Hands on with iPhone 2.0 upgrade, App store [photos]
With the release of the iPhone 2.0 firwmare (available from Apple's own servers), we installed the software on our previously "jailbroken" and "unlocked" iPhone without any problems (no word yet on whether the unlock is still working). The entire process took about 20 minutes (maybe a bit longer) using iTunes' restore function (download the software and click option. We have the first screenshots of the painfully long process.

unlock
We need to hear from someone who has a SIM from a provider other than AT
So is the iPhone...
easier or harder to use in order to download apps than a typical WinMo handset?
Touch Touch no Touch
No Software 2.0 for Touch owners in the UK 10:30pm after the apps have been out there for well hours :-(
Correct URL
The URL given was an Akamai direct URL, a link to the company the distributes files for Apple. It isn't working now, but I was able to work backwards and determine the real URL on Apple's domain:
http://info.apple.com/iPhone/061-4955.20080710.bgt53/iPhone1,22.05A347_Restore.ipsw
Enjoy!
Not final version?
In the last photo (presumably setting up Mail.app) why does it have both MobileMe AND .Mac?

Bug
Did the upgrade but noticed I can't change my wallpaper now. I can pull up a picture from my photo library, but when I want to select "Set Wallpaper" nothing happens with any of the buttons except the top right-hand "cancel" button. I wonder how many more issues are going to showup
