Bug fixes I've noticed thus far:
Google Maps: Before, if you used your fingers to stretch and expand a map, if you touched the URL or bottom bar, the map would shoot off to a new center. Very disconcerting. It doesn't do that now.
Calculator: The calculator used to do an annoying thing when you launched it and started punching numbers. Sometimes it would start concatenating to the end of whatever number was already on the screen from previous usage. Now, when launched, if you start tapping numbers, they replace what was already there. Nice.
Ear volume: My Iphone had "reasonable" volume in the ear speaker. It seems to be significantly louder. i tend to drop it down to 4 or 5 in normal room environment instead of 8 or so. Very nice.
Ipod Speaker volume: I can now play songs louder without as much distortion through speaker on bottom of phone. nice.
Ipod playing while surfing: Before, it you started the iPod playing and started surfing in Safari, within minutes especially if browsing a heavy javascript page, the music would crash and quit playing. I've been surfing and podding for 20 minutes with no crash. Very, very nice.
I'm happy!![]()

and it is taking a while. especially halfway thru, the updates gets even slower. be patient guys!
Because the person who I was respoding to was also an iFuntastic user, said he lost his mail settings, etc. Since I used iFuntastic, and am experiencing teh same issues, I am guessing I will see teh same behavior. We shall see after it's done syncing I guess.
Seems like no one has noticed this and it isn't even listed in the new DOCS ONLINE.
There is now the OPTION in MAIL SETTINGS to BCC YOURSELF on all mail. It used to be CC. Don't know why it isn't listed in the UPDATED MANUAL which is actually dated as AUGUST 1 so maybe it'll be in there tomorrow? Anyway, just thought I'd point it out for people.
No, I'm pretty sure it was BCC before. I was already using it.
I actually had someone verify it before they UPDATED and it was CC before.
iTunes is set to check automatically every week or so -- I would not read this as a recommendation of when the next update might come.iTunes is going to check for iPhone updates on 8/7/07 maybe they will release another update around then... but I am not expecting anything till Leopard.
it does not affect hacks already done in iphone... (for the curious out there)
EDIT: 400th post!
Thanks to you all for your comments and insights...yeah, I'm more calm now. Looks like there's a pattern for iFuntastic fans during this update - ya gotta restore. Oh well, just takes a bit to put everything back the way I want it (including the wallpaper, fer cryin' out loud!)
When I mentioned I "lost my mail" what I really meant was that I just had to choose my client again - it came up with the choices (.mac, yahoo mail, etc.) so I chose .mac, entered my user name and password again, and the mail came FLYING in - gotta admit, it seemed wicked fast. So no big deal there.
Had to re-enter the password for my home Wi-Fi. No biggie. (again, this sort of stuff is prolly expected with a *restore* - some (most?) of you good folks out there didn't need to *restore* as the update noticed that My Precious needed an Exorcism.What-Ev.
I haven't noticed louder speaker volume, either in the earpiece or the built-in bottom speaker. Everything else nominal.
Thanks, I was wondering if it would change my ringtones or reposition my home screen icons.it does not affect hacks already done in iphone... (for the curious out there)

Did you loose your ringtones after the restore?Well, for me, with custom ringtones, custom home icon positions, and custom Carrier logo hacks applied, attempting to install this update resulted in iTunes deciding that my iPhone had to be restored (and the iPhone agrees, believe me, I tried to get around a restore). Oh well, I guess that's how things go when you apply unsupported hacks.
My battery level now goes all the way to the top and the small batt icon at the top has a plug inside telling me it's fully charged. It's never done this on my phone!
