The same thing happened to me after I updated my phone. I disconnected the phone and plugged it back in and the phone number returned.
Got a tip for us?

I'm sorry, but as much as I absolutley love my iPhone, the lack of Flash support does suck bad. Apple advertises that this is not the "watered down internet". So un-water it and give us the Flash we need, lol. I was hoping for Flash with this update, but then again, why would YouTube be updating everything over the summer to the H.264 codec if Flash was ever coming?
I read that Adobe is updating its Flash to support H.264, but I am not sure what that means, or how that will help with existing Flash based sites.... Anyone know? I am admittedly ignorant to this type of info.
This weekend I was out shopping for a new car. While at a dealership, I noticed that they were including a second sticker on the car, significantly raising the price. Well, out comes my iPhone so I could get online and build the car myself and get the manufacturers recommended price..... Darn it all, it requires Flash......no go.
At any rate, I am very happy that we got another update.... Was beginning to think we were forgotten about....
My wifi reception is definitely better. While in my office I have never been able to connect to the wifi hub in the conference room down the hall. After the update I was surprised that the Edge connection seemed faster, until I realized I was connected to the wifi hub with two bars. For me, this is a huge issue, as I was preparing to try to deal with whatever hassle it would take to get the wifi connection extended to my office area.
Yes!!!
Went to update, had to restore.
Apple really needs to fix the restore-needed updates. I have a scary amount of work information in this phone, and don't feel comfortable having to wipe and restore it just to update the sw. Yes, it's backed up, but it's a roll of the dice I don't feel is necessary.

same here, sigh, i also had to perform a restore, it gave me an error when trying to update. this is frustrating! my phone isn't modded.
Are you sure? Why would it make you restore? It's ok be honest, we won't judge you.
Yup my connection to my router is working much better. Don't have to hit renew lease every five minutes and wait for lag like I did before
No volume difference.
Well, I have just performed a semi-scientific test, and can not discern any volume difference at all between 1.0.1 and 1.0.2.
I performed my test using a high-end consumer microphone recording using fixed levels on a MiniDisc recorder, and watching the VU meter's high points during iPod speaker playback, ringtones, and speaker phone (playing back a voice mail, since if the iPhone wasn't in Airplane mode, I got nasty GSM feedback.)
I had the microphone on a microphone stand elevating the end of the microphone about one inch in the air, pointing directly at the iPhone three inches away, which was in its dock on a solid wood desk surface. (The mic was specifically pointed at the Home button.)
The VU meter highs and lows were indistinguishable between pre and post update. Subjective listening also had the two sets indistinguishable.
In other words: The speakerphone is still too quiet. (A purely subjective test after the scientific test confirms this.)

I work in IT, and we were having a problem with an iPhone that would not allow it to sync (or even setup) his Exchange account. After installing that, we dont have a problem *yet*
Well, that didn't take long to prove. I was able to listen to music and surf for about 15 minutes, then iPod crashed. After that iPod did last more than a few seconds after I started surfing(repeated attempts). Heck, I didn't even need to change pages, just open Safari and scroll around on an already loaded page. If its the same as past behavior Rebooting will give me another 10-20 minutes of concurrent iPod / Surfing.
So, 1.0.2 did NOT fix my iPod crashing while surfing. Guess I'll take them up on their offer and get a loaner.

ArsTechnica lists the update as 92 MB, MacRumors as only 3.7 MB, which one is correct? Pretty large difference, 3.7 MB sounds more likely.
pay no attention to MacDailyNews 'editorial' - they are morons.
And speculating that the addition of h.264 means flash is coming to the iPhone is nothing more than flawed logic. All it means is that Adobe is ditching the antiquated On2 codec for the scalable- far superior H.264. That's it!
And as a video producer/flash developer, this is great news, nonetheless.
The iPhone will get backed up when you dock it and the restore should give you the option to restore from that backup. So you shouldn't have to recreate any data.
Weird. ...no request to restore first here. If you see that either you have modified the OS install somehow or your iPhone's OS install was found to be inconsistent.
scrolling seems back up to 1.0 speed
The scrolling seemed to slow down a tad in 1.01, but seems to be back to 1.0 speed now. especially noticed in weather.

sidenote:
Im not even going to waste my time hacking anything else on this phone, I would hate having to restore everything each time there is a update. I'll wait for apple to give us more options...
