Default Better to download 2.0 first, then update?

I am reading through many of these posts and it's clear that one of the major problems is timing out while the update is happening. Is it better to first download the update BEFORE updating the phone? At least with that approach there is no risk of getting stuck in the middle of the update/sync if something craps out.

OK, how long does the phone hang with the message "Restoring iPhone from backup"?????

I have been stuck there for 20 minutes!

I just updated my wife's phone and her's took almost an hour from start to finish. The majority of the time was spent waiting for it to restore her music and video. The activation took all of a few seconds, as opposed to this morning when mine took 30 minutes or so.

It takes a while to do the prepare and restore phase so just be patient

I disconnected the phone from my PC because I thought it was stuck or something. I lost all my contacts in my phone. Please tell me my contacts are still in iTunes!?!?

If it did a backup before you started to do the upgrade, then when it finally does the upgrade and finishes, it should restore from the backup.

Yes, I remember the backup process completing successfully, so hopefully I am safe!

Thanks
