what happens if i just take my phone in to the apple store in it's current 4.1 version? will they just tell me to upgrade the firmware and see how that works? or will they replace it without having to do that?

I think it'll come down to what your "Genius" decides. Whenever I'm in the Apple Store just to browse, I ask them a question about my phone so they don't think I'm loitering. Lately, I've been told to do complete reset of my phone and not restore-from-backup as a solution to my problems. (Wifi, phone lagging, home button sometimes not working.) I'd imagine the same Geniuses who told me that would tell you to upgrade to 4.3.5. In any case, if you get a replacement, it will be loaded with 4.3.5.

When you plug in your phone to sync with iTunes, one of the first steps of sync'ing is creating a backup. (In the progress window, you can see that "Step 1/5" is "Backing up.") This backs up your photos and text messages, too. When you plug in a new iPhone, during the setup process you can select to restore it to a previously saved backup. Each backup file is named according to date/time so you know how old it is.
What I personally do with my contacts, as I've mentioned in this thread a few times already, is set it up with a GMail account. Read this post:
