Let’s cut to the chase. The 2.1 firmware is out and now available for download on the iTunes store. Unlike the previous upgrade, which provided such descriptive info as “bug fixes”, the release notes provide a lot more info:
iPhone 2.1 Software Update
iPhone version 2.1 contains many bug fixes and improvements, including the following:
• decrease in call set-up failures and call drops
• significantly improved 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 if you have lots of 3rd 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’m installing it right now and see how it goes!

While most were disappointed at the lack of any big splash at the Apple “Let’s Rock” event earlier yesterday (only minor cosmetic upgrades to iPod models), iPhone users have reason to be mildly excited. Apple confirmed at the event that the next update will be released September 13th, and it’s no small patch. According to Apple, this patch will provide over 100 bug fixes, including the annoying crashing of apps to and frequent dropped calls when using 3G.
Steve Jobs: “This release fixes all that stuff—and it significantly improves battery life. It’s a great release, so we encourage everyone to get it.”
I’m looking forward to September 13th.
