The time has finally come. iPhone firmware version 2.1 has finally been released and features many bug fixes. Although, it does not contain advanced GPS features or Copy and Paste, which was one of the two most wanted items in this update. I also haven’t heard of the push notification server being opened in this firmware update.

The complete list of features is:

* Decrease in call set-up failures and dropped calls
* Significantly better battery life for most users
* Dramatically reduced time to backup to iTunes
* Improved email reliability, notably fetching email from POP and Exchange accounts
* Faster installation of 3rd party applications
* Fixed bugs causing hangs and crashes for users with lots of third party applications
* Improved performance in text messaging
* Faster loading and searching of contacts
* Improved accuracy of the 3G signal strength display
* Repeat alert up to two additional times for incoming text messages
* Option to wipe data after ten failed passcode attempts
* Genius playlist creation

I am downloading the update now, so I cannot confirm any of these fixes working correctly.Â

Once again, if you want to keep your jailbreak, DO NOT UPDATE. Also, if you have an iPhone 3G which you want unlocked in the future, the iPhone-Dev Team recommends you not update until the new PwnageTool is released, which enables you to to disable the baseband update. We will report on when the new PwnageTool is released, along with WinPwn. Leave a comment below if the update has fixed anything for you.
