mine is edge. just update this morning, so cant say much about battery, performance etc. But the feeling is good as far as major functions are concerned. The sms is slightly faster (about 2 to 3 second faster) and the phone app is almost without lag anymore

just a reminder to anyone using mac, do copy the pwnage software into ur mac first before attempting to pwned ur phone. U may end up getting headache if u try to launch the app straight after it completely downloaded. U may not able to add additional packages for cydia from the pwnage or the pwnage simply cannot recognize ur baseband files..

update:

after syncing several times and installing 3 pages of apps, I can say that the new firmware is faster than older firmwares

the winterboard is working well, the cydia is working well n other jailbreak apps too

the happiest change for me is the incredibly fast back up compared to last 2.x.x firmwares.. installing apps is also much faster

more about personal experience:

Good news:

Significantly faster response when opening phone, SMS, ipod
Webpage load much faster- almost nothing to do with my edge connection

Bad:

Cydia keeps sending me back to home page- so in my case, it is not fully working as I claimed before
Cannot open snapture- not supported? Can anybody clarify this?

About the back up, give itunes 8.0 a try, I believe firmware 2.1 comes in handy with itunes 8.0. When I was on 2.0.1, the backup seems to take infinity period of time (keep hanging or took at least 5 hours to complete. Whether I reboot the phone or just cancelled the back up

Icebrew is rite, I hv encountered the same problem (as mentioned in earlier post), n the problem solved by copying the pwnage to computer first.

at least as far as I m concerned, my battery does not being better, but worst. Not to ridicule Apple or others experience, but just expect some abnormality may happens

hope this time apple will make 2g users happier old 1.1.4 battery performance always been in my mind since porting to 2.x some may argue dat their fon performance is only changing for better. still, i believe the 2.x update mainly focus on 3g rite now n somehow 2g is left behind.

this is my personal experience of course, so do not flame me

ha ha

its already 25 cents (if i m not mistaken) cheaper than last time still good arguments on why most people not flaming anymore better use the resource on more profound job.

missed some otai though. good to see u, davidgary n some other seniors still here providing good info

Ok... Now i have problem. Hope someone can help.

My phone had this problem sometimes ago. It often lost the wifi function (the wifi control unit is grey). I often fixed this by changing the bootloader from 3.9 to 4.6 vice versa. It works

Now the problem came back. The real problem is not the wifi as i am always using edge. It's the battery. It acts weird. For the first half of the battery life (100-50), it works a little bit better on 2.2 than 2.1. But on second half of the battery life (50-0) it drops really fast, even when the phone is on stand by mode.

I believe this has something to do with my phone condition + the upgrading to 2.2.

I cannot use the normal fix, i.e changing the bootloader, as even the boot neuter is not functioning on my device after i upgrade to 2.2

FYI, mine is iphone edge. And i m currently at Trg, so any suggestion to meet Gurus in KL is not possible.

I would to thank in advance for any future suggestion.

P/s: sorry if my word is somehow confusing. I did not sleep the whole nite and just got bored already to do anything (regarding the problem) after Subh prayer.

Added on November 29, 2008, 7:26 amOh yeah, i do opt to upgrade my bootloader again and again (from 3.9 to 4.6) when i rebuild the firmware (at least 4 times last nite), but the fon kept telling me that my bootloader choice had already matched with current bootloader (which apprently not; as i wish to change to 4.6 while current bootloader is 3.9).

Ironically, everything else really works better on this new firmware *sigh* soo much trouble for some comestic improvemenst. No, i m not blaming Apple
