masses think its a good idea to update to 5.01 i probably would but since i am not having any issues on 5.0 i really have not seen the need to .
Are we even remotely certain that Pod2g has anything functioning on a A5 device ?. i know he has an A5 device from what i read but i think everything else has been pure speculation, like the A4 JB is based on 5.01 so everyone with a 4s should be find upgrading.
There is also the whole baseband debacle from MN.

Pod2g tweeted this and this is why I decided to update
"BTW: A4/A5 users, don't update to 5.0.2 when it's out, that would cut your jailbreak possibilities."

5.0.1 is fine. I updated and I have no regrets.
Just don't update PAST 5.0.1, because Apple will most likely PATCH THE EXPLOIT that is needed to inject the jailbreak into the iOS very soon.

pod2g has been testing all his stuff on 5.0.1, seeing how this untethered JB for A4 devices hasn't worked for 5.0 yet, it would be wise to update to 5.0.1 and stay there.
Ok well i bit the bullet and updated to OTA 5.01 based on the masses thinking this is the best scenario .
I was hesitant mainly because my battery life has been great since calibrating it and that was really the only concern i initially had as people that did update said there battery life tanked after the update.
Edit: In case anyone was concerned that they might end up on 9A406, just do the OTA update, i just did mine 2 minutes ago and its at 9A405 and the Modem firmware is at 1.0.13.
I believe if you go through Itunes to update you will be on 9A406 with a different Modem Firmware as well.
I posted this info because i believe not everyone knows there are infact 2 versions of 5.01 and how you end up there depends on the way you updated your device.
