For the first time since getting my iPhone (original) I didn't upgrade to the latest version -- 2.0.2. In iTunes I see "Update" which, when clicked, always tries to install 2.0.2. It used to be that I would click that button and it would search for the new version...

So, the question is, has anyone been through an update this way and did iTunes simply alert you when the update was available?

Nevermind -- I hit update and it notified me 2.1 was available...

Nice list, covers pretty much all of my gripes with 2.0.X. And they didn't even mention the new way Location Services works (you get the option to switch it on temporarily or permanently).

Scratch that, that's not what it's doing at all. You get two buttons, [Settings] and [OK], but hitting OK doesn't actually do anything other than close the dialog. I thought OK would enable location services for the duration of the session and switch it off automatically when you leave the application (e.g. Maps), but I guess not.
 
Mine is STILL backing up - and it's not even a quarter of the way. Oh, how the excitement has worn off. I thought backing up was meant to be snappier!?

The actual backup part of the sync process is indeed much faster, but unfortunately that's only a small part of it. Syncing contacts, mail, photos, music, videos etc it just as slow as before.
 
No Help for 3G

I was almost excited for several seconds. Turned on 3G and got 5 full bars. Pointed Safari at TestMyIphone...and the blasted thing dropped to Edge. Closed Safari, 3G returned. Lather, rinse, repeat: 3G just went away. So, at least in Killeen, TX....this update is a 3G POS. As is the phone.

ALso your first back up will always be slower than future ones as its backing the whole phone contents up.... where as future ones back up just the changes...

2.1 3G Speedtest

D/l speed: 237 Kb/s
Upload speed: 50 Kb/s

This is with 5 bars!

Great, I have a 3G with half the speed of EDGE.
 
So what is exactly is the point of backup anyways considering you can resync all your contacts, calendars, ringtones, apps from itunes, anyways. Loosing all your sms messages and some settings here or there is hardly worth waiting hours for a backup imo.

I simply did a restore as a new phone and then resync. So much faster.
 
If you tap while an iTunes song is playing, the Genius icon will appear.
I haven't tapped the Genius icon yet. I'm going to experiment with Genius on
my computer before I mess with my phone.
