I then download the 2.2.1 ipsw from the link you provided above, place the ipsw in the pwnage folder, and then use the pwnage tool to make a custom firmware that updates me to 2.2.1 but maintains the 2.28 baseband correct?

Explanation: PwnageTool leaves the baseband as it is for 3G to make sure you

P.S. Can you recommend a video tutorial that will step me through it? Is the iclarified video accurate?

Thanks-nano

and download the 3G firmware file 2.2. Open iTunes 8.0.2, connect your iPhone 3G and hit shift-restore (Windows) or option-restore (Mac). A dialog will show up. Select the 2.2 firmware file you downloaded. You will end with a locked 2.2 iPhone at the correct baseband.

As described in the iClarified tutorial I mentioned, create a custom firmware 2.2.1 with PwnageTool 2.2.5. Follow the tutorial.

Read the iClarified tutorial, it is pretty straight forward.
