Hi Chris,
Thanx very much for the post and for sharing these tips. I upgraded my iPhone software last night. I downloaded the iTunes first, then plugged the phone to the laptop and automatically received a message on the screen saying there is a newer version of the software, asking me if I’d want to upgrade. I clicked on the upgrade button and done! It took around 20 mins to download and install. Now I have no idea how to make full use of the new software features. You’d have to write another post with tips on that.
