so when I got home from apple with my iphone 4 and connected it to itunes it asked me if I want to set up a new phone, or restore form a backup.

whats the difference? is there a right and wrong choice here?

its really up to you but i set up as new just to be safe.

Can someone else elaborate with some more detail to the original question?

If you are coming from a 3G or 3Gs, what does setting up your phone as new in the menu, differ than restoring from your 3Gs backup?

[Mustang5Oh]

restoring from backup transfers your information onto the new phone like saved game stuff and settings...setting up as new does not do this.

i came from a JB 3G with iOS4 GM so i wanted to start from scratch but that was my choice.

like i said its up to you. worst case scenario is if you do it from a backup and it runs funky you just restore it as new.

I like starting fresh.

I also started fresh after much internal debate. I lost a few games, but I think it was worth it in the end.
