I was one of the "should have waited" crowd. I downloaded ios5 for my iphone 4 and had it jailbroken before it was released publicly. I did so because I have enjoyed having my phone jailbroken and was really excited to upgrade and jailbreak the new version. Yes it worked, but like this article said, many and in my case MOST of the jailbroken apps didn't work. That pretty much made it useless to me. On top of that, as I restored my apps, I started getting errors due to the incompatibility of the jailbroken apps on ios5.
