As far as I know the 2.0 update isn't released. People are fooling around with some beta, or previous build version prior to the final release, I see no official link on Apple's website.

You don't have 2.0 officially so you can't make a valid review of it
(assuming you are in America if not just ignore me.)
The question then is why do we have a higher build than do the official iPhones? Official is 5A345, this is 5A347...and one website seems to indicate they are the same thing...
Apple pushed this build (5A347) build onto the same XML file iTunes uses to check for updates. Apple would never let a beta enter a production environment for everyone to download.
Hey, I'm no expert! Point is that there's no button or official link on the website that Apple has said "go on guys...upgrade", so who knows what you're playing with.
There is no listed "official" build. From what I've seen on the XML files I believe 5A347 to be the "official" build with 5A345 being the previous build. Apple often makes a beta build the official build. I see it all the time with Leopard builds for developers. They are ( as the file states ) the same. The only difference may be the final readme and license rtf files that were updated prior to final release. And yes. Apple would never put a developer build in a public file.
We will see but it's my opinion that 5A347 is the final build for public consumption. And I can guarantee you the current internal build has probably surpassed 5A347 and gone on to 5A349 or 5A350 by now.
Like pfish says, the link was found in the iTunes software update XML. So the link has been seeded, but not let out of it's cage, so to speak.
It's Apple's iPhone OS 2.0 on Apple's publicly accessible server and you can use Apple iTunes to update your iPhone. It's very official. Apple just doesn't want people to upgrade until the iPhone 3G comes out.

yes totally but i think i have to just reinstall 2.0 on it ill wait till the offical dl and do a restore as a new iphone when it comes out
Success!
I did it! I went to gizmodo and downloaded the file there. It's working great and I am glad I didn't wait until tomorrow for the 2.0 to be available.
It's worth the bumps to install it.

Check the Screen shot
Hi Guys,
Did any one notice the screen shot of the Mobileme walk through. It clearly shows the phone version of 2.0.0 when showing the iPhone info screen. Its the the same for PC and Mac. Is it possible that the Jobster had predicted our over eagerness to download the unofficial version? What do you think?

You unzipped it. If you are on a mac and using safari use FF if you are using FF already dl it again and then don't unzip it then remove the .zip file. You should be good from there. Although I advise just waiting its bound to be soon
can't wait for super monkey ball on my touch..
Interesting, from the screenshots of some of the 3d games, the graphics power of these things seems to be just short of a Nintendo DS. Pretty impressive.
/edit: Honestly, from looking at these games, I don't know if I'll ever have reason to drag my PSP or DS out ever again. Apple's really outdone themselves with this thing, I'm really impressed.
