I had almost given up on this being released. Started to get the feeling it was just going to be all in one with the bigger 2.1 release.

Guys, let’s face it – BT audio is pretty crap. iPods and iPhones have decent audio quality, but why destroy it with A2DP? This should be at the bottom of the wishlist. And anyone who boasts about the features their BB has are missing the point. BB doesn’t have 16GB integrated, nor the screen size, nor the intuitive interface of the iPhone. BBs are still better if you’re hardcore into mail on the go, but for anything multimedia, iPhone has it hands down.

Apple has released a software update for the IPhone version 3G. The software version is 2.0.1. Here are some of the changes I noticed.
1) The backup are much faster.
2) Keypad loads quicker.
3) Screen rotation in Safari appears to be smoother.

since the 2.0 upgrade
phone won’t sync with outlook calendar
can’t send e-mail or reply to e-mails received
has anyone heard exactly when this 2.0.1 will be available? I’m not easy to anger but I gotta tell ya since upgrading to 2.0 my fist gen phone may as well be a paper weight. No help from AT&T or Apple either. I just wish I’d never upgraded to 2.0. This just plain sucks.

A 50% decrease is A LOT.

If the update is in the works for 2.0.1 I hope that apple would really look into allowing the apple tv to search the web I don’t think that that would slow down any of apple computer products in fact I think that it would push apple further away from others. as a iphone first gen owner and apple tv owner I think this is the step needed to put apple tv on the map
the remote using the iphone is great but it just makes me wonder when oh when is apple going to take that next step like the phone if any one can bring the package to the masses it APPLE.

I’m also having the volume problem, along with the crashing apps on my 3G maybe that’s what the up date is fixing it’s a big problem just a bit annoying! Also I had a samsung blackjack before my iPhone 3g and wouldn’t even make it a full day on the extended battery. 3g eats battery power, that’s it no if ands or buts about it. Thing is, with the iPhone you can run wifi or edge if you don’t need 3g, which on a college campus like I’m on I never need it. And because it charges USB there are very few places where you can’t charge it. The battery issue isn’t that bad, it’s small compared to the other greatness you get from this phone.

Perhaps they figured out how to put the todo lists from iCal on the thing. It is seriously beginning to drive me nuts not to have this integrated…

I have an EDGE model with 2.0, and I have had several bugs.
Crashing Apps,
huge delay looking up contacts and calender,
volume changing,
auto-lock time changing,
apps locking up for 30 sec.

I think I saw a windows logo when i reset my phone last time….

Maybe with 2.0.1 apps will launch faster!!

My volume also keeps lowering, apps also going down on startup.

My volume keeps lowering by it’s self…. is there anyone else experiencing this problem

I don’t understand. Apple said repeatedly that the reason the iPhone originally had EDGE was for the battery life. People whined and cried about the lack of 3G. They give people a 3G iPhone and then people whine and cry about battery life. You get one or the other. Don’t like the battery life? Turn off 3G. 3G chips are battery hogs. I think Apple has done well implementing 3G without decreasing battery life all that much. Would I like it to last longer? Of course, but it makes it through a day.

In Safari, on certain web pages, when entering text in input fields, after each character the browser jumps to the top of the page the quickly jumps back to the input field. for example at wikipedia.com it will do this. in 1.1.4 it did not do that, when entering data it just stayed focused on that text field.

slightly off topic Itunes is 7.7 buggy under windows. On my work XP computer, Itunes will load (seen in task manager but does not appear beyond that, no program windows or in task bar) if “networks are enabled” I assume its trying to access web through blocked port. But if I disable both network cards before I start Itunes, Itunes sees this immediately, appears as it should, but compains it cannot access itunes store.

I hope it incorporates the bluetooth echo fix!!!

hope it is an update. 2.0 is ehhhhh. noticable lag. random backups in itunes 7.7 (which is slow as hell as well)…and the backups take forever too.

Me and my friends have been having a problem with apps crashing on the iPhone after synching to iTunes.

Every time you synch to iTunes, whether you downloaded the app there or on the phone, the app either gets corrupted or the OS can’t handle it. At first, the app just quits. Then, after you try and restart it a couple of times iPhone gives up and crashes.

I hope 2.1 fixes this. Only solution I know is to delete your apps from both the phone and iTunes, download them again on your phone, and then set your iTunes NOT to synch apps until the bug fix happens.

Pretty sloppy, Steve. If I wanted this kind of crap, I would have bought a Microsoft product.

no bugs – you are lucky. This 2.0 code is really straining itself on my EDGE iPhone. Listening to music and doing anything else (calendar, email, omnifocus) will often result in the “beach ball” effect cause the music playback to stutter and the app I am working on to freeze for up to 30 seconds

Battery life of iPhone 3G is better than other 3G devices.

“thats y i love my BB 8320 curve. it already have A2DP. The iphone is finally getting features blackberry already have.”

BlackBerry is still behind in features the iPhone already has … features that are in all high end phones that leave BB in the 90’s. No Desktop-like web browsing experience on BB wha? No HTML email until September (officially) wha? No modern applications (all look like Apple Newton era throwbacks) wha? BlackBerry is an extremely aged unit and you can tell. The ONLY thing it does better than anyone else is push email.

Now you just have wait for Blackberry to get the functionality that the iPhone already has. They have had years to sort it out and now they have to play catchup with the iPhone. I must be galling to you.
