The iPhone 2.1 update is supposed to resolve many issues and shortcomings.  The important improvements are better reception, longer battery life, faster backups, fewer dropped calls, and less crashes.  The update has come through with most of these improvements except for the jury still being out on the longer battery life.

A couple of bugs have been reported from our New York Computer Help customers.  The biggest computer issue is not being able to send or receive e-mails after the update.  We have contacted Apple and ATT, and they had no resolution or further tech support to provide.  After resetting the iPhone, the problem still existed.  The only resolution is to replace the phone!  Another bug is not being able to work with iTunes after.  A quick install of Quicktime usually solves this.

We would advise on not installing the 2.1 patch now unless your emails are not critical.  We are awaiting for a patch or more improved update from Apple to come out.
