The Ultimate iPhone Software Update Discussion Thread

I am so tired of waiting for this update and people posting rumors. I have gone to 4 different Apple Stores during the last week to try and get any information I can about updates from several Apple employees, they are so hushed mouth about it, they aren't giving away anything or letting on to anything. They won't even talk about the problems. Each and everyone made the volume thing sound like it was a normal thing and they also made it sound like no one else had complained about it but me. They would not even say whether any updates are in the works. We will know when the updates are available and no sooner.
and this is why the update is still not here...

Can someone please cut and paste this? Freakin government computers won't let me access that page.
what does that have to do with an update?
thats always an issue that can be fixed down the road like everything else...you think everything is going to be fixed with the first update?

It already shows you the number you're about to call before you actually call it. So what's the problem here? Am I missing something?
Basically the article reads websites can display numbers to dial, but when you click it it can dial a completely different number that may initiate charges. HOWEVER, this article holds no weight because the iPhone asks and verifys the REAL number before calling it, so just ignore this one.
agreed with other posters this has nothing whatsoever to do with an update. and also, like they said, you see the number before you actually make the call. I see what they are saying in the article, but the extreme of using the term "downfall" is ridiculous.
This could also happen on other phones that can dial directly from web pages. I believe this news is targeted at iPhone because of all the hype surrounding this device. Just another way for people to *try* and knock Apple off their high-horse (which they've earned to be on). 
Apple doesn't pre-announce updates (typically) before they become available through the "Check For Updates" button in iTunes iPhone screen.
I recommend hitting that button when you wake up in the morning (and whenever you feel the need to post asking if there is an update coming). It's much more accurate than any forum post claiming an update is available!

Glad you brought this up since I did this click to dial thing once (which I really liked) and I did get a confirm dialog box before the call was placed. I was just glad to see my memory was not playing tricks on me.
