this is interesting since i downloaded the leaked version then it took forever for everything to download and load up definitely longer than usual but it is probably due to the file size. however after hearing the reports that the one i downloaded was intended for the iphone 3g i still dont feel the need to use the other firmware. mine currently works fine and the only difference that i believe could b seen with the firmwares is that when i use my "fake" gps on my 1st gen phone it almost does the gps of the 3g with the bounce and then zoom. also i get this different icon for when it connects to gms for internet. a blue square with a white circle. but whatever everything works correctly including mail.app. is it that important to change to the other "real" firmware???

Well, when I installed the leaked (larger filesize) firmware I was getting a lot of interface lag. Text messaging was very annoying, as it took a long time for letters to be entered.

I read about it on a few web sites, and they had similar issues, and they went away when they used the officially-released-through-iTunes 2.0 firmware.

So, I figured I'd go ahead and use it, too. And it erased everything. Neither 2.0 firmwares gave me the chance to make a backup, but oh well. It's all fine now.

well for those of bricks who may worry, don't. Apple is aware that they are at fault for this and will replace the iPhone at the store ( just went today with no appointment and got taken care of, they even tried to update the iPhone and it wouldn't work so they replaced the unit) reason has Been stated, 30 + countries trying to activate at once isn't the brightest idea, bit that's apple LOL

As far as the OS goes, your phone ends up with the same exact files from either install.

Also, someone working on setting up an Apple Store last night (imaging the demo models) said the firmware on the 3G phones is the one that was found yesterday and that there will be no difference with whatever iTunes throws at you.

But hey, with so much misinformation and stupidity running rampart with such a big release, believe whatever you want to believe.

so i was RIGHT!

the one from thursday was a different size because,

say it with me now,

IT WAS A DIFFERENT FILE!!!!

one thing i noticed ... when i downloaded the prerelease version and installed it everything worked perfectly. when i reloaded the software after the offical release alot of my apps are crashing. any one else having issues with crashing apps??

[tattoojack]

man i am glad i saved the pre release, and not the friday one.

btw, i am assuming the only way to get the newest one (bigger, crashes more, whatever) is to download it thru itunes? or has a link been posted that i missed
(and not the older one from thursday which is smaller and works fine, the big one from friday that apparently crashes apps on some users phones)

anyone understand that?

[whozyell]
