Can someone (who knows what they're talking about) tell us if this is what we early adopters should be downloading and installing?

Thanks.
Yes.
The 1,2 was the "prerelease" and today it's 1,1 "official". Official should be about 218MB and yesterday's was 225MB.
But if one was 225MB and the other 218MB something doesn't add up.
Who knows! Maybe that's why people shouldn't download before the release!
YES!! It's finally downloading (after clicking the Update button about 20 times). Bottom line: Don't give up!! Just keep clicking Update, and eventually it will download for you too!
I downloaded and installed 1,2 yesterday and am in the process of downloading the "official" release from today found at this link:

I'm going to attempt to restore from the 1,1 link above and will report back on how it goes if noone else does before I'm finished.

OK, mine's activated now. But it's trying to connect to the iTunes store, and that's taking forever. I can't use my apps until it connects to the iTunes store!

The test would be having someone with a 3G iPhone do a restore to see what version it downloads.
Yes.

Thank you. By way of updating everyone else --
I early adopted 2.0 yesterday. And now when I click "Restore" within iTunes, it is downloading the 218.2 update for me. So, you may NOT need to use the link if yesterday's process has made you... link-shy.

I think I've come to the conclusion that I'm going to just download today's version and wait until someone a bit more knowledgeable gives us a comparison or someone finds an actual difference. So far, I'm not convinced there's a difference.
I see no compelling reason to risk bricking my already 2.0 and working fine iPhone w/ the millions of people all trying to get this at the same time.
2.0 or 1.1.4
we can't seem to make our minds up...
long I get the message that 1.1.4 is the latest version, then suddenly 2.0 is available if I want to 'learn more' , not really, just download it, but since that's not an option, click 'learn more' then the iTunes store can't complete my request, so I click on 'update' again, after which 1.1.4 is the current up to date version again.... what the.....

Don't worry, I am past that bit, my iPhone is restoring my videos and music now.
I think the iTunes store is a little busy right now
I was tempted, believe me, but I don't want to part with my Customize until I know that I can get it back, so I figured I'd wait for "official" upgrade and then for dev team to pwn it.
Even if you're on yesterday's build... do you HAVE to restore back to 1.1.4 to get to the "official" 2.0, or can you just do the option-click method and select the one that came out toady?
