After you complete Pwnage, iTunes gives me a message - "An iPhone has previously been synced with this computer." If i choose "Restore from the backup of:" will this overwrite everything I have done or wil this allow me to sync my music back up.

It will just put your contacts and text back

Before upgrading, let iTunes synchronize your address book with some address book on your computer (e.g. Outlook).

After upgrading, do that again -- tell iTunes to "replace contacts on phone" or something.

You'll still lose the pictures associated with your contacts. Alternatively, you could try copying ~/Library/AddressBook before upgrade and putting it back afterwards, but I'm not sure what that would mean for synchronizing afterwards.

You won't even loose the contact photos as those sync across too. What you will loose is SMSs, email settings, any other customized setting you've setup (standard iphones ones that is) and anything in your camera roll.

My AT&T service isnt working...

I upgraded to 1.1.4 and restored the back up because I didn't want to lose all my SMS. I had no problems at all except the mail app, after changing the permissions everything works fine.
