iPhone OS 3.1 adds new features and functionality

any body else notice a loss of weak signal pull in? On 9/1/09 it seems a new tower turned on and I suddenly had a couple of bars at my remote mountain house that I'd never had before, the signal stayed strong in my remote area very much better than before. then i updated and blamo no more signal, bummer. anybody else notice anything like this? Iphone 3gs 32gb

Great news - the 3.1 update fixes the keyboard layout for the Bulgarian language!!! In the previous version the cyrillic characters where replaced by an english layout. Now everything is working correct!

os3.1 breaks activesync for devices pre 3gs

Aren't the icons supost to vibrate after moving them ???

I found after updating to 3.1 my Newsreader app on my iPhone is MUCH faster. It had really gotten sluggish after the latest Newsreader update. An unexpected and pleasant surprise!

I had a problem with photos syncing from iPhoto. After the upgrade my photo syncing preferences were entirely gone and I had to re-sync all photos.

So basically the 3.1 update is (once again) mostly about iTunes connectivity and giving the user even more way to spend money in the store -- and not about the basic functionality and features of the device and its OS…! :(

Hey Apple, how about an update that actually corrects at least some of the flaws and brings a few useful features that are not connected to buying music and stuff…?! How about fixing some of the things that have been bothering users ever from the start…?!

Or maybe a universal Inbox in Mail…? Or the option to finally sync all my iCal calendars…? Or…oh whatever, never mind…

What I notice is about 300mb less space on my 1g iPod Touch. I can't see any real benefits to any of your listed features for me, so it's a waste.

DAMN! it bricked it! not even jail broken phone!

Ever since the first beta of 3.1 my iPhone 3GS has fluctuated signal like crazy. It will say 5 bars, drop to no service, then come back to 5 bars. It also seems like every 10 seconds I have a different bars. It ranges between no service and full without being moved. Does anyone else have this problem? I'm in the Detroit metro area and I can't stand having all my outgoing calls fail and incoming calls drop regardless of how many times I reboot the phone. I've restored, rebooted, turned 3G off, everything. I doubt all of this is AT&T alone. It sucks having a great web browsing ipod that runs all types of apps, but can't do the simple phone tasks right at all. This even applies to texting.
