Contacts, music, videos can be synchronized via itunes. The pictures can be downloaded directly from your iphone. When you hook your iphone, you just open explore the device and you can download the photos from the camera roll.

Notes, sms, applications, and any customization will be lost (not if only jailbreaking).

I do not care much for my notes and sms, so I went ahead and did it. I downloaded back most of my applications through Cydia. I do not have that many extra applications, so that did not bother me as well.

I really cannot tell you if you could backup sms and notes however.

I have successfully updated my 2g iPhone from 1.1.4 (ziphoned) to 2.0.2 with Winpwn 2.5. in custom mode and expert mode.

It was very easy, no problems at all. Just follow instructions and be patient as Winpwn does its job. I did not have to update first to 2.0.2 FW (ie; via iTunes) and then use Winpwn. Winpwn 2.5 updates, jailbrakes, and unlocks (2g phones ).Make sure you have downloaded to your computer the correct 2.0.2 restore FW file, and the two bootloader bin files, before starting the process.

Just restore (shift+restore on windows) in DFU mode the custom file that Winpwn creates and that is it! Easy. Thanks a lot.

I just used WinPwn. It worked ok and has Installer and Cydia on there now. But neither one of them install anything. They both time out with network errors when i open them to there main page. If i go to where the apps are and install lets say Winterboard. It does it but when it finishs and says to respring, there is no Witerboard icon. If I go back into Cydia it will let me dowload it again and does not show it in the section of already dowloaded apps. What is up with this WinPwn?

I Winpwn a 1.1.4 2g without having to update through itune. Just Shift and selected custom 2.0.2.firmware while in DFU mode. Everything is fine, just cant figure out why I cant use a 78kb jpg custom boot logo.
I think this is a bug in Winpwn. I even tried it on another iphone that was updated with itune.
