Just updated my 4S to iOS6. Was on 5.1 before, with a jailbreak. Didn't want to lose my jailbreak but I figured one will be available soon enough.

I like the subtle changes that I keep noticing. The dial pad, the colors, status bar, etc.

I'm reading all these topics and reading about people having all these problems. I don't know if you guys did something wrong, but it installed perfectly and is running perfectly with no issues on my 4S.

One thing I noticed/liked right away: Texting. Seems that iMessages send 4X as fast as before, no lag what so ever. My phone in general seems a lot quicker. I thought my 4S was already pretty snappy, but it seems even faster now. My friend who just updated said his 4 felt faster too on iOS6.

Also, Safari seems quicker, and I love the full screen look when you turn the phone sideways.

One thing I dislike right away: The App Store. It's very strange and cluttered. And it seems to stutter a little bit. I think that a few kinks need to be worked out regarding that.

Haven't even started using any of the new features yet. I played with Siri for a second. Haven't used Maps yet...one thing that I can't wait to check out is panoramic camera mode.

All in all, I'm not mad that I lost my jailbreak. I think it's a cool upgrade and I'm pleased to see that my 4S is running it smooth as butter!

What are you thoughts? Pleased/displeased? Also, what device do you have? 4,4S?
