Firmware 2.1 is a Winner!

Well it has been almost a month since I've updated my iPhone 3G to firmware 2.1 and I can report it has been rock solid.

What it fixed for me:

1) No more crashes - I have not had to reset the phone due to the OS being locked up. Sure the occasional app freezes but that is to be expected with early release of any software. Due to iTS review process it takes a lengthy amount of time before updates are released. Not the developers fault as they have updates pending in the system. Just visit a developer site/blog and you will see that in a lot of cases they have multiple releases in the system just pending approval.

2) Backup Time - The backup time is soooooo much faster. Maybe a function of iTunes 8 but I don't care. Its just faster.

3) App Icons stay put - Finally I can arrange my app icons in a manner that works for me and not have it move to the last screen whenever an update is released.

I'm sure I'm missing some things but I'm almost taking things for granted now as it just works smooth like you except an Apple OS product to work.
