Can I upgrade my iPhone after jailbroken?
You have to do some tweaks here and there, but yes, you can upgrade.
Yes. Through the iTunes software you can have a factory reset which will revert your phone to an "out of the box" state with the current version of the iOS software that is available for your phone. As long as you're packing at least an 3GS, this will be the new iOS 6.
If you want to re-jailbreak your phone after the upgrade, you'll need to wait for the new iOS 6-ready jailbreaks to come out and be stable for your phone.
I'd give it a few months to allow everyone to finish getting all the kinks worked out.
I had the same question, so I took the chance and tried to update it directly through my iPhone. But half way it said 'update failed'. The only way to do this is to:
1. Connect your iPhone to iTunes
2. Back it up
3. Update it
4. Restore backup
5. Wait for the iOS 6 jailbreak to be made
There's currently no jailbreak for the version. Give it a few weeks and it should be created. Alternatively, you can wait for the jailbreak to be created before going through the update process.
Hope that helps!
Of cause, you can.
But you should backup the data first.
