I just jailbroke my AT&T iPhone today using the most current version of ziphone. After showing my dad some of the apps, he wants me to jailbreak his(also on AT&T) so he can have the Camera Pro app. He asked me a question though and I am unsure of the answer. If he doesn't like the jailbroken phone, what exactly needs to be done to restore it? I assume he could just go to iTunes and click restore since he is already with AT&T and all his contacts are already stored in his address book on his computer. Is this all he would have to do? If not, please let me know what he would need to do. Thanks for the help!

EDIT: sorry for the multiple posts, I was having an issue with my mouse.
 
hold down both the top and home button until it shows an image of a dock connector and then connect it to itunes, you will 'restore' it. It wipes the phone, and you are back to square 1

When you connect to iTunes do you need to set up as a new phone or can you restore from a backup?

no. simply hold down the top and home bottom untill the phone shuts off. hold the home bottom and then dock the iphone while still holding the home botton. itunes will open up and it will tell you to restore it. it will also ask if you want to sync the iphone with the back up.
