I think downgrading not possible with non rooted devises. I don't know how much i correct if you rooted then you can install 2.3 OS again.

That is true... If you want to dowgrade, you will have to root your phone.

I'm a complete noob about this stuff, but it seems that trying to downgrade the os on a smartphone is like trying to downgrade Windows os; once you've upgraded, you have to wipe everything out and start over again.

Yes to downgrade back to a former/stock version of OS you will loose everything.
