It'll probably "just break" for some people, but it "just worked" for me, albeit slowly.

Not being funny but 4.x to 5.x is a major upgrade, back up your phone, wipe the phone, then install iOS5 and then set it back up...

That seems to be the easiest way to do it.. It takes a lot longer but I didn't encounter a single error.

I hope my 4S arrives early on tomorrow to get it all set up early on
