Just in case we still have anyone that is on the fence as to whether they should upgrade or hold tight for a little while, I thought it would be good to offer a quick recap on my experience. Of course, it almost seems like it should almost go without saying that, judging from the fact that I have the time to write this that my upgrade went smooth.

Anyway, to keep it short and to the point, my upgrade process went just as expected. Once I clicked the “Check for Updates” button in iTunes, I think it took longer to download the update then to actually have my iPhone back up and running with OS 3.0. In other words, the upgrade was quick and painless. Getting back to my results, I carefully stated that it went as expected, because the upgrade went fine, but the iPhone is no longer jailbroken.

Otherwise, after the update was completed, I then removed the iPhone from iTunes, did some organizing of my apps and then connected back to iTunes. Once I was reconnected, the first sync did take quite a while, it had to perform that first backup, however since then it is all seemingly back to normal, of course normal with some extra features.

As for the extra features, there are quite a bit and although I appreciate cut, copy and paste I think my favorite (at least so far) is the Spotlight Search.

In conclusion, I am missing a few items that I had when I was jailbroken, such as my lock screen calendar, the ability to block pop-up SMS alerts and my five-icon dock but I realize that I will be able to get them back shortly. That said, I am glad I went ahead and updated.
