So I have a 3GS running 3.0.1 Jailbroken... and I'm wondering if there's any reason I should upgrade to 3.1.2?

I have my phone set up pretty nicely with my themes and customizations and Cydia Apps... and I just think it would be a crapload of work to update. I get good battery life (I'm at 3 hours of usage, mainly internet and other stuff requiring 3G and 13+ hours of standby with 56% battery left), so I'm not really seeing a need to upgrade.
 
Unless you dont use five column springboard and you dont care about organizing apps through itunes then theres no need right now.
 
If your iPhone doesn't have the "sleep" problem then there's really no reason. My iPhone wouldn't wake up from sleep about 50% of the time when I was using 3.0.1, but it seemed to only effect some iPhone and not all of them.

Same here. I upgraded for this reason. But I waited till I saw I could enable tethering in 3.1.2. When I saw that, I went for it, and I'm happy now.

Faster. Very noticeable
 
Vr

all the new VR apps require it, the latest yelp does too. Yowza, I think the latest zillow, Layer, etc.

Hmm, I think there are a couple more. the other issue, is that I believe in app purchases are going to require it too.
