Took a new 3G phone running 2.0.1 and updated it without issue. Went to dslreports iPhone test page and ran the test with the following settings:
WiFi: 2,616 kbps
EDGE: 167 kbps
3G: 900kbps (had to reboot the phone to get a signal. First switching from Edge to 3G rendered NO SERVICE)
I have noticed the pause from doing something in your CONTACTS and hitting your HOME button no longer leaves a black page for a few seconds. At 250+MB there hopefully will be some speed increases for the user experience. The 3G service is so poor where I live that I actually just use the EDGE network.
Apple provides no intel regarding the changes other that saying "Bug Fixes".
