I tried and got to the final reboot screen and my phone was well hung! Just did a restore and upgraded to 1.1.3 unjailbroken for now. Waiting for SDK apps now!

This release is a lot more tricky than any of the previous ones.

I got mine jailbroken with 1.1.3 but I left certain apps 'installed' via Installer and can't reinstall them (example OpenSSH), but I managed to keep the new baseband and added the 1.1.3 lockdown file to use it with AT&T correctly (and have Google LocateMe working).

It's definitely a YMMV situation.

I couldn't get mine to update. I followed the Mac directions at iClarified to the letter, I get to the end where I install the 1.1.3 soft upgrade package, iPhone restarts, and then just takes me back to my 1.1.1 iPhone as if nothing happened. I tried it twice. Any ideas?

Apparently purchased music/ringtones and previews (via Wifi iTMS) do not work at all and even screw up the audio out when attempted to be played. I encountered this and several people on hackint0sh are saying the same thing.
I guess it's back to stock for me until they get that working... that's my dealbreaker.

Everything else worked fine for me after some effort (replacing lockdownd, SSH fix, etc.).

ADDENDUM: This is funny, if you 'backed up' your home screen settings (positions of the icons on springboard) after moving non-stock apps around and restore, the positions the apps had taken become empty spots (so I have this blank area near the top of my first page and even one on the bottom row... lol)
