Would you reccommend 2.0, and then download through the new Appstore? Is that stuff (games, utilities, etc.) comparable to the stuff available now through Installer?
If anyone wants to email me directly at
tpduggan@charter.net that would be great.
tpduggan, welcome to EIC. Congrats on a good first post. We hope you will continue to contribute!
WRT your question, when you restore or upgrade to a new firmware, your phone will again be "virginized". All jailbroken apps will be removed. If you were to do a restore again to the same firmware version as on your device, you will also lose all apps on your device. This is why folks who have jailbroken abhor the idea of restoring - means reinstalling everything.
2.0 has some performance issues. You can read about them here at EIC. The app store has good potential, but may not offer the same apps as currently available via installer. There is no rush for you to go out and upgrade firmware other than if you have a curiosity. Eventually, 2.0 and above will become the law of iPhone land. Until then, your call.
