Error when trying to update to iOS 4.0.1

I right click the phone, select Transfer Purchases and then I get the same again.

Is this down to in-app purchases such as TomTom traffic?

Well it's been well publicised that 4.0.1 'recalibrates' the signal meter. Just because it's reading lower doesn't mean it will work any worse though.

I'm concerned about doing the update though because of the message above.

/edit - Stuff it - Going for it!

Now I'm getting an unknown error 9 when it tries to restore. I can't get past it

Tried that, same thing. It stops with the bar about 2/3 of the way across and then finally times out with the error. It seems I'm not alone, a lot of people are reporting this on the Apple forums. Some are saying it's congestion at Apple causing it to fail but I can't see that - Mine falls over while "Restoring iPhone firmware..." which is after it's contacted Apple. I have to go to bed now but will try again in the morning before I head off to work.

I tried forcing a restore to a version but it didn't work. The fix in the end was using the method described in this thread on the Apple forums.
