You're right. I was up for 24 hours when I wrote that. I meant that I'd reverts back to portrait mode if you laying down with your phone. Now, as long as for keep the home button upwards, I'd won't.
I probably should have posted this here in the first place, but I was so excited to discover it, that i didn't think to:
iPhone no longer forgets that tracks were played in iPod app!

not sure if this was said...but two huge things that made me go to 2.2 is the fact that when you update your applications in the App Store you can do an UPDATE ALL option now...and it does not make a second install like it used to, and put it in the first open slot, it just reinstall basically, over where the app was, so you do not have to move them around anymore after updating!
I don't know what to tell you, but 2.1 fixed the long backup times for me.
The link to the security fixes at the top of the thread appears to be broken. I think this is the correct link:

Lots of fixes.

Do u have facebook or Myspace installed? I find that having them installed causes my backup times to take a long time. Deleting them speeds things up, usually.
Vcards now recognized in mail
Hi guys. I read through all 21 pages but didn't find this mentioned anywhere. If you receive a vcard in mail it now gets recognized correctly and the contact to address book. Also in mail when you get a zipped file mail seems to recognized the format if the file within the zipped file (if it is a format understood by mail) and shows you the correct icon. However I have not been able to successfully open such an attachment. Having trouble with that but the vcards work perfectly.

I'm not sure if this has always been a feature of the iPhone or already been listed in this thread but I noticed today when I click the sleep and home button at the same time it takes a snap shot of my screen. Whether it's a game, email, or webpage. If this has already been posted then please remove and the rest of u save ur sacarsam.

I noticed this today while driving my car through a dead spot while downloading an application:
As it was downloading, I drove through a dead spot and lost service. The applications went from "Loading" to "Waiting..." I have never scene this before and recall before that if this were to happen prior to 2.2, the app would have to be redownloaded. It's a nice welcomed new feature!
Here's a screenshot:

ive got a new feature.....................
less crashes
What firmware are you running??
I dont understand. It seems like they always tell us that "stability/less crashing" will be fixed along with fewer dropped calls but it never seems to do anything for me. Granted some days are worse than others but still. I really wish apple would let firefox in the appstore so we could see if it is all mobile safari or not. Sometimes I just feel like throwing my phone and then I have to remeber I was one of the impatient ones that paid $500 dollars for mine. haha.
So, in a sense, I guess what I am really trying to say, I wish apple would give our phones an firmware comparible to 10.6: speed, stability, and no bloat. They just keep adding features and options when they still don't have all of the original bugs worked out.
Just my 2Cents for the night.
I haven't noticed this before. It seems to be only on the Apple webiste, but you can now tap to slide the product menu bar.
I'll post a picture as soon as I get home to my computer.
