3GS on version 3.0 upgrade to 4.x

I have a 3GS on version 3.0, no SIM card. I would like to upgrade to 4.x and jailbreak/unlock, but right now I can only upgrade to 4.0.2, for which the jailbreak is not available yet. Trying to Restore to version 4.0.1 gives the message "invalid image". Should I jailbreak now on 3.0 with redsn0w, and wait to upgrade to 4.x later? Anyway for me to get to 4.0.1?
Thanks,
Moshe

I would like to see an answer to this as well!
I currently have a jailbroken 3gs on 3.1.3
I have tried to upgrade to 4.0 with itunes 10 and am receiving an error also:

2010-09-04 18:23:57.363 [3872:e04]: [tss] error from server=94 (This device isn't eligible for the requested build.)

Have apple stopped signing 4.0?
Because I would really like to update to 4.x and jailbreak.
---------Update---------

Since I have 4.0 and 4.0.1 SHSH backed up on cydia's server, I was able to edit my HOSTS file, and I am now able to install 4.0 onto my 3GS.

mlinzer: It looks like apple have stopped signing 4.0, and you will only be able to install that version if you have you phones SHSH on file.

Yep, you're correct. Apple has stopped signing 4.0, 4.0.1, and is only signing 4.0.2 and 4.1 right now. I expect 4.0.2 will stop being signed in the next week or so, so get your 4.0.2 SHSH's on file ASAP! You won't have the opportunity to do so for much longer. Since 4.1 contains a new baseband, it's recommended not to upgrade as you will lock the phone again (if it's not factory unlocked), and it may be a long time before the baseband in 4.1 is unlocked (if ever).

Just checked, 4.0.2 is still being signed. 4.0.1 is NOT being signed by Apple

Now 4.1 is out, we are talking days before 4.0.2 is no longer signed
I reiterate what n1ckn4m3 said - get your 4.0.2 SHSH's on file ASAP

This is especially important to 3G and 3GS owners who have not yet upgraded to iOS 4.x
