iPhone 2.1 Rocks! No more Lags!
 

Just updated the iphone to 2.1 and it finally works smoothly like it worked with 1.1.4 :thumbsup No more address book lags or text messaging lags.
Also the unlock stays alive when you update it, only the jailbreak is gone :thumbsup
Happy updating!

my biggest problem atm is the call drops. i'll be sitting in one spot talking and the call would drop it like its hot... hopefully this new update will help that -- unless it's an at&t thing...

Never had that problem.. T-mobile over here.
Only my Wlan is breaking up every other minute.

I hate my iPhone
I had a conversation, ended the call and put the phone down and continued taling to the person next to me in the car.

The person I called said the phone redialed them, they picked up, and heard the entire conversation I had with the person I was talking to.
Now Im afraid to use my iPhone because I dont know when a call is ended or not.
I wish I could return it.

downloading it now, looking forward to the texting upgrade

Updating mine right now.

Yep same here.. i am pretty happy with the 2.1 as well..

Sell it. I'm sure it will sell right away.

For me it works perfect, especially since the 2.1 update.
Best phone ever for me! In combination with MobileMe and a to-do list that I set up to sync tasks with outlook I have it all covered. I tried tons of phones and not a single one worked that well.

Yes it does rock! But it's not perfect yet... And yes, there is a jailbreak, dev guys released it few days ago :) U can use either QuickPWN or PwnageTool, only for Macs tho ;)

thanks for the heads up I'm updating now

Anyone got a 3G Unlocked?

Let me know. Still screwing around with unlocking it, Need some directions.

there is no unlock for 3G

Congrats

I was looking at moving from Verizon to try out the new 3G phone, but I am hearing that they are having problems with the the new model,

Anyone have any input???

If you are in Europe you should buy the 3G from Italy, it's not locked there.

Italy, France, Belgium also have unlocked phones for sale..
I got one from Czech, unlocked as default as well..

Google seems to disagree with you

http://www.google.com/search?q=unlock%203g%20iphone

He meant that there is no SOFTWARE unlock for 3G. Of course using TurboSIM or other cards cloning tools will make your phone work, but you got to have that card, and still it won't be unlocked by our means of unlocked, only 'cheated' that there is appropriate AT&T card.

2.1 has really improved performance :)

Oh, so he meant jailbroken, not unlocked?

Like this?

I am buying one today!

this update is great. no problems with drop calls either.

Getting ready to update mine now

That update was a pain in the ass

after a full day in ICQ i have grown to love you.. i will see you soon and I'll bring the candles..

yes, yes. You can use it as a computer device, but not as a phone. LOL An irony :)

I just upgraded. I don't notice any difference. It still has those slow annoying transitions when switching between screens.

works great here, I love it :)

The only problem I notice from time to time is that some applications crash

I need to update mine

We orderded a rebelsim, hope that works.

Anyway did play with it and looks like a nice phone. Better than the ones before. Hope the phone itself will work beter.

did read bad stories about dropped calls, bad signal. but new firmware should solve that. can anyone confirm this?

I think thats only a 3g problem. I got the first gen iPhone and never had these problems.

the 3g is weird about calls sometimes, keeps them on after you hang up and drops them randomly etc

so better get iphone classic :D

The dropped calls issue is widely being reported as fixed with the 2.1 update. Also the battery life is WAY better.

Has anyone unlocked the 3G or what?

There is no unlock. If theres one you will read it first on http://blog.iphone-dev.org/

Thanks for the headsup, will update tonight

I switched from Verizon a few months ago just so i could get the 3G . Verizon are a great company and i wish Steve Jobs had partnered with them in place of AT&T.

AT&T are in my opinion the worlds worst company. Dropped calls, 5 days before voicemails show up, etc etc ?
If the iphone has issues im sure in part they are due to AT&T

I agree with the others, the 2.1 software is much better and faster :thumbsup

Upgraded to 2.1 just 2min ago, its neat, and seems stable :)


went from 1.1.4->2.1!

Now i have Cydia

how do i make mp3 ringtones? is there some app for this? or possible on board?

use GarageBand on your mp3 to convert it into a ringtone then upload it to the phone :thumbsup
