Still waiting for the Push Notification this month. But I'm happy with 2.1 for now. I'd rather have Push delayed and really put through it's paces to make sure it's of Apple quality.

Push is in the settings on my 3G Iphone. Updated to 2.1 10 minutes ago.

He means push alerts for 3rd party apps.

Yeah I'm waiting for my push email to start working... so not working right now...

Have you found a setting for the extra text alerts?

I wish Gmail would have push email. Maybe when they come out of beta in a few years.

I haven't, either I'm just missing it or it's enabled by default now.

Yes, should have been more clear

Anyone having any wifi problems with the new upgrade on their iPhone? The Apple discussion boards are lit up with iPod touch users who upgraded to 2.1 earlier this week and can't connect to wifi routers anymore.

No problems with WiFi here... may be a iPod only issue or Apple made a change late with the iPhone firmware.

I let a text message sit for a few minutes. Never gave me another alert... odd.

Interesting to note that 2.1.1 is out for the iPod touch to fix those issues. But it' still 2.1 with the iPhone.

Perhaps Apple knew about the WiFi issues and held off until Friday to fix them in the iPhone update.

I'll go through each setting now.

Wish they had some sort of 'Help > Search' menu that highlights menus like in Leopard.

Next text I get I'll let it go longer. For all we know it may be every 10 minutes...

Good idea, I'll try that now.

[cardfan]

doing a clean restore with 2.1. (yes, had to unplug my 600 dollar do everything hp laser printer to avoid the BSOD). Guess the next week will tell me if this is a keeper.

[Jeremy]

It's every 5 minutes.

***Well it is supposed to be every 5 minutes but mine is not working...

An apple and a unmoving rotary wheel. How long should I wait to throw the phone onto the hiway?

I downloaded 2.1, but backing up my phone is taking FOREVER. It's been about 30-40 minutes and the backup is only about 10% complete. I hope things go faster after the update because this is crap!

[Sircedjr]

Safari seems to be running a LOT better for me. I've done quite a bit of browsing this morning and no crashes. Pages also seem to load a bit faster.

Similarly-titled albums ("Greatest Hits") are no longer listed separately in the iPod app.

Ironic that those who need it most have to wait the longest

My phone has been backing up for almost 2 hours now, and I only have 540 MB of data on it right now. I sure hope this update cuts that down SIGNIFICANTLY!
