Default Should I...

update my baseband to the latest one using iTunes then jailbreak and unlock using blackra1n (or blacksn0w, w.e)? And I have a lot of applications, some of them were already on the phone by the previous owner and I don't want to lose them, so is there a way to copy the IPAs by SSHing into the phone or some sort so I wouldn't lose them and then install them later on?

Thank you very much.

im not sure about what you should do about the apps, but i think you should update, jailbreak and then unlock via blackra1n and blacksn0w. a lot more apps are becoming only 3.1 which may present you with issues later on.

I'm already 3.1.2 but old baseband. I'm updating using iTunes now, waiting on the new firmware to finish downloading then I'll use this to unlock.

This is a list of my applications:

WinterBoard

Air Sharing Pro

Finger Print

Funky Punch

Number Key

Photogene

Piainst

Rock

Shazam

VoiceKeyboard

Zippo Lighter

WirstPop

Dictionary

Fifa 10

Band

Barista

Camera HD

Flick Fishing

Rolando

Red Laser

FileMagnet

Remote

Backbreaker

Crash Kart

Stick-Fu

Cro-Mag

Installous

Paper Toss

Ping!

Rooms

Backgrounder

Hot Banana

Lunar Ball

Rat On Run

IQ?

Battery Magic

R Racing GTI

Agile Messenger

AirCam

BetterPix

Facebook

CharMap

Skee-Ball

EDIT: I just tried updating through iTunes and it said I have the latest firmware. But I only want to update so I can get the newer baseband, plus I'm feeling my iPhone is getting a bit slower than it was when I first updated so.. what should I do?

thats the same unlock i used. it worked without a hitch. do you have a different carriers simcard to test it out? or do you require unlock to use your phone in general?

Nope. I don't know what's up with that. I never get replies but sometimes, in all of a sudden, I receive ALL of them at once and then they stop coming. Weird.
