Report-all is much faster-the download and install took 24 minutes total (cable modem, iMac, iTunes 8.0); overall observations:
-iPhone “snappiness” is vastly improved-no more hiccups when using the Springboard (launching and exiting apps)
-Greatly improved reception (not to mention the icons have changed for 3G and Edge-no more rectangular box-just the letters in blue floating in the status bar), in areas where my 3G dropped off before and 1–2 bars on EDGE or GPRS, 3G is now present (stays lit most of the time) and doesn’t drop!
-3G reception seems to have improved-no more lag, quicker download of web pages in Safari
-Maps works now! Traffic updated in less than a second! That program used to have real hangups when updating traffic and graphics in general…now works like a dream!
-Battery life-will see today-so far 2 hours later, and full batter status with 3G radio and BT on…used to be at 75% by now, and if I left 3G on the batt lasted no longer than 3–4 hours…I’ll go through the rest of today with 3G on and let you know how it turns out…
