Questions about downgrading to 4.3.3

I know when I ask this questions there are some general answers out there, but I'll ask anyways.

I was thinking of going back to 4.3.3 (unless there's another beta around the corner) on my phone. I have a 32 GB iPhone 4 on ATT (gsm) currently on iOS5 b2.
Has anybody successfully downgraded by either 1) simply clicking restore, 2) option+restoring to 4.3.3, 3) dfu then option+restore?

And also, what does this mean for the baseband? I know that normally a downgrade will keep the latest baseband version. For those who have downgraded from iOS5b2 on ATT...does your carrier profile still show ATT 10.2.2 and is your modem firmware still at 4.11.06?

Thanks :)

it is easy to downgrade to 4.3.3. I did it yesterday (ios 5 beta 2 -> 4.3.3) on my iphone 3gs, all you have to do it shift/option+restore and it will restore. I always choose restore as new though.

Yes downgrade was very easy for me as well. You should expect Beta 3 any day now though, possible small delay because of the PDF exploit.

For those of you who have downgraded...what's the Carrier Profile (att 10.2.2) and moden firmware (4.11.06) read? Just curious that if the fact that it's a "beta" baseband means anything. It probably doesn't but it's worth asking.
