    me too matt!

    but i finally got it to dl and set up... then after it self restarted, i got your "fucking apple!" text but it wouldn't let me reply. shut down/restart... same problem. everything seems to be running slower as well.

    i thought 2.0 was a huge step forward. but so far, 3.0 is pretty buggy/memory hungry it seems.

    also, it jumbled up my app icons. not a big deal, but just a heads up. the spotlight search looks cool as hell, as does the audio notes too!

    :still trying to send a text...

    And yet I saw today that ATT's changed the upgrade policy to allow more people to pay the lower price for the new version. Why you ask? Well obviously b/c they can get more customers/$$$ that way. Yet to activate MMS (which won't require additional charges) seems to be on the back burner. Along with tethering.
    I'm glad they changed the upgrade policy, I have a cracked screen and it's been bothering me sine it happened. THe guy at the AT&T store told me that it only affects people who bought a 3G between July and September of '08 though. ( I got mine in August)

    you know, i've noticed that! i wish they'd make it go to the strongest possible signal automatically.

    It's just if you bought it between those months you don't have to wait until you are eligible for an upgrade, you can get an iPhone 3GS for the contract price when they come out on Friday, or whenever.

    I'd feel the same way if my screen wasn't fucked up. But it is. It still works fine, it's just annoying and ugly.

Not to mention the website i bought this stuff from gives free instructional video's on how to do it.
    hey, let me know how the repair goes. One of my friends cracked his screen and hes kinda fucked with the whole upgrade policy right now. Was it easy? difficult?

    All of the stuff I ordered was shipped today, so I should get it next week sometime. I will let you know for sure how it goes. I bought everything from this site

    http://www.gethightech.com/Merchant2...ry_Code=IPHONE

    There's the specific screen I purchased. It recommends the tools, etc, you need to repair it correctly and also has youtube video's.

    The upgrade worked for me. It froze on first attempt, but second attempt worked perfect.

    The cut-and-paste is nice to have. They finally fixed the stopwatch (previously, if you used the lap timer, you wouldn't ever get to see your total time, only lap times). The push notifications are pretty cool to have, too.

    The one feature I really wish they would put in, though I've never heard it mentioned, would be the ability to hide system icons that I don't want. For example, I don't use the stocks app, so instead of being able to hide it, I have to push it onto the last screen. The notepad, too, is pretty weak and I found a more feature filled one. I put the new MagicPad in place of Notes on the home page, but now I have Notes just sitting on the last page doing nothing. Same with Weather/Weather Channel.

    I agree. I hate having those useless apps cluttering up my screen.

    it's just like Notes except you can change font size, color, font and style (bold, italics, underline, strike-through).

    It also lets you cut/copy/paste internally within the app. It's not as important now that that feature is part of the OS, but the rest of the features are pretty nice.

    I really like the OS 3.0. Small but nice improvements.
    New search is generally excellent.
    I like that the finally fixed in the recent phone call lists it now says which number called you (Home versus cell versus work)
    Cut and paste will surely be very useful.

    I can't upgrade for another 15 months or so, so no 3GS for me...I'll happily wait for next year's update.

    Not only that but it also says how long the call was. I can't believe it didn't do that from the start, but I'm very glad it does now.

    Pre-ordered my 3G[box]s[/box] yesterday. Since we didn't get the order in by June 12, it's gonna be a 7-14 day wait.

    Sucks for the wife, as she's getting my iPhone when I get the new one.

    TAKE IT IN IMMEDIATELY. AT&T Might have a 30 day upgrade window. I think it's only 2 weeks, but maybe they will bend the rules.

    If not, then yes...it will cost $399 for the 16 Gig and $499 for the 32 Gig.

    A hint for next time, and I apologize for sounding like an ass...but whenever you invest in new technology, look up their product cycle. It was known since April that the new phone would be announced in early June.

    hmm...should have been $499 for an early upgrade price. $699 is the non contract price.
