Firmware update 2.1 for the iPhone - the one expected to fix most major bugs in the iPhone and finally make it as it should have been at launch.
At least this time we get a lengthier description than just a simple "bug fixes":
- Decrease in call set-up failures and dropped calls
- Significantly better battery life for most users
- Dramatically reduced time to backup to iTunes
- Improved email reliability, notably fetching email from POP and Exchange accounts
- Faster installation of 3rd party applications
- Fixed bugs causing hangs and crashes for users with lots of third party applications
- Improved performance in text messaging
- Faster loading and searching of contacts
- Improved accuracy of the 3G signal strength display
- Repeat alert up to two additional times for incoming text messages
- Option to wipe data after ten failed passcode attempts
- Genius playlist creation
[Update]
If you're having issues syncing your iPhone 2.1 with iTunes, see if this helps:
- Unplug your iPhone and turn it off.
Hold the power button at the top until the red slider appears and power it down completely. - Quit iTunes 8
- Relaunch iTunes 8
- Plug in iPhone - DO NOT TURN IT ON FIRST. Make sure it's still off completely from step 1.
- Should sync normally
