You will have to re-jailbreak after installing iOS 5, and who knows how long it will be before a jailbreak for iOS 5 will be available.

Unless you have a specific reason for jailbreaking as I did with my previous iPhone, I can't really recommend it.

There are a few minor perks, but the hassle of having to constantly re-do it (and wait seemingly forever for a foolproof jailbreak to emerge) isn't worth it to me. I was delighted when I did my final-forever jailbreak/unlock on my original iPhone (which cannot be upgraded past 3.1.3) and will GLADLY wait until the end of my contract with this new iPhone 4 to get the phone factory unlocked (they do that here in Canada) instead.

Apple has started selling them unlocked in the US also finally.
