iPhone 2.1 Software, and a Quick Word of Warning

iPhone 2.1 software is now officially available, but just a quick tip: don't try to install it just before heading to work: although 2.1 promises fasters syncs and backups right around the corner, the initially backup to load the software is proving to be slow. Dog slow. Like into hour two slow.

So don't start it, if you plan on going anywhere with your phone in the next few hour(s).

Yikes...

I'm going to start my update now. Lets see what happens...

hmmm . . . took me 17 minutes. I think the trick is to cancel the initial backup once you connect the phone to the computer, download the update and then when the update installs it backs the phone up anyway.

I think the long backup is because of the standard issue backup when you first connect the phone.
