Upgrade from Pwned 2.0 works
I have successfully upgraded my Pwned original iphone (edge) to 2.0.1.
All went smoothly. I didn't have Cida installed so don't know if this will work/still be installed on the phone after the update.
All my apple store apps are still there and the phone doesn't require you to reactivate after this update.

Well I've just experienced a persistent bug from 2.0 on 2.0.1...tried to post here via iPhone. Typing the reply was slow as molasses, then stopped responding altogether, then Safari crashed and ate my post.
As on 2.0, the freshly opened Safari didn't crash (this time).

Netshare has got to be one of the worst applications ever written. 
It's definetly not worth my ten dollars.

really? when I updated from 1.1.4 to 2.0, it took my about 30-40 minutes total. And backups aren't slow! Mine just zips through. And it does not wipe your phone... it didn't do that to mine, for the 2.0.1 update, although it did for the 2.0. Stop complaining, just be patient, it doesn't take forever and I have lots of apps (20 or so), a few games, and more than 2.5gb of music/videos/etc..
My install went smoothly. I had performed a full backup a few days ago after an App Store crash wiped my phone. Since having performed a full backup my subsequent backups haven't been as lengthy and seem to reflect whatever changes occur to the phone between syncs.
I think with the full backup already performed the install went far more smoothly and rapidly than others have reported. I suspect that the solution to the long backup issues is to permit the phone to perform a full backup. At least that seems to be the case in my situation.
Hope this helps.

nope.
oh yeah... i'll be installing this *real* soon.
right. after my first 3G froze up constantly and became completely bricked, i returned it for a replacement sunday. thanks but no thanks for the update guys. i'll wait another month, at least.
to the rest of you... good luck.

Can't do it. It does a mandatory back up before upgrading the firmware, i can't exit out of that backup.
I'm still waiting on them to update AIM with the push features.
same here as well as push myspace and facebook for when u get comments and stuff. id also like to see push app updates so u dont have to go into the app store to check for updates. and this is random but a good tide app would be awesome. i would love to have an app that can tell you the days tide report as well as a few days in advance (there is a web app but it isnt very good for viewing the next couple of days)
Interestingly, my last backup took over an hour... then I ran it again manually without having even disconnected the iPhone, and it took < 4 minutes. I'm updating some apps now (new AOL IM, and Radio) then I'll backup again.
Is the new Modem firmware what's helping some of us with better 3G reception?
Only a few points to make:
Backup during sync is super quick now, I wonder if it even backs up apps now.
On both of my iPhones, I now get one bar in my house. On my 3G iPhone under 2.0, I could get 3G upstairs in a back room, now no 3G anywhere in my house. i haven't been outside yet to check the signal, I will later.
I may go back to 2.0 due to better signal or at least more bars indicating a better signal.

Mine's done! The whole process from downloading to installation completed took less than .5 hr.

okay so maybe im doing something wrong?
i don't notice much of a difference at all...it actually kinda seems worse
ive never had a keyboard lag and i still dont
but contacts takes about 5 seconds to open.....sms is taking anywhere from 5-15 seconds to open which is annoying
lastly.....my phone won't let me open up settings....it freezes on a blank screen and i have to hold the home button for 15-20 secs to force quit....
anyone else having these problems?

your back up time is proportional to how much your phone changed since the last time you backed it up. If you install or remove a bunch of apps it will take a while to back up. people saying their back up times are faster probably havent changed much on their phone since their last backup.
