Macrumors, who by the way is always on the ball when it comes to all things Apple, got tipped to a ‘hidden’ version of the iPhone 2.0 firmware before it was released.  You can download it now, but as Macrumors points out, you’ll lose all the data on your iPhone, so BACK UP your data.  In order to install this Firmware, you’ll have to manually choose ‘check for update’ from the iTunes’ menu and then locate the downloaded file.

Warning:

Normally if you choose to update, the iPhone or iPod touch software is updated but your settings and media are not affected. If your device currently has a software version prior to 2.0 (1.x) and you are updating to software version 2.0 or later, all data on your device will be erased in order to perform install the new software. In this case, iTunes will offer to create a one-time media backup of your device depending on what content is on your device and what content is stored in the iTunes Library you are connected to. You should ensure that you have enough free space on your Mac or PC to accommodate a backup that matches the capacity of your iPhone or iPod touch (4 GB, 8 GB, 16 GB, or 32 GB) if you proceed with the this backup.
