Oh my...are you in for a treat, then! I came from a 3GS too, and the speed will blow you away. You've definitely got something to look forward to!

Honestly, I feel like my 3GS is so fast already with iOS 5.
Man, I'm excited.
You folks are patient.
The 3GS on iOS 5 was driving me nuts it's so slow. Apple shouldn't even be selling it anymore with that version of iOS.
4s is so fast it's a pleasure to use iOS again -- since iOS 4 the 3GS has been a lackluster experience

If I recall, T-mobile has been bought by orange so people on either get both signals, so aslong as your in an orange 3G area, you'll recieve 3G signal
Pay a little more attention
, they are talking about TMobile USA.I'm really digging the 4S. I've owned the iPhone, 3G, 3GS, 4, and now a white 64GB 4S. I also have a droid bionic but I generally don't bring that up in polite conversation.
The screen is bright and white and the speed is awesome. My battery life is about half of the iPhone 4...because I use it twice as much. Thanks to the speed, Siri, and increased 3G speeds on AT&T, I find myself using the phone much more at home and on the train and whipping out my Macbook Air less. It has become even more of a go-to device. The only downside is lack of a jailbreak and that should be remedied soon.
All in all even with heavy use I still only charge my iPhone once a day with maybe a couple 10 minute charges here and there. My Bionic on the other hand dies every day whether I use it or not.

I charge my phone every night. Battery life is similar to my 2.5 year old 3Gs. I was hoping for better... One of my few disappointments with the phone.
Stop making me jealous.
Ooops sorry!!! I was going to hold out until after Christmas but broke down when I heard I could get unlocked phones early. So glad I did! The one benefit of paying full price and no contract.

i think I'm on the same boat. i bought my 4s two days ago and can't put it down. the increase in speed from my late 4 is huge. i can notice for sure. the games run way smoother, i played modern combat 3 on both, and on the 4s the experience is awesome. i tough i had an xbox in my hands
i got the 16g, i was thinking of getting the 64g because of my music library is huge, but what the heck ! i got my iClassic 160g for that

It's been a month and I can no longer return my iPhone 4s. Wouldn't want to if I could. Still loving it. Practicing with using Siri more often. Trying to get comfortable talking to her and figuring out how she works best for me.
My poor iPad. It's gotten the biggest fallout from this new phone. I'm sure I'll get back to it eventually but for now I'm still using my phone almost exclusively and ignoring it.
How about the rest of you? Still in love?

I always love female tech nerds
Glad you love your 4S Heather. Once I get a 4S where the battery lasts a full day I'm sure I will feel the same way
How much are you using it during the day? It dies with no usage?
good stuff
Yeah loving mine and i came from a 4...loving the speed improvements and siri has generally been very good too. No more having to get in the car to text my gf to tell her i'm leaving i do that while i walk to the car...perfect
Thats good. Some people say the iPhone is to hard to operate, or they won't upgrade to the latest firmware.
The phone is essentially the same as the 3Gs, but for some reason I'm just enjoying using it more. Probably because it's faster and the screen is easier on my eyes. Whatever the reason I'm enamored.
The last time I did a full battery drain I was at nearly 9 hours usage and 1 day 9 hours standby.
FYI I'm using an offGRID case this week and so far I'm at 10 hours usage, 2 days 16 hours standby and 38% battery remaining plus 1/4 the juice of the offGRID left for a top off.
I love that too!
iPhone hard to operate? I haven't heard that. Of course after 3 years I've got it down pretty well
