They must be scrapping the notification system, huh?

City transit directions do not work in Toronto, Canada. Neither does street view as I guess we don't have it yet.

It looks to me like Google doesn't even have transit schedules for Toronto on the web so I guess that makes sense. They have full transit scheduling for Vancouver so I hope it works here (still downloading the update).

Well transit in Vancouver works great and everything is nice and new feeling again. One thing I can't figure out is where to go to mail a link to my location.... I swore I saw that not only online but in the list of updates in iTunes. I figured that it would be in Maps but I don't see it.

edit: I figured it out - to share your location you have to drop a pin first then tap the arrow over on the pin.

I've noticed a problem with the upgrade, though. All of a sudden I keep getting errors that say ""The sender address was invalid". Not good. Yay.

I had a jailbroken 2.1 and was doing just fine for a while. Had a problem earlier this week that put my phone out, had to restore (and it didn't want to, lemme tell you that). Couldn't get a jailbroken one to install so went with the real thing (which again, took a lot of coercion). Decided to wait until 2.2 before trying anything again.

Installing now. Will post results. Biggest thing for me is the emoji... did they make it in? No reports yet but I reckon those of us in Japan are the only ones interested in that particular addition.

edit: emoji! damn straight. it looks good too. finally no more unreadable characters from everyone who sends me mail.... finally i can stop saying making excuses for the iphone. finallly my friends will stop bitching...

Thanks. it's been ages.

And I spoke too soon on this issue. The resolved some major issues with the whole messages going unreadable but the emoji from other carriers still don't work.

Not perfect but it's a start.

Street view is awesome. If they just covered more of the planet!

I'm not sure I like the Google search bar in Safari. Somehow everything seems more cramped now and at best I save one tap. Was there any other reason for doing that than the fact that Eric Schmidt is on Apple's board?

Is it worth restoring before upgrading? Just got my iPhone 2 days ago so I wouldn't mind backing up, restoring and put everything back if I'm sure I won't lose anything.

Drop a pin. Click the icon to the left of the pin's label. If it's greyed out there's no street view available there.

I am also getting the "Cannot Send Mail. The sender address was invalid" message. Quite frustrating.

I like the ability to browse and download Podcasts from the iTunes store.
Maps with walking and subway directions are brilliant.

Wow I love the StreetView!

My App Store has lost the ability to check for updates though... I can still download apps in the top 25 list but when I go to the Updates tab it searches and searches and finally says it Cannot connect to iTunes Store. :-[

I would also like to add that it only happens over WiFi. Items sent over the cellular network are fine.
