Trevor, thank you so much for the full tour of the new firmware. Downloaded it Saturday.

The new firmware and some of the new apps are really making the iphone more useful!

2.2.1 has been out since the end of January. Here's the fix list:
The release notes lists minor bug fixes and improvements in iPhone firmware 2.2.1. They are mentioned below:
• Improved general stability of Safari
• Fixed issue where some images saved from Mail do not display correctly in the Camera Roll
I haven't had any problems with it. It's already been jailbroken too, so there's no issues there either.

It's so nice to be able to come here for info.
It also downloaded something about the network protocals or something. Perhaps this is like updating the the network connectivity by pressing a series of buttons on my old Verizon phone?

Yeah. I did that as well.
Logo replacements, apparently, for AT&T's upcoming MicroCell service (at the time of this writing, the page is in maintenance mode). 2 images, light and dark versions of the image on the left (courtesy of MobileCrunch). Commenters at The iPhone Blog also confirm the revised connectivity image. Our own commenters note that Apple has added settings for the Mobily network (Saudi Arabia) and Etisalat (United Arab Emirates) in this update as well, which adds weight to the expected 2/15 launch of the iPhone in those countries.

Have to recommend a program called WunderRadio. Has thousands of streaming radio stations. I am listening to the WJIM feed of the bball game right now.

Interesting chart ...
Big gains for Apple, but still WAY behind RIM.

Not sure if it's been discussed yet, but it looks like the Slingbox software is ready to drop any time now

We just got the announcement, iPhone OS 3.0 is coming. Set your clocks, mark your calendars. It's going down March 17th. Apparently, we'll get a sneak peak at the new OS, as well as a look at a brand new version of the SDK. Exciting stuff indeed, and we'll be there live at 10am PST (1pm EST) with the liveblog. Apple's calling this an "advance preview of what we're building," so we're not expecting anything ready to go as of the 17th, but hopefully this will allow developers to start building toward future functionality (hey, how about some push notifications?), and presumably users won't have too many months to wait after that for the real deal.

Just out of curiosity how does the average monthly bill for an iphone compare to other phones? I'd appreciate first hand info or a link.

Yep ... and I've been waiting.
But other than their "it is planned for Q1 '09", have you heard anything else?

Nope, I just saw the demo on the Sling website and got excited. After a year of speculation, I am happy to see this will soon be a reality.

3G started working for me around January. It seems apple has finally worked out the bugs with all the new sw releases, even battery life appears to last longer. No more dropped calls. I've changed my opinion on the phone now that it actually works. I just wish Apple would not be so anal about controlling apps. When is Starplayr finally going to be available w/o jailbreaking? 
It seems every gadget these days is thrust into the market for Beta testing. To be honest, I had a lot of the same issues with my treo the first 6 monthes I owned it. I had to return it twice before the thing worked properly. I noticed in the system info screen, it had a higher Hardware revision level than the others.

The apps are really what make this thing cool. Being able to monitor and trade stocks anywhere you are is sweet. Using yelp, google or urbanspoon to find the nearest restaurants complete with reviews no matter what strange city you are in is really useful when traveling. Fake-a-call has given me an excuse to get out of boring situations. Tons of free e-books for stanza and now Kindle has an app. Facebook/AIM get around the need to pay for texting. Internet Relay Chat. Graphing, engineering, finance and electrical calculators. Dashbuster is cool if you have netflix or BB online. Once StarPlayr is finally released, you will be able to stream satellite radio, which is great because the Stilettos are awful.
Plus the ability to get around your works firewall.
