Quick question. My jailbreak has gone flawlessly. No issues. I haven't yet connected my 4S to iTunes yet to sync and backup. If I backup w/ a jailbroken iPhone, and then later upgrade to 5.1 and lose the JB. Can I still restore backup even though it was when I was jailbroken? Nothing changes or happens w/ iTunes and syncing I'm guessing?

You will see empty spaces that used to be cydia and other jailbreak apps, which can be easily rearranged, thats about it.

Ah, cool. Thanks man. :) I thought it would mess up the sync and whatnot. Man, I've wondered why jailbreaking is so frowned upon.. It's my first JB and honestly all I'm seeing is improvements instead of issues. I wish I would of started doing this when I had my 3GS & my i4.
