Well, it's got some nice new features, but it also breaks distance unit localisation in Maps - now in the UK you're stuck with Km instead of Miles, presumably until either the next OS update, or until Maps gets its own update to fix this.
In any case, Maps should ideally have (as its web version does already) the option to choose distance units on the fly, as when calculating fuel estimates for a journey, Km is often more useful these days, but miles is what all the maps and road signs use in the UK. I want both...

I also can't see the person drawing in Quick Draw about 75% of the time, though I can't be sure it was 2.2 that caused the change. It was fine before though.
I do like street view and transit, and I like the new Safari toolbar--I was accidentally clicking the wrong thing pretty often before, but now my desktop habits apply to the phone too.
So I updated to the latest version of quicktime and iTunes. Then plugged my phine into the Mac to update to 2.2.
D/Ld the update.
Now, my phone is "backing up" and has been for the better part of the last hour. It hasn't gotten too much past 25%. How long would you (anyone) wait before saying "fusk it, I'm doing a restore?"
I'd really rather not do a restore as I have a few app that will loose important data with a restore. I believe that happened during the last update.

Restores don't have to lose app data--I think it was a pre-2.1 bug that caused that to loss to happen. Still, it COULD happen again, and I too would avoid a restore if I could
If the bar is still moving, I'd let it go. Maybe for some reason the backup was messed up and it has to make a whole fresh backup just onece. Future backups will hopefully be quick again (just what's changed).
I recall seeing other 2.2 upgraders over at MR making a similar backup complaint. Luckily it didn't happen to me--my backup after the update was quick.
I went away from the computer for a bit-- cant say ho long for sure, but it was over a half-hour. When I returned, the Phone was up and running. All apps are working without incident.
