I've heard a lot about the new features in OS 3.0 like copy, cut paste, landscape, tethering, MMS all well and good but I would like to hear some on the rest of the new features of which they claimed at there being about 100. Any body running 3.0 that call tell us about the additional, less obvious new features in 3.0?
