UPDATE:

After spending more than a few hours trying to update my iPhone and being repeatedly visited by this:

 

 

 

 

I finally broke down and did a full restore on my iPhone with the new firmware. It is back up and the main apps I use have been downloaded again. (I chose to load them fresh from the server rather than through iTunes) I have been using it for a bit.

A few initial observations-

While it might be my imagination the device feels MUCH "zippier" now.

It is definately NOT my imagination that apps that took a tremendous amount of time to download previously now downloaded is half the time or less. I am in the same place, the WiFi connection is running at the same speed but from the app’s icon first appearing to it being loaded was… fast.

Have you loaded the new firmware? If so, I would love to hear whether or not you are seeing a difference.

 

 

 

 

iPhone firmware update 2.0.2 just arrived on iTunes.

Initial word is that it contains "bug fixes" so hopefully the connectivity issues will be resolved by it. The number of iPhone affected by these issues may be "just 2%" but 2% of millions is kinda large. While my iPhone has been quite stable I’m still downloading it right now.  and will let you know what, if any, impact we see.
