Apple iPhone (Original) Geotagging photos with iPhone 2.0 Software

This is what I know so far:
When you upgrade your original iPhone to the 2.0 software – you can do geotagging of photos.
When I pull the photos into iPhoto – and do CMD-I I see GPS coordinates. These are as right as they can be using triangulation/Wifi tricks – but they are at least *close*.
It seems that FLickr does not see the meta data yet – flick does not even know that the photo came from an iPhone.
But I am sure this will all work out.
I wish I knew a site that I could upload a photo and have it dump all the metadata.
Given that I don’t have 3G in Lansing where I live and that Geotagging was my most important feature – it means that I don’t have to rush right out to get the new iPhone – I will still get one eventually – I will just let the craziness die down a bit.
