This update will make PhoneValet Message Center users happy, since Apple has added sound file support in the Mail program in this update.
Now, you get a nice clickable link in the email message for voicemail audio files sent in AAC format, and clicking takes you directly to the audio player program (looks like it does in the web browser).
Apple releases iPhone update 1.1.1

Didn't break iToner ringtones for me. Other oddities: the calculator icon is a little more colorful and one is no longer asked if a Podcast or QuickTime movie should be deleted to make more room on the device.

Did you actually go into your rintone menu and see if they're still selectable? One of my contacts still shows U2's "Vertigo" as their customized ringtone, but Vertigo is no longer in the main ringtone menu.

iPhone (unmodified) locked up during the update. lost all my goddamn settings, mail accounts, etc. Thanks a bunch Apple.
I really wish that apple would PLEASE put in some form of "backup settings" for the iPhone. I already went through this twice when i send my old iPhone in for service, one for the loaner, again for the replacement. It's really a pain in the ass to have to setup my exchange and other e-mail accounts several times, and then go through and change all my settings.

Were you that stupid to not back up your phone before you did the update?
I had a hack on mine, so what I did was I took my computer "offline" and connected the iPhone and did a full "Sync" to back up all my information and latest changes. This protected my data and would have yours too if you had done this.
Then I reconnected to the internet and proceeded with the update from Apple, knowing full well that the hack I did might cause me to have to do a Factory Reset like it did on the last update.
But I did not have to do a reset.... the only thing that happened was the ringtones I hacked on got removed. But I had a backup just in case.

I think it was pretty dumb for Apple to pull this stunt. Less phones with the iTunes WIFI store = Less sales!
Then again, I have a feeling that they didn't really make it THAT hard to re-unlock, but in order to look pro-active vis a vis AT&T they had to do SOMETHING ;-)

Installed here with no problems on a phone with no third party stuff and certainly NOT unlocked. (I don't travel much--certified geezerhood does that to some of us--and T-Mobile around here is a much less useful network than AT&T. Had T-Mobile been the carrier, I wouldn't have an iPhone.)
(I wouldn't mind at all if Apple hadn't given AT&T the exclusive in the US, though.)
My first wireless iTunes store purchase was "probably" larger than average: Pavarotti's Greatest Hits. (So far so good--it's still downloading. And playing an early track.)

Was the stupid comment really necessary? Most people that can afford an iPhone probably don't qualify as stupid... maybe not Mensa material, but more than likely not stupid. But hey, if you feel like a genius for backing up your settings prior to an iPhone update, then have at it, tiger. A tip of the hat to your colossal intellect. /forums/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Absolutely NOT, and I never SAID that income/$/money = intellect. Of course there are going to be the Paris Hiltons' of the world that will have iPhones falling into their laps.
Most that can afford the iPhone have a modicum of intelligence. I've lost important data maybe three times in my years as a Mac user (back to '90 or so). Because I lost data does not make me stupid, or an idiot, or a cretin.
This is Apple we're talking about... one would think because of the premium we happily pay that the "it just works" axiom extends from the Mac onto the iPhone as well. Having a an update wipe out mail settings, notes and other 'non-hacks' is just unacceptable from a company like Apple.
If Apple had the iPhone accesible fromn the desktop like most iPods, then yeah, I'd say the guy wouldn't have a legitimate beef. But to have an update wipe out your settings is unacceptable.
And calling someone stupid because they didn't back up their CELL PHONE is inane. It just makes the poster look like a self-aggrandizing dolt.

Yes, the poster was an idiot for not backing up his phone. And paying $600 for an iPhone is not an excuse for not knowing the basics about computers, hard drives and precious digital data.

And to followup -- the user that lost his/her data was using an UNMODIFIED iPhone. The iPhone is a self-contained, (ostensibly) non-configurable phone, unlike many other phones on the market. You can't swap out the battery, can't put in a memory card, can't (aren't SUPPOSED to) swap out the SIM card. The beauty of a self-contained device is that it's supposed to be a seamless user experience so the user doesn't have to worry about backing things up.
Apple screws up, so it's not surprising that an occasional update will wipe out settings on a phone. But calling a user stupid because they didn't backup their unmodified phone is uncalled for.
