It is indeed terrible. But then again you can easily just pretend it's not there. Since the iPhone 3G I can honestly count the times I've used the keypad on one hand.
Got a tip for us?

iOS 6 All the Little Things

On my phone, my weeks start on Monday. I don't know where this can be changed. Maybe it has something to do with the localization settings.
Don't know iOS6, but iOS5 have a setting under general, international, regional format (not sure of exacts labels since mine isn't in english) that adapts the calendar among other settings depending on the country. Maybe that's useful.
You can see all the changes in iOS 6 GM here: http://imagineaworld.wordpress.com/2012/06/30/ios-6/
Quite useful.
Quite useful.
You can now have an empty page in springboardyou couldn't before, if you moved the last app it would delete that page.
Why would you want that?
I couldn't see this one on the first page, although I may have missed it.
This will be extremely minor point to some, but it's very useful for me. My iPhone is my personal phone & I have another one, typically, for work use. Occasionally, however, I will read some news article or something & want to email it to my work address.
This is fine until I have the situation where I have changed jobs and I could find no way within previous versions of iOS to remove my old works email address from the auto complete list.
This resulted in me having to be very careful to select the correct one avoiding any finger trouble.
Anyway, you are now given the option to remove an address from this "recent" list, which will save me time & remove the need for me to have the manual dexterity of a surgeon when sending an email
EDIT: I've added in a picture to show the interface. It only works when the email address to be removed is not included within one of your iPhone contacts, which would make sense.

I've been able to do that on my iPhone since iOS 5, it works on the first page, but not on other pages. Only page 1 can be blank.
I haven't tried making page 1 blank with my iPad though.
One thing about this that has changed with iOS 6, however, is when you reboot your phone with a blank first page, it no longer brings all your apps from page 2 to page 1. It did that in iOS 5 and it annoyed the crap out of me. Not anymore, page 1 will remain blank after reboots.
i don't know if anyone else have noticed this or is it just me feeling like this happens but;
when the phone is in locked state, when you press the home or lock button to light up the lock screen, it's like it fades in. it doesn't just instantly light up like the old ones were.
or it's just me feeling like it but i definitely think it's fading in rather that just "snap", i'm on.

It actually has to do with auto brightness! Mine only does that on some places

Doesn't do that on my iPhone 4.
One thing i've noticed is that when my phone is locked and I hear the new Mail alert, when I unlock it the Notification no longer folds down from the top as it used to do in iOS 5. I quite like this subtle change as it would sometimes annoy me when all these notifications would appear as I unlock my phone. Anyone else noticed this?
I'm still surprised how Apple did not add/change small things to unify functionality between their devices.
Unified Omnibar in Safari
Pictures in Notes for syncing with iPad
Private switch IN Safari not in the settings, in fact they should make private browsing per tab feature.

How do I assign different caller IDs? I have not been able to solve this?
Also, does anyone know if the GPS works in airplane mode?
That was added in earlier builds of the beta. I noticed that too. I also noticed during the beta that I had duplicate bookmarks, due to the ones on my iPad, Mac and iPhone.
