This update has now caused my battery icon to act erratic. I had no problems with it charging before but now when I charge it, and it says it's charged, then suddenly it will go back to showing it's charging again. Very weird. Anyone else having this issue?
That's the same list for 2.0.2... maybe the region formats have been updated?
v2.1 is on Beta 4 now. I wonder if that has localisations for the countries due out on Friday. Half of then are Latin American (IOW, Spanish) but there are others that one would expect to get a native language built into the iPhone.
And just got my first email from Apple after the update at 9:29 pm:
MobileMe Update
We have already made many improvements to MobileMe, but we still have many more to make. To recognize our users' patience, we are giving every MobileMe subscriber as of today a free 60 day extension. This is in addition to the one month extension most subscribers have already received. We are working very hard to make MobileMe a great service we can all be proud of. We know that MobileMe's launch has not been our finest hour, and we truly appreciate your patience as we turn this around. Read this article for more details.
The MobileMe Team
Take your time Apple. Thank you.
Oh. I guess you have to have an MobileMe account to get the extension. Bet a lot here don't have an iPhone or a Mac/PC, let alone a MobileMe account.
Are you loving waiting for it or is this a premptive love of your iPod Touch?
No- this whine fest is amazing on here. Non- stop complaining. I love all of it!
No, seriously I've been waiting so long for this new 2nd gen iPod touch. I will order the day it's launched. Do you think it will have the same shape and material as the iPhone - meaning plastic back? Because then that means there is no more engraving- which I want (oh no I'm complaining already!).
I am very excited about the Apps( saw some this weekend on my bud's new 3G iPhone) and will renew mobileme finally as well. The weirdest thing happened though - he's showing me the Apps and the phone freezes and he has to reboot. I thought Apple would have stopped that sort of thing from cloggin the iPhone.
LOL @ the guy complaining about not being able to copy and paste. Download the SDK and get on it, sport.
I think you're showing a fundemental misunderstanding on how C&P would need to be implemented. It can't be fixed by just adding an app. Short of a pretty deep hack, only Apple can add it.

But is it just showing you more bars or are you really getting noticeably better signal stability?

SWEET! A full 3 months of MM when I have had no issues, sold my original iPhone for $480 and bought 3 years of MM Family packs for $79/each due to a price error that was still honoured. Hopefully my luck passes into my MBP purchase next month.

If it has GPS it would benefit from a plastic backing. But this is very unlikely, IMO. Since the only radios will be BT and WiFi I'm guessing it will have an aluminium back cover for engraving and to help differentiate it from the iPhone 3G.

If I renew it- right now - do you think I'll get the free 60?
Here's to that. My (original) iPhone is much less stable, post-2.0, than it was with the original line of 1.0 releases (and it's not just third party software... Apple's apps, too, display problems). But 2.0.1 gives me acceptable stability, with only a few annoyances (too many) a day... and I'm not willing to risk an update that may send stability further downhill, especially with Apple's recent QC troubles (MobileMe, iPhone 2.0, iPhone 3G). If Apple just told us what improvements we'd gain, it might make sense to spend the 30 minutes downloading, backing up, installing, and restoring. But, as it stands, these updates are increasingly mysterious and provide only vague, if any, reasons to upgrade.
I'll wait for 2.1 to be released and tested for a week or two before I update my iPhone again. \

I just recovered from a crash that bricked my 3G iPhone after the 2.0.1 update. Had to get a replacement phone. Got everything back to "normal" and would stick with it for a while before jumping in to 2.0.2. For the short time that I had 2.0.1 working, the faster response was probably due to the restart than anything else...the contacts lag showed up again after a while. Phone reception has been OK, not great, but "3" in Hong Kong is not known to have the best quality anyway.

Can you hear me now?
AT&T sucks.
I can't believe all the problems I'm reading on here tonight- is it all that bad?-really?
...waiting for my new non-phone iPod touch and loving it!
No, it's not that bad.

Anything else listed for v2.0.2?
That's the same list for 2.0.2... maybe the region formats have been updated?

Sorry to go off the thread.

Apple always giveth and taketh away.
Working great! 3G bars increased, although I never have had a dropped call even if the (3g) bars were hardly legible.
this is just annoying. I wish everyone would stop saying snappier because it's not snappier it's in your head. And the word snappier Is really gay.
OK- it's flawless!
