yes it delete everything but you can sync all back after...

A quick tip

By no name on 18.06.2009 - 09:06
you should be able to do the same witrh the "check for update" button. ...just hold shift and click it and you won't have to restore. ...but if your device is jailbroken, i recommend restoring because it will cause problems in the long run.
