I saw to put it on you have to restore your phone. I have a ton of folders on it, so I really don't want to get rid of those so: a) If I put iOS6 on, will I lose all my folders and b) Can I restore my phone back to iOS5 if either something is wrong with iOS6 or it's not good?

You can find the download for iOS5 online, and you can install it through Xcode (not iTunes) and thus it'll fully restore your device. // J Comments a) I think you do, unless you make a backup [someone needs to verify this] b) Yes, you can.

It is slow and buggy. Comments No, I believe once you are on IOS 6 you cannot downgrade back to 5 Wait for IOS 6 beta 2, I have 6 installed on my old 3GS and my friends 4S. It is slow and buggy.
