I sold my 4S and decided to "downgrade" to a iPhone 4. The 4 I purchased today has been untouched and is running 4.2.8 (on Verizon). Is there any advantage by keeping it this way or should I go ahead and update to iOS 5.0.1?
Got a tip for us?

Is there any major advantage in running an older version of iOS vs iOS5?

There's the whole 'bad battery life' thing.
It seems Apple hasn't fully nailed down the causes and 5.0.1 made some people happy but not everyone. It may be worth waiting 'till 5.1 and see what happens with that.
That said, not everyone is having problems and it mostly has to do with what apps and what cloud services you're using and how they're set.
So I don't know...flip a coin? It's so hard to say.

There is, however it's tethered. What that means is, if you have to reboot your phone, you will have limited functionality until you jack back into your computer and boot it out of that mode. Some people absolutely hate this. I don't mind it, you just have to use some common sense and not download cydia packages that require a reboot while you are out and about.
