I have a iPhone that was running 2.0 and jailbroken. I updated using iTunes 8 to 2.1 and this firmware and it works great. The phone didn't need unlocking and all the apps/music/contacts remained - all I lost was my Cydia and Cydia Apps. You can do a full Jailbreak as per the instructions here. Looks pretty simple and I would do it but I'd rather run iTunes 8 with Genius at the expensive of a few cracked apps.

I dont recomend that method, the iphone dev team have already had a rant about that site.
For everything jailbreak related go straight to the source http://blog.iphone-dev.org/ quickpwn and pwnage are out for OSX. Windows versions shouldnt be far away.

+1 for this reply, head straight to the blog for all the info you need as and when firmware updates come out.
My method has always been (When a firmware update is released) -
-connect iphone to itunes, when it asks if you want to install the update just click Download Only. -once update is downloaded, go to the iTunes Updates folder where it's located and move it to the desktop. -close itunes -download the latest pwnagetool, currently 2.1 -run pwnage tool, using expert mode. -choose all your options, i change the partition to 1gb, i don't bootneuter, and i don't use custom logos. -build the custom firmware upgrade. -once finished, close pwnagetool. turn off iphone and open itunes. -boot iphone to recovery (from off, hold down home and plug in usb cable). -itunes recognises an iphone in recovery mode, asks to restore firmware. choose option+restore (on mac) to browse to the firmware you created instead of using the default apple one. -wait for the restore. all is well.
this is the best method for me, i don't trust quickpwn because i need to see what i'm doing, don't trust all-in-one options. i can use genius, app store apps, jailbroken apps, itunes syncing, etc etc. just like a normal iphone.
