They never ever said it would be in this update. They only said it'd probably be available in September. Last I checked, there is still two weeks + left in September. Even if it doesn't get released before the end of the month, they didn't pinky promise or send everyone an email saying that it would def be available. It is not hidden in 2.1 either. If it was there and functional, I'm pretty sure they'd let everyone know.
Got a tip for us?

I'm in Tigard, OR (Portland suburb) and the blue dot is right smack on top of my house...
Did you hard reset yet?
I did. Just updated, shortly after reboot saw the message "No service"- Switches the phone off, than after 2 minutes on. Now I have from 3 to 5 bars of service in 3G, whether I had only 1 to 2 before the update. I hope it is not only the grafic what has been changed.
?
Not sure why this matters-once you put the new firmware in-the phone doesn't know the difference...

Maps always functioned with location services off. it just didn't track you with GPS or cell tower triangulation. If maps just didn't work at all, that's a unique problem to your phone.
Just finished the process on my 2G iPhone. Very quick. Whole thing took less than 20 minutes. I'm most interested in messing around with the genius playlist thingy.
I skipped the 2.01 and 2.02 updates and now I'm glad I did. Now all I need is the push capability that'll hopefully be in the next update and I'll be sound as a pound.....

What about PUSH for apps?
okay now seriously....
Where is the background PUSH service? This should have been up months ago
AIM is kind of worthless without PUSH, as well with many other Apps.
Does ANYONE have a working PUSH service for there Apps?

i've downloaded the 2.1 file it was taking forever from itunes how do i install it?? cheers in advance
Related: when you "power off" the screen, video pauses but audio does not. I know this sounds like a good idea, but most of the video I "watch" is news shows (Daily, etc.) where the video is not all that interesting. An option would be nice...

If it's done downloading, click your iPhone in the devices list in the left column. You should see the update button on the main page.
I'm inclined to call this update "AWESOME" even though it should have been like this from the get-go. Good work, I think Apple has made up for all the hassles with this... Everything seems to be fixed now - at least for me. I am finally able to use my iPhone 3G like the old one
Well, it hasn't fixed mine, but what I did notice is there was the fix that worked sometimes when you hooked up your phones, then after 5 mins when the phone goes dim, then you restart it 3 times. It does it automatically for you. But I have let mine running doing this and it hasn't fixed it.
Nope. It will hopefully appear in 2.2 of more likely in 2.3. This pretty crappy, of course. But if you could not live without it, go buy Nokia Smartfone, they have the feature...
iPhone 2.1 Update Stalling on Backup
Anyone else having a problem where the backup is taking 2+ hours before the update? I am still waiting here and getting angry.

Dude did you ever got to houston. Maybe you didnt click on the eye icon on the bottom right and is display the last place you did locate. By default it doesnt start to locate where you are at. Click on the icon. Now if you did then take it to the store and have it checked out.
What's so funny? Works great for me. The only problem is knowing which carrier to put after the @ sign.
