Technically, that is too... how did they achieve it? Oh, yeah, they fixed the 3G radio firmware so it stopped requesting so much radio bandwidth that people couldn't get 3G signal... which also resulted in a lot of devices flipping between EDGE and 3G constantly.
I would have probably asked the feature question as "what features did you anticipate that /weren't/ in 2.1?" My biggie would have been notifications, with a close second of SDK improvements so AppStore apps can do more useful things. As of now, most of my truly important apps require jailbreaking...
What we got in 2.1 probably should have been 2.0.3 (or some would argue 2.0... heh). But as we know, features were dropped out of the beta releases along the way. This kind of very late scope decrease is usually done to accomodate more fixes. Happens a lot in the software industry.
