Its probably a silly question but please bear with me.
I get most of my podcasts and apps directly through the itunes and app store in the iPhone. In fact I hardly sync with itunes on the PC these days, and I have it set to manually manage stuff rather than automatically sync.
With that in mind, if I do the upgrade to firmware 3.0, what do I need to do first not to lose apps currently on the iPhone, and also stuff like e-mails, e-mail settings, notes, contacts, etc.
Do I have to back all this up on iTunes first? (And how) or does the firmware installation process do a backup, install and restore by itself?
Thanks in advance.
Note: My iPhone is legally open (italian) and not jailbroken.
