ok apple fans, how do i update?

I have an iPhone 4, running the original iOS 6 for it.

Obviously need to update for the SSL bug (darn it the browser is pretty much the only app I use). Turned on my one windows machine, just finished backing up/synching ... but I only have 600mb free and the Apple updater says I need 3.7gb free in order to install a 1.1gb update.

Only things on my phone I really care about are my mp3 files (not stored in Music, but thru a file manager app so I can actually manage my music from my Linux boxes) and photos (in the camera roll), and my contact list.

Do I need to just wipe the phone, install the update, and then restore the media/contacts?

Or should I take this opportunity to kiss apple goodby and go get an Android based phone (I have an upgrade pending w/ AT&T) so I have more control over my device?
