New iPhone launch today

[sn00p]

For me 2.0 is a LOT buggier than 1.1.4 was, guess they've added a lot but it's watered down the reliability of it no doubt. I find the biggest issue is Safari crashing, then 3G just not working (failing to load), GSM not picking back up quickly or at all after being on tube, slow and laggy menu's.

I've seen all manner of random things, but an order of magnitude less than what I experienced on my N80 which was quite frankly, unsuable!

Apple have a good history of performance enhancements with OSX, pretty sure that these problems with the menus and typing are a blip in the initial 2.0 firmware and normal service will be resumed shortly.

Have to say I'm bloody impressed with the 3G surfing! Maps has already been a life saver on more than one occasion.

Battery life is roughly the same for me with the 3G handset as it was with my original iPhone.

Getting half what I did out of my original one still.

It's such a shame that the battery is pooh.

I really want to get the 3g version but it's the 18month contract which is annoying me.

Hence why I still have the first generation but I quite fancy getting the GPS and the extras too.



Lovely phone, best £329 I have spent.

 

[Daz]

3G is worth the upgrade alone.

Battery life is fine.. I hammer my phone, and it still lasts a day, and that's without docking it at all.

 

[cava83]

Well, when a 16gig one is available in the stores, I will be getting it, can't wait to try the visual voicemail

 

[FiXX]

visual voicemail is not what it sounds, its just normal voicemail but it tells you who its from before you listen to it lol

 

[Adams_16v]

^^ still good tho, i fookin hate regular voicemail on a mobile. pain in the arse listening to 4 messages to get the the one you want!

 

[sneeks]

Visual voicemail is excellent

 

[sn00p]

visual voicemail is not what it sounds, its just normal voicemail but it tells you who its from before you listen to it lol

In what way? lol

It shows a list of voicemails (visual) and lets you pick which one to listen to!!

Updating now!

 

[Daz]

Ahh... no more laggy contacts!

Should also fix the crashing Safari too I think?

 

[Gareth]

[Rasclart]

Sweet just about to do mine!

 

[Rich]

A job for this evening then.

 

[sn00p]

Mine just finished updating, will see how it gets on in use now....

 

[sneeks]

Read about the update while sitting in the train this morning, will update tonight.

 

[Gareth]

keyboard is much improved.

 

[The Hoff]

Super, thanks.

 

[Initiale]

Just updated mine, hopefully will crash less now, was getting v.annoying.

 

[DaveLiquid182]

where do I get this update then?

 

[sneeks]

Connect to iTunes and hit the update button. Just updated my iPhone.

 

[DaveLiquid182]

can't see update in iTunes :S

 

[sneeks]

Connect your iPhone, select it from the list in iTunes, click the Summary tab and then click 'Check for update'

 

[The Hoff]

Not had any crashes yet, better keyboard responsiveness for sure. Just hope that as rumoured they managed to squeeze another hour from the battery.

 

[cava83]

Wonder if it will work with my first generation jailbroken + activated one...

 

[Justin]

I take it I shouldnt update my first gen iphone?

 

[Tom]

i wouldnt if its been pwned

 

[The Hoff]

The update closes an exploited security hole which stops them working on current jailbreaks.

There's a new hardware hack out at the end of the month, requires you to cut up your SIM and put it on a new SIM which harbours a chip.

 

[FiDoDiDo]

Has anyone had a problem with push email since the update?

I've not seen any improvements since the update, still as buggy as before for me?

 

[sn00p]

Has anyone had a problem with push email since the update?

I got some overnight, but it doesn't appear to be working since this morning.

Edit:

We are not alone. Seems to be a lot of people reporting this....

 

[Initiale]

BTW is there a way to zoom in when reading email? HTML emails come up tiny on screen... or do I need new eyes?

 

[MaLicE]

plus they havent sorted the stupid txt msg tone stopping thing and also txts dont save in the inbox in the order you got them, it just makes it up lol
