I hear you there as soon as I heard one report of something going wrong I said no, and started the waiting process. Thank God for NBC putting full episodes of The Office up.
iPhone Dev Team already jailbroke 2.0...you don't have to go back down...

I thought the file was 3g specific. Everyone is saying hold out for official release tomorrow but who says the new firmware for first gens will be available on 3g launch?If they are different files apple could wait past tomorrow to update first gens, right?
Okay folks, my apologies that I haven't answered some of the replies to me today; It's been a very busy day.
To answer the question that several users have asked both in public, and via private message, iPhone 3G is shipping with build 5A345. 5A347 is a build that was never intended for a production environment, and certainly not for installation on the original iPhone! As I mentioned earlier, it was built to be installed on iPhone 3G development test units only (note, I did not say production units), and has not been tested or designed for the original iPhone.
Build 5A347 contains a significant amount of debug code and that is, in part, the reason for the slowdowns iPhone classic users are seeing. As also mentioned previously, when 32k of debug data is collected, the build is designed to dump the data to a location which no production iPhone supports, and hence you're seeing timeouts while the write process attempts to do its job.
As far as other slowdowns are concerned, any time iPhone 3G specific code attempts to execute (location, contacts, pictures, and web are the most prevalent) a timeout is going to occur, and this will be seen to the end user as a momentary freeze. As presented by others earlier, while the code base is the same between the original iPhone and iPhone 3G 2.0 software, 5A345 has code modules active which can detect which hardware it is running on (touch, iPhone original, iPhone 3G, etc.) and handle certain cases appropriately, given the hardware, and thereby prevent the momentary slowdowns that some users are seeing.
In plain English what I am saying:
- 5A345 does not have the slowdowns some users are seeing.
- Furthermore, 5A347, the build which many on here are now running was not designed for anything but iPhone 3G developmental units. That is to say, running it on the original iPhone is not a tested or intended platform.
- Slowdowns that users are seeing are caused specifically by running an incorrect version of the firmware on unsupported units.
I hope that this information helps clear up some lingering questions.

really. I would like to take ur word for it but all I've read about for 2.0 is in regards to 3g. Where did you read that?
The real 2.0 seems to suddenly be out. My wife just plugged her iPhone into her MacBook Air after she got home from work and it started downloading the update automatically, and it only weighs in at 161.2MB.
Not for me ='[
And I'll find the spot where it says the 11th

What? No way! Mine doesn't show that in iTunes! *repeatedly hitting Check for Update*

Just plugged in my iPhone into my computer and checked for an update but it said 1.1.4 is the latest version.
