Are most of you doing just the upgrade or a full restore?

Does anyone know if the modem has changed in the first gen GSM iPhone ?

I Updated and the unlock remained!

Yet another day I'm grateful that I'm NOT jailbroken. Oh well call me lame if you want...

The Genius playlist creation on the iPhone itself is SOOOOOOOO freaking cool. I would put it up there at the top of the list of features EVER put onto an iPod. You just hit Genius, up pops a list of all songs on the iPhone. Pick a song. Up pops a list of 25 songs that it has picked from your library. It's one of those features that you just say to yourself "how did they freaking do that?!?!"

To enable Genius playlist creation do the following:

Install 2.1 (duh)
Create a Genius playlist in iTunes 8
Save that Genius playlist
Go to your iPhone under Devices and pick the Music tab
Make sure you have that Genius playlist checked to sync
Sync your iPhone

After sync completes go into the iPod app and you should have at the top of your playlists 'Genius' right at the top above 'On The Go'.

Enjoy!

Thanx I can live without 3rd party guess Apple has given up on the first gen and letting us live in peace

Don't really need to jailbreak it yet. Your experience certainly helped me to make the decision. I will wait for a few more report before making the move.

In your case I'd just wait a till you get back. The one thing that you want to be sure about is your services especially since youre going out of the country. Stick with what works at least till you get back.
