I’m almost hesitant to write this, but as of now I haven’t experienced a single lockup or crash in the seven days since installing the 2.0.1 update.  I’m a superstitious person and can’t help feeling I might be jinxing myself by reporting this good news.  I hope I don’t wake up tomorrow to find my iPhone smoking and my Macbook on fire.  If I have one character flaw equal to my surreptitiousness, its impatience.  As much as I love my iPhone I have to admit to fleeting thoughts of giving it the “Wild Hogs” heave-ho a few days ago.  As cool as the device is performing the role of pocket internet connection, GPS and application platform it is still first and foremost a mobile phone.  When the damned thing decided to have one of its’ epileptic seizures, cureable only by a three-hour restore, it left me without a phone.  That’s something that never happend to me in all my years (15) of owning cell phones.  I even caught my self being reluctant to suggest someone reach me on my cell.  WTF?

Hopefully, all that’s in the past.  Since the update I have used every feature the iPhone has to offer without problem.  I’ve installed and updated apps from both iTunes and the phone’s app store, used the GPS, played multiple games and the worst I’ve suffered is a low battery.  There must have been some real nuggets in the 2.0.1 release.  I hope to soon return to the normal Apple mindset.  The one where I take for granted that everything just works.  The one where I never have to pray to the phone gods.  Not there yet, but I’m cautiously optimistic.
