iPhone 2.1 Software Update now live in iTunes

Apple has now released firmware version 2.1 via iTunes software update. It's a hefty 237MB download, but of course you're on a fast broadband connection anyway, right?

Download screen says that iPhone version 2.1 contains many bug fixes and improvements, including:

• decrease in call set-up failures and call drops
• significantly improved battery life for most users
• dramatically reduced time to backup to iTunes
• improved email reliability, notably fetching email from POP and Exchange accounts
• faster installation of 3rd party applications
• fixed bugs causing hangs and crashes if you have lots of 3rd party applications
• improved performance in text messaging
• faster loading and searching of contacts
• improved accuracy of the 3G signal strength display
• repeat alert up to two additional times for incoming text messages
• option to wipe data after ten failed passcode attempts
• Genius playlist creation

I'm installing it now. Are you going to do the same, or wait to see if there are any terrible problems before letting it loose on your iPhone?
