People got really excited to see The Magnificent Steve Jobs reappear at an Apple announcement yesterday, and there were some cool new products.

However, it might be wise to wait a few days and/or check with your IT department before you install the iPhone firmware update, especially if you need your phone for work. The Consumerist blog reports some iPhone 3G are having problems with the new setup in the way it connects to Exchange servers. Click through for details on why people think it’s happening.

It seems likely that Apple will fix this soon, but in the meantime the version 3.0 firmware is working just fine for me. Of course, there’s always the temptation.

As The Consumerist writes:

“If you’re a gadgetophile like me, you love firmware updates because it’s like giving your smartphone, camera, or other mp3 player a mini-makeover. If you’re normal, however, don’t rush into it—the best thing to do is wait a bit and see what problems are reported from the front line.”
