iPhone v.2 Software
I don't know why anyone was surprised by the SNAFUs around the release of iPhone 2. You remember what I went through when I got my original iPhone last year? Horrible, horrible experience.
So I waited until the reports of server frustrations died down, and then ~ in the wee, small hours of the morning ~ I downloaded and installed the new software uneventfully.
Yeah, there are some spiffy new features (although STILL no cut-and-paste, and still no mass mark-as-read in email). Everyone will have his or her favorite, but in my view the best is the simplest. Now, when the phone rings, you do not have to "swipe" to answer the phone, just tap an "accept" or "decline" button. This is a lot easier to do in a hurry, or one-handed, and a major UI improvement.
Frankly, I'd wish they'd allow you to answer a call by pressing the "home" button. But you can't have everything.
