For example, Apple released firmware version 2.0.1 but the iPhone Dev Team had already released Pwnage Tool 2.0.1 to correct a problem with jailbreaking Apple firmware 2.0.

However, if you use the cleaner restore, you will lose all your settings and have to re-enter them. This is because every time you upgrade you lose a chunk of disk space taken up by your last OS installation. Jailbreaking using restore (ie, wiping the phone clean first) is recommended over using upgrade. With the Dev-Team tools, you can always restore Apple’s default firmware.
