mail
I think this is new.
Email accounts acting better, or at least how it should act.
Before: I had few mail accounts setup (gmail, yahoo japan etc.) and I always had more than 100 email in each account, and my setting was to load 100 email. It first showed me 100 mail when i setup, but then it will not receive new mail after that unless I erase some mail. Anyone else?
After: Mail keeps receiving new mail even after 100 mail in an account, automatically.

toothbrush in the speaker?
ok, so this is really weird. If you stick the brussles of a tooth brush into the speaker if my iPhone, it gets way!!!! Louder. My speaker is useless as a speaker phone, so I tried to clean it. Does not remain at this volume only when bristles are pushed in side.

Upgraded iActivator'ed iPhone to 1.0.2
Updated my iPhone to 1.0.2 that had been hacked to work with a previous Cingular SIM card via iActivator. I'd not made any other modifications to the phone. My process was:
1) Attempting upgrade forced me to do full reload to default 1.0.2 image
2) Used iActivator again to jailbreak, push new activation plist, put back into jail
3) iTunes then allowed me to restore my last back (prior to upgrade attempt)
4) iTunes re-synced my media
A bit of effort, but good that iActivator and jailbreak are still working.
BTW Prior to #2 - the new firmware image gets downloaded to /Users/<username>/Library/iTunes/iPhone/iPhone Software Updates/iPhone1,1_1.0.2_1C28_Restore.ipsw
I copied it, change the extension to .zip, then <ctrl> click and selected open with stuffit expander to create a directory for iActivator and jailbreak to use.
I'd also imported all my photo roll pics into iPhoto first.
Good luck.

I'm amazed! Not that it would make it louder, but that you would stick a toothbrush in a $600 phone....
Maybe you're joking
speaker phone fixable?
ok so no joke. My speaker phone on my iphone has been useless since I bought it on june 29th.. I noticed there was some "shmeg" is a few of the speaker holes. after poking them with a tiny pin, the volume increased , ever so slightly. tonight I tried cleaning the speaker hole with a toothbrush, and when I pushed the bristles hard into the speaker of my f@#%ing 600 dollar phone, the speaker worked nearly as good as any of those free phones you can get. Now I dont want to carry around a toothbrush to use my speakerphone, but it seems a lot of others find the speaker phone to be useless due to lack of volume. IT got MUCH louder when i stuck a freaking toothbrush in there. Is my phone defective? is the speaker's protective foam in the first batch of iphones too thick? WTF. If anyone can repeat this, please dispute my insanity.

Is it me, or has the 'animation' that the icons do (move from the center outward) when you click on an application icon slowed down some. I thought it was really fast before, now seems sluggish by just looking at the animations.

I'm not convinced it isn't hardware. Too many people that claim iPod isn't crashing on their iPhone. Mine crashes very regularly, and apple is wanting to take it in for repair. I'll let them waste their time and money, checking out my phone. And, I suggest others with the issue do the same. Its a joke for apple to claims this is the best iPod ever, yet mine won't even play music, while doing other tasks.
If its hardware then I want a new phone. If its software I think they need more pressure to fix it. Two months and two updates is patience enough.
Sorry, I'm a little leery of sticking a toothbrush in my $600 phone, but I think you're onto something. How convenient if there were just bristles sticking out of the speaker ALL THE TIME, cause hey, dental health is important, and fusion of devices is what iPhone is all about.
My iphone appears to be very stable when listening to music and viewing webpages with Safari. I used to crash every single time... so far it hasn't crashed yet.
People, I totally appreciate your optimism, but it seems that most don't actually realize what Flash is. Flash is first and foremost a vector-based animation engine. Originally, it was most commonly used to make flashy animated menus for websites and a lot of 2D animated cartoons were created with it. It's literally an animation package. That is, people import pictures and define shapes and then place them on the canvas and create a script that moves them all around scaling and twisting and animating each character on the screen.
Traditionally, the computer reads the flash file and then your flash plugin actually renders the animation in real time similar to how 3D games are rendered in realtime. Years later Adobe added the ability to output non-interactive flash content to streaming video formats and Flash became popular as a streaming video tool. But that is only one small piece of what Flash is. So while, yes, h.264 streaming would be easy to support, there's still the other 99% of Flash that would have to be implemented including the realtime rendering engine and interactive features.
As others have pointed out, that's not just a matter of CPU power. There are technical issues such as the lack of a "mouse over" event. A lot of flash content is interactive with the mouse and rely's heavily on the mouse over event to trigger certain parts of animated menus or interactive games.
With the lack of obvious fixes or enhancements, I wonder if this update was more about behind the scenes preparation, for perhaps something like a ringtones store addition to iTunes, or some other as yet to be revealed functionality.
There's only so much room on an iPhone. How many 3mb updates that don't seem to do anything can we afford to store?

How much free space do you have on your phone? I found that when I have less than say 250MB of free space it starts to crash. I suspect it uses the space as swap space or similar. When you haven't got any space, you get crashes, probably due to memory issues...
Just a thought. I had crashes constantly but since giving myself 250MB of free space (actually a little less since I took a bunch of pictures) I haven't had any issues...
be well

An update of a given size does not necessarily reduce the free space on the iPhone by that much. In fact, a large update could actually INCREASE the space available. Think about it, some of the included files are replacing other files. While larger files would be the expected norm, smaller replacement files are probably not terribly rare in software updates.
I think the real story here is simply that Apple is providing updates. 2 in 2 months. Fabulous performance, whether for bug fixes or software improvements, it proves their commitment to the market. I've never had a Blackberry so I don't know how well they did as they evolved their devices, but Palm sucked.
Overall the iPhone is awesome. We all know there are many missing features, but I'm convinced that Apple will provide continuous improvement to our phones.
As far as 3rd party apps are concerned....I'd steer clear and let the iPhone evolve for a bit.

Flash used to be an animation tool, but it is not now. The Flash 9 player has a lot of horsepower hidden inside of it. Having the Flash 9 player would allow developers an avenue to build all sorts of web applications for the iPhone. Flash player 9 is used to deliver Flex applications so almost anything is possible once the Flash player is made available.
It is more than just showing a video in flash. I could personaly write a chat app, or a video conferencing app, or a game, or almost anything I wanted in Flash. I could also use the Flash player to download files to the iPhone.
Since Apple wants to keep the iPhone closed (jailbreak and such are not sanctioned Apple programs), they have to overcome the flexibility Flash gives developers over the iPhone.
Agreed. I notice nothing different at all. I think some of you may benefit from rebooting your phone every once and a while, this has fixed problems with Wifi speed, scrolling speed, crashing applications, etc. in the past, and no need to wait for apple to publish an update
I'm sure that the update has done something, for someone, but I haven't noticed a damn thing. Then again, I have never had the ipod crash while using safari either.
Question for those of you that had to restore:
Did it keep contact pictures associated with your contacts that are no longer in your iphone photo library? (I will clarify if needed)

definitely a difference in wifi - absolutely no question. I had a lot of problems prior to this update, reboot or not - and now it's working as well as my laptop off the router
