Steps to do before upgrading to iPhone 4S

Updated 09 November 2011: Certificates are not restored

Upgrading to the iPhone 4S so far has been quite smooth and within half an hour, I have fully restored all the settings in my previous iPhone 3GS. Before you upgrade, remember to do a full backup (not sync) of your previous iPhone using iTunes 10.5.

Once you get the new iPhone 4S, just do the following:
  1. Run your iTunes
  2. Setup your iPhone 4S in your iTunes
  3. Right-click on your iPhone 4S device name, and choose Restore Backup
  4. Select your iPhone Backup (look at the sync date to determine the backup to restore)

That's it. The amount of time required to restore the backup depends greatly on the apps you have in your iPhone. Once done, all your SMSes, contacts, groups, apps, etc will be restored on your iPhone 4S.

Update 1: It seems like certificates are not restored in the backup restoration. My Wireless@SG certificate was lost in the restoration and I had to re-download the certificate.
