iPhone 2.1 Software Now Available

I have been testing it all night and I do not think 3g is any better. i can be standing in one room and I have one bar on edge, go to next room and i got 2 bars and 3g showing. two steps i loose it all. still crap. I live in major city. grr.

WOW all this hate going on in here lol…

I ACTUALLY OWN THE IPHONE 3G and I am sorry but I find all the Fanboys protecting the honor of their God sent Iphone hilarious!!! You guys LIVE to down EVERY phone on the market and apple releases this phone with more problems than any I have seen yet! lol Don’t get me wrong, I like the phone but DAMN IT HAS PROBLEMS. Fanboys might want to watch those glass houses. I am sure Steveo will get it worked out, but lay off the other phones til jobsy does so….. Thank God I kept my other phone to maintain reliability…

WTF!!

Repeat alert up to two additional times for incoming text messages??

Dramatically reduced time to backup to iTunes??

I SAY BS!!!!!

it still lagggggz with the backup…and can someone please explain the “repeated” alert for text messages =[

I sell the Iphone and while it has the best interface of any phone i’ve used… I cannot believe people would actually walk around with a busted phone not even realizing how much they are getting screwed plan wise…

less keyboard lag definately. Install of apps much faster.

But seriously can Safari stop random crashing!!!!!!! It’s not a 3rd party app. It’s the main reason I bought the freaking phone.

I skipped the last update after reading it didn’t do much, did this one because of iTunes 8.

I know 4 people who have various versions of iphones, including myself…and every one of us will agree that a Curve blows the iphone away in call quality.

Iphone: Both Speakerphone And ear piece are terrible.

On the Curve, you can hear the other person…The other person can hear you.

With the iPhone, you HAVE to wear a bluetooth in order to accomplish this.

This is why I wish my Curve was 3G…UGH

Apparently you have never used a Curve, because I guarentee you dual owners (iPhone & Curve Both) will chime in as well and confirm it as well.

AMAZING!!! what a difference, i only had 1 bar of 3G and now i have full!!! so much more responsive! like a whole different phone. The 3G speeds are consistent here in the boston area. I’ve averaged 1.4 – 1.5 mbps. I can’t believe it!

I have the 1st gen iphone, as far as I can tell there is a huge improvement on text lag and contact lookup. I have noticed no lag whatsoever(knock on wood).

Also, the battery life is tons better. I was playing with my phone yesterday after the update, usually i’ll have 20% battery life around 10-11 pm. I had a little less than half battery life, sweet!

Overall for the 1st gen iphone nice improvement. Which they would put out a update with cut and paste.

The 3G iphone blows. I spent $$$ switching 3 lines to AT&T and I get nothing but dropped calls. I travel weekly and it is a problem everywhere. KC, Dallas, Austin, etc. Edge, 3G, same problem. Upgraded to 2.1 last night, still dropping calls in KC. My wife has an AT&T Curve and it works great. My father in law has an AT&T Samsung and it works great. Neither ever a dropps call. This is my first (and last) iphone. Jobs is an arrogant lying bastard. I have never been so mad at a wireless product.

Just loaded v2.1 on my 3G iPhone–to say the difference in 3G reception is dramatic would be a gross understatement. It is full bars where it was, at best, 1 or 2 bars before. Excellent upgrade!!

Just to further add to my earlier post, after a whole day and a half of using this i can say the battery life is phenomenal now as well on top of amazing 3g coverage!! it’s at least 50% better imo. Also i get no more dropped calls and everything just works smoother, apps and all. Still get some safari crash issues sometimes here and there, but overall AMAZING UPGRADE!! It’s incredible how software modification can really increase hardware reliability!

Odd… seems that while the majority of fixes work, Safari has gotten worse. I’ve had at least 2-3 occassions/day where I’ve had to do a hard reset to get running again while running Safari. One particular site is dslreports speedtest for the iPhone… it’ll run fine the first time, but on subsequent retries it’ll sometimes freeze my device.

Well after 2.1 upgrade stuff is faster and also the signal strength is significantly better, but I still get oscilations in signal droping to edge and of course in the process droping my calls too. Apple you’re still far from reliable!

yeah I noticed that too, but I think its just a new design

I have 2 Iphone with frequet droped sighnal and calls upgraded to 2.1 Still the problem persisted, way passed the worranty. any idea how to fix. the sighnal returns while I am at the same spot after network reset
