Installed & working.. finally COPY & PASTE!
Been trying out the stereo bluetooth. I'm a little disappointed by the audio quality as it sounds like a highly compressed Internet radio stream. Spotlight works great, tested 'Find my iPhone', works as it should. Notifications enabled for a couple of apps but not fully tested it yet.
So far, so good.

Great so far, they could have only added copy n paste and I would have been happy.
Copy n paste is easy and intuitive, they've done it really well in my opinion.
Voice memos is ok, though I don't think I really need it.
Search seems to work fine.
Would have liked it if you could share contacts via bluetooth, but MMS and email is enough for now, better than nothing.
Can't get MMS to work on Vodafone at the moment though (have a factory unlocked 3G iPhone), have to give them a call in the morning to make sure it is actually turned on. Just hope I don't get someone who clams up as soon as I mention an iPhone like the last couple of times

I've been running 3.0 betas for ages now. So the novelty has worn off somewhat.
I think come February (end of contract) I will see how the Palm Pre is doing, it seems better the iPhone in a few ways and the OS is just as nicely designed.

Palm Pre does look quite nice, but I don't see the point of a pull out physical qwerty keyboard, from the size of it, it may as well be an on screen one. I like the iPhone keypad, especially now you can have it landscape in most circumstances, I can type on it as quick as any phone now.
Haven't actually seen one in the flesh though, so it may feel ok, need to handle one to be sure though.

Well it has a multitouch UI like the iPhone and many things the iPhone doesn't. Multitasking seems to be implemented very well and synergy sounds good.
Obviously less apps, but personally I think there are way too many apps on the iPhone and a very bad interface for browsing them. Why Apple can't just use a web browser instead of iTunes I don't know.
I'm only interested in a few apps and Tomtom is one of these.
I expected an OLED screen and some more cutting edge stuff on the new iPhone. I don't think it is a worthy upgrade for the hassle you have to go through to get one.

I had the "activation error" thingy, but let it carry on and all seems to have installed fine.
I am finding the landscape keyboard switch a bit slow.
Also, C&P is a bit fiddly (can't get the double-tap to work, but hold and select is fine).
Also, the apps were all over the shop and the drag-to-move very laggy.

Anyone else just get a txt promising MMS "within a few hours"? (mine seems to be available actually, but not tested it)

Type MMS and send it to 1010.

I have to agree about the sound quality, not very good. One issue I came up with is I download on a regular basis a number of podcasts that I listen to in the office. After the podcast is listened to it is replaced by the next issue of it and is deleted from the iTouch. OS 3.0 somehow resurrected a number of old podcasts, all dated 23 March of this year. I could not get them off the iTouch no matter how I changed the settings until I did the following, unsubscribed and deleted each podcast from iTunes, shut dow both iTunes and the Touch, then upon restarting both, re-subscribed to each podcast again. That seemed to resolve the issue. I am sure there a few more issues that will be coming up.

Tethering has been hacked already lol
|
|
|
|
Is that on Jailbrake phones though? If Tethering is abused and the free ride is detrimental to both the service and the profit O2 makes operating the network it could potentially force them into a more stringent usage allowance that affects everyone. People should understand life is not a free ride, someone has to pay in the end.

That's only for O2 isn't it? I'm on Vodafone.
Called them today and they say MMS is enabled, but I just can't get it to work, others over on the vodafone forums seem to have got it working though

Got it to work now, phoned Vodafone and they disabled and renabled MMS and it works fine

Snappier generally, C & P at last, been using that on my Treos for years. Palm Pre - I'm never going back to that platform, clunky as hell with no style.
As for Bluetooth, I haven't checked the tech specs but I'm guessing the bandwidth cannot support "hifi" in stereo so therefore needs some nasty compression.

According to this Apple are using the Bluetooth Advanced Audio Distribution Profile or A2DP for short. This is capable of very high quality sound provided the files stored on the Bluetooth device are in .aiff, 16bit .wav or Apple lossless format. See here
I am thinking of buying an iPod Touch in order to use this feature, has anyone tried it on the iPhone or iPod Touch yet?

Doesn't seem like a major upgrade, but then it was free 
Cut and paste will be useful. The horizontal keyboard might be nice too, but I've not had much cause to use it.

It's measurably faster here, at least in one application:
When checking Mail, I used to see frequent pauses when switching accounts. And swiping right to bring up the delete button for a mail item would often not register as a swipe, but would be seen as a tap instead, and open the mail. I put this down to lag in the interface. Now I see no such delays, Mail works very smoothly.
I very rarely felt the need for copy/paste before, so my problem now will be to remember that it's available on the odd occasion when I might use it. Landscape keyboard is OK, but leaves very little space to see what you're editing.
Push will be handy for Chat or Skype, I guess.
I really want to see that TomTom app.

Bluetooth was never designed for high quality stereo audio. It is a low bandwidth wireless protocol.
Wires are a pain, but there has to be a better protocol to use.

I'm using MobileMe for OTA contacts/calendar and push mail. Apple seems to have push right, as soon as a message appears (and sometimes before!) in my inbox, it's on my iPhone. With iPhone OS 2, push didn't seem to work as good.
At the moment, I'm waiting for a BeeJive IM update that supports push, this is where the iPhone and push will come into it's own.
I'm also looking forward to the TomTom application too.

Same here, everything seems to be just a touch quicker than it was before.

I installed 3.0 on my iPhone and it's killed the wifi. Have tried a complete reload but still does not work. Went to make an appointment with Apple in Milton Keynes and the next one is Monday between 12 and 1. No good to me.
Will be looking for a replacement phone.

Conor, have you tried re-setting your network settings? You will have to re-enter your wifi password afterwards.
|
|
|
|
Not a general issue - wifi still working strong on my upgraded 3G phone.

Same here, but some people, including Conor, seem to have had a problem and a Network reset seems to solve it.
|
|
|
Hi yes i did try that. Reset network, reinstalled os but still no joy. Ended up having the phone replaced as it was a hardware issue.

I too had a complete WiFi failure whilst running 3.0 Beta 5; swapped out within minutes be a Genius at an Applestore.
