    I'm not sure if this update was for 2.1 or 2.2, but I also noticed an update to the iPod function in the phone.

    When you browse your library using the 'songs' menu it will now show the artist name, and album in smaller print under the song name. Before it only showed the song name.

    This is a minimal, but pretty useful addition for me. I have several songs that have the same name, and now it's easier to browse through the whole library. : )

    On version 2.1, on settings/safari/database is mail.google.com (GmailMobileWeb). But on 2.2 is talkgadget.google.com (Google Talk Asset Cache).

    When updating an app from the app store, it now updates the app in place on the page it was previously. On 2.1 it would re-add the app to the first open spot on the pages and then move it to the original location. Now it's all done in-place.

    Passcode bug with the upgrade:

    I have to use the passcode lock feature, enforced when using with our corporate mail (Exchange).

    After 2.2, if you press Emergency Call by accident then go back to enter your passcode it comes back invalid. (I struggled for a loooong time with this - checking that I was typing it in correctly...)

    Workaround - after one failed attempt, turn off the phone, turn it back on, and your passcode should now work properly
