I’m sure all of the iPhone owners out there were chomping at the bit to download the 2.1 update when it hit today. After all, it does claim to fix major problems like call drops, crashes, slow syncing and bad battery life. I’ve been busy, so I haven’t had a chance to install it myself—so help me out with this. How are the individual bug fixes working out for you?
The 2.1 update has absolutely destroyed voice quality and reliability on the Optus network in Australia – since the update I’ve had one-way audio, no-way audio, high levels of static, and completely garbled audio. Everything else seems to be working marginally better, but for use as a phone the 2.1 firmware is horrible… there’s a reason all other handset manufacturers release firmware based on regions (well, there are various reaons).
After the 2.1 update I can’t make calls to my landline (home number). Neither can my wife. Both our phones when we make calls to our house phone it just has a BUSY signal. For petes sake. What the heck did they do.

After the upgrade to 2.1, I am now not able to establish a VPN connection with our cisco router.
