Apple had released iPhone firmware 2.2.1 back in Jan which included some minor bugs and improvements.

However Dev Team had warned against updating to firmware 2.2.1 without preserving the baseband if iPhone 3G users wanted to unlock their iPhone as it also included a baseband update (02.30.03) which breaks the "injection hole" that they had used in their application yellowsn0w to modify the firmware which had helped to successfully unlock iPhone 3G.

There might be some good news for iPhone 3G users who had accidentally upgraded to iPhone firmware 2.2.1 without preserving their baseband as ModMyi is reporting that a tool called pHaseBanDowngrader has just been released that allows iPhone 3G users to downgrade baseband from 02.30.03 to 02.28.00.

Have iPhone Safari Crashes Reduced Significantly After Upgrading to iPhone Firmware 2.2.1?
iPhone's Safari browser is easily one of the best mobile browsers I have used and one of my favorite iPhone apps; however I had just one complaint. It crashed quite often. It was a view shared by many readers here at iPhone Hacks which is why we had written an article on how to fix Safari crashes.

Its more than a month since I have upgraded to firmware 2.2.1 and I am happy to report that Safari crashes have reduced significantly.
