Does anyone have a direct link to the firmware. My iTunes is still saying 2.0 is the latest (I am in the UK - perhaps they geographically stagger release?).

I'm in the uk, downloaded it over an hour ago.

I got it about an hour ago. It didn't come up straight away and I had to click on the "Check for Update" button before it found it.
 
Just installed 2.01 then went to check for any app store updates, and, well... this 'aint right...

Mr. Lonely

Can't wait to buy a phone next year to try this stuff out. Then I'll really feel like I belong.
 
* Contacts lag is pretty much gone. This was very annoying. I have opened up apps, closed them, and then gone back into Contacts, and it still opens much quicker than it previously did.

* Haven't noticed the very annoying SMS typing lag yet. Hopefully it stays away for good!

* Safari opens faster and responds more quickly.

* Better reception?? My iPhone sits in its dock in the exact same place every day/night. After the update, I got 3G reception for the FIRST TIME while in the dock (I am in my rec room in the basement where cell reception is terrible). I loaded Google Reader and it responded very quickly. This could just be coincidence, but it's still interesting.

* Haven't checked on the "backing up." I will install a few apps tomorrow and then do a sync and see if it's improved.
 
I was about to rag on people for saything nothing but IT'S SNAPPIER, but damn, it really is! hehe

I still experience a few lags in Contacts, but not nearly as bad, and usually it's quick. The whole interface is a lot better now too.

Nice update for "bug fixes"
 
Well my 3G signal still sucks, and my city has had 3G for 2 years, it was one of the first suburbs in IL to have it...

Very confused. I am clicking "Check for updates" in iTunes and its saying 2.0 is the latest firmware available. WTF?

Don't feel bad. I live less than mile from the tower and can see it right now out my window and most of the time I have between 3-5 bars. You would think I would have 5 all the time.
 
For those with both a 1ST generation iPhone and a 3G iPhone, you will have to download the 2.01 update twice. There are different versions for each iPhone.
 
Ok one bug has been fixed that I can confirm.

Before on my iPod Touch iPhoto didnt show thumbnails for the saved images on the device, and now it works.

Minor fix but still nice to see.
 
I've had zero problems with 3G signal and backups taking a long time so those aren't issues for me. But fixing the lag in viewing contacts and while typing will be nice...very nice. Hopefully Safari is more stable as well!

Download almost done! :D
 
ugh! so far my phone says no service. im not too happy with this update. there seems to be a bug now with reception wtf!
 
I'm downloading it now and preparing to install it...

I said a little prayer to Steve Jobs that this doesn't f**k up my perfectly functional iPhone 3G. :D
