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?
Any Dropped Calls?

From my post on this subject at MacRumors:
"There's more consistent bars, and definitely better 3G performance.
I live in north Central London, and was getting 2-3 bars of 3G normally before 2.1.
Now I get a solid 5, and performance is superb.
Where I work in Knightsbridge, I was consistently dropping out to Edge and getting zero bars of 3G. I thought 2.1 would have solved that, but I subsequently found out, that I'm simply in a 3G coverage gap location at work, which is a bummer, but no fault of Apple's.
Everywhere else I go where 3G coverage is good, I now get stellar performance.
I just wish there was an option in the Settings to have "Wi-Fi quality visuals" on 3G, as YouTube (albeit fast), looks crap on 3G. I'd sacrifice a little speed for top quality visuals.
