No change here. 2-3 bars EDGE, and "Locate Me" had me in Boca Raton, FL, and I'm in the Greater San Francisco Bay Area...

2.0.2 Update?!

Hey Dude, how did you re-arrange those Apps?
keep your finger on an app and when they get jiggly, you can drag them around
I downloaded the update but my phone is auto backing up... is there any way to exit it? (there is no 'x')
Hold your finger down on an icon and when they start to wiggle, you can move them around.
Contacts come up faster, even from other apps, but that may simply be a result of my having restarting the phone shortly ago. I don't know what inefficiencies result from running app after app, and then calling up Contacts.
I know only more use will tell for sure, but so far initially my keyboard lag in the SMS app is mostly gone, but contacts still lags a little (but clears up after a few seconds of initially loading it). Safari seems to load pages a little faster (seriously) over wifi so far.
I just did a complete restore of my iPhone a couple days ago, and even after that fresh install (not restore from a backup) my phone is a bit "snappier" in those areas. With the 2.0.1 update my keyboard lag was still there from the start, so I'm somewhat hopeful that it'll remain more smooth overall... we'll see over the next few days

Arggh!
This should be so simple to fix! It only got introduced in 2.0! It's not something relatively complex like reception issues.
How have we had two bug fix releases that haven't sorted it?
Phazer
It downloads the entire operating system along with the update...
This is so if next time you're in the car for a roadtrip and your iPhone gets rofl'd, you can restore without having to download 230 MB.
That is probably cause it indexes the contacts to allow for search-as-you-type. That's the only reason I can think of as why a simple app such as a list of contacts is lagging. They should just index upon boot or when a new contact is added/deleted.
Contacts/SMS lag gone!! Thank god!
The lag is gone for me and I got 3G in my basement for the first time!! It is only one bar, but I do not live in a well covered 3G area.
EDIT: My friend has the LG Shine with 3G and always got 1 bar of 3G in my basement, but I did not, and now I do so it must be working correctly now!!

Downloaded and installed just waiting on a fast backup and will be checking for changes in speed and connectivity, fingers crossed, anyone noticed that itunes 99p rental a fish called wanda is not available for rent and is only to buy at 6.99, was looking forward to another film bargain :-( contacted jobsy and he told me he will personally see to this issue.
Well after being one of the first naysayers, here I am downloading (attempting; its been sitting at 3.7 of 241 for a while now). Hope this does something. Something more than the last one did anyway. Wouldn't take much...
2.0.2 officially the ****
finnally the contact lagging is down to one second, never noticed a major problem with sms but that seems as snappy as ever, safari runs smoothly, 2.0.1 fixed most app crashes hopefully like OS X 10 crashes will be few and very very very far between, all looks good iThanks Apple

OK I'm doing some comparison tests between my wife's iPhone 3G 16GB and my iPhone 3G 16GB. She is still on 2.0.1 and I upgraded to 2.0.2.
First, I rebooted both phones at the same time. Hers got to the springboard about 2 seconds before mine at 5 bars of 3G, whereas mine has 3 bars. These bars seem meaningless, because we'll switch, moments where she has more signal and moments where I have.
I did notice her phone was slightly faster in any given moment, such as opening the App store, opening contacts (she DOES have less though), opening settings etc.
Those who say they see a difference. Yeah... whatever. There isn't.

Not only is it not any faster, there's a new bug.
It's happened twice. Scrolling between screens, the icons go into "shake" mode where they can be moved. It usually takes a second or so of holding down to make that happen.

I doubt it, for the simple reason that doing firmware upgrades can be risky and has the potential to brick a device which would cause even more problems for Apple. I don't think they want people doing firmware updates if they don't have to.
