I did. Well, in some places where I used to get full bars, I lose one bar. Perhaps it wasn't solidly full bars anyways, and the cover knocked it down a little.
In the kitchen I mostly get 4 bars now, but occasionally you see it jump to full.

ipad baseband mod is irreversable. nothing is ready for 4.2.1. lots of apps cause crashes to springboard. 4.2.1 improvements are minimal. i also experienced freezing, lag and random reboots.
4.1 is stable.
if you do update or have no choice (new device) then try to minimize your apps to keep things stable.
waiting a few weeks will also gives the devs a chance to iron out the wrinkles in their apps and cydia.
early adopters always get burned.

He also mention that he felt that his 4.2.1 felt laggier or slower than 4.1 and strongly advises people with 4.1 to stick with it a bit longer. If you already have 4.2.1 and MUST jb, then go for it, otherwise don't jump on it yet.

4.2.1 is a lot more stable than 4.1 imo. 4.2.1 also fixes the proximity sensor issue where you'd hang up or even press buttons while your in a call.
greenpois0n always seems to have issues with me, even for 4.1. redsn0w untethered will work great for 4.2.1 aslong as you have the 4.2b3 shsh. its very stable and i've had other frnds who use it aswell

Those are probably the best and most updated themes. Personally I find it better because I can take different parts of other themes such as lock, time widget, weather widget,music skin etc. and combine it all into one theme. Takes a bit more work but in the end its worth it  | |

I don't get why everyone has having so many problems with 4.2.1 GP. I have NO problems so far.
Is it maybe because people are restoring from backup which could be causing some conflicting problems?
I never restore from backup and always set up as new just to avoid carrying over any problems from the backup.
My only complaint is one of my cydia apps isn't updated to work perfectly with 4.2.1 yet. (remove background. it causes the statusbar to disappear)

well as im beta testing an app right now i had to go BACK to 4.2.1 
however, i reinstalled everything fresh and didn't use my backup, everything seems to be running ok.
i forgot my own golden rule. don't restore from backup when updating your firmware. unfortunately that means i gotta download like 600 mangas all over again.
Cydia is still a little flakey but overall, i can live with the mionor issues now.
