Thats the spec for the update I've just done. I can't see any change at all other than single home button click now shows camera icon instead of double click.

Whats 5.1 got that 5.01 hasnt? (not sure if i will bother updating at all to be honest if all you get is a camera icon on the lockscreen which i already have anyway with a cydia tweak?)

Fixes for the bugs that 5.0.1 had of coarse. Supposedly.
 
Ignoring bugfixes, are there any actual features added? (new features not just cosmetic changes like different telco logos)

I read somthing about face detection but Im not sure if this applies to a iphone4 or not (whether its a new feature or a bugfix applicable only to a different device)

Google is not my friend today, i seem to be doing circles with the same information just rehashed makes it hard for clarification

If you have jail broken iphone, its recommended that you do not upgrage any way.
 
yeah might skip it I think. I notice a tethered JB is out already for 5.1 - thats fast! perhaps a untethered JB isnt too far off anyway :)

The Tethered JB on 5.1 is only on pre-A5 devices. Since there's a bootrom exploit that will always exist on the iPhone 4 and previous iPhones, there will always be a Tethered JB for them.
 
Just downloaded the update and I know have 4g on the screen where it was 3 g before the update on my 4s. Did the update on my wife's 4 and it stayed 3G.

Cheers for the heads up on that - I was unaware thats how it worked :)
