Please could you tell me how you did this? I can't downgrade unless I jailbreak 2.2.1 and then upgrading to official 3.0 bricks it...
3.1 killed my battery.
This post is definitely "smack-worthy".
Do you not still have to pull the phone out of your pocket to touch forward or reverse??
He means pushing one of the physical buttons to advance the track.
Wow.
pretty tough sittin behind your keyboard. Pipe down squirt.
They have fixed the high frequency noise HOWEVER..
The speaker still stays live after sending SMS, switching off and recording. The high pitch noise has been replaced with some low level snow noise. Stick the speaker up to your ear and you can clearly hear it. The noise also comes through on video recordings and you can clearly hear the hiss on playback. Again, switching to mute mode fixes this on video recordings.
Now, apart from the hiss this is additional drain on the battery during recording. I had a bug on my 3G iphone fw 2.21 where the speaker stayed live producing a slight whine and it chewed through the battery in a couple of hours. I thought the handset was faulty but I then noticed that it was making a noise. Doing a reset fixed it and it never came back. So, if the speaker is on full time during recording the iPhone is going to use more power.
Since it requires a change at the towers, it would depend on where you live. I am getting slightly faster speeds but still within the normal range.
Edit - Perhaps if it wasn't so early I would have seen that you're on Rogers and not AT&T, so maybe after all you are getting it. Download the app called Speed Test. I think it is free or .99 cents, but I use it all the time to measure my network speed. So for me, 3G is 10X faster than Edge and wifi is only 5X faster than 3G.
I'm just hoping it smooths out a few of the kinks from 3.0. I know a few people who aren't thrilled with the little lags and slowdown that resulted from the latest software upgrade.
Actually if you were smart you wouldn't update. Get more use out of the jailbreak then an official apple update until release of a jailbreak update.
THINK ABOUT IT....

Exactly. People will eventually jail break it. When they do, update!
I think this was always there. Its the sim lock function, kinda default for cell phones.
I like to use my Shure E2c or Sennheiser PX200
if apple shipped better head phones then i would consider using them
New iPhone OS 3.1 Beta 2 Feature:
Auto-brightness now activates even before you unlock the device. As soon as you press a button to turn the screen on, it will adjust to your screen brightness depending on the brightness of your surroundings. In previous OS versions, the lock screen stayed on full brightness until you unlocked your iPhone.

This will be nice in the movie theater
It's always brighter than the sun until I unlock it.
Yeah, just saying they changed the names of the buttons to 'Trim Original' and 'Save as New Clip' form 'Save' and 'Save a Copy'
I know after posting the new trim feature with beta 1 a lot of people were confused by the names so this is cool to see Apple respond by making it very clear now what you are doing when you hit the buttons.
Extremely, that's why I rarely do it unless I think I have something cool to say, but at least I don't pretend like it's not my own website.
I think it's really bad when it's irrelevant spam from someone that's only purpose is to spam, not someone that has been a member for over a year and has posted maybe 3 links to their site.
Anyone noticed you can download videos directly from messages. Before I could only download pictures from messages.
I'd post a pic, but I can't figure out how to do it on the iPhone. Coping only seems to copy the picture name.
