More Screenshots from iPhone 2.0 Firmware


Engadget has posted an extensive gallery of photos from the upcoming iPhone 2.0 Firmware. Several of the new features have been detailed before. A few highlights from their experience:

- No contact search
- Calculator supports sideways orientation (see photo above)
- New button in calendar view doesn't do anything yet (screenshot)
- App Store present, but doesn't work yet
- Wifi networks can be ordered in preference (screenshot)
- Multi-select in Mail to move/delete. (screenshot)

Apple is currently seeding version 1.2 Beta to enterprise beta testers and select iPhone developers. The final version will be renamed "2.0" and released in late June.

On an earlier thread, posters wanted more functions on the calculator, I guess their wants were answered!

Cool...it would be great to have a full-featured calculator on the iPhone. How about to-dos though? That is a must-have to make this really work well as the mobile office for me (and everyone else methinks).

This is a cool feature, wish it was around back in those early collegiate days when I forgot a calculator and I could have busted out a cellphone with these features.

I'm certainly happy to see a scientific calculator. I hope we get the option of RPN* as well.

you wouldnt be able to see what your typing, it takes up to much roon, its fine on safari for a 1 line search but for an email?, the buttons are the same size just when there closer its quicker to get from one to another.

Cool... more useful upgrades coming!

You know... this is where Apple is winning. We have Razr phones too (my iPhone is for work), but since I've had our Razr phones there was one update in December... that may have come out earlier than that, but how would I know that? I can only find out these things if I go hunting or go to the Verizon store with a problem and they tell me this... but to make a long story short, the update in December was a disaster! It changed things in a bad way and really didn't improve anything on the phone. At least noticeably.

So why is Apple winning here? Updates are easy to find (you're notified when you dock to your PC), and every update to date has brought something new and useful to the table. Not just some background fixes or changes.

Other phone makers need to take note or they are going to get their lunch eaten by outdated business models and poor service.

Just an observation. :-)
