So far it is treating me much better than my 2G. Soo much faster loading apps. Just gonna take a while installing my apps and transferring 29GB of data...
One issue I'm having is...It's been activated since 11 am et but I still don't have visual voice mail? When I go to voice mail it starts dialing voice mail.
Anyone else experiencing this?

Speaker Volume?
Can somebody tell me if there is a difference on the speaker volume comparing the new 3G S with the 3G?
Thanks!

Can all you new owners please confirm these two observations because these are two issues that irritate the hell out of me with my 3G iPhone: is the silent switch still too easily accidentally set to silent when you pull it out of a holster (which has made me miss many calls and texts); and is the audio and speaker finally really louder than the 2G (never really fixed in the 3G)?

Go ahead and call voicemail. Allow the message to play all the way through. Hangup. Do it again.
If it doesn't shake vm free the first time, the second time will.
(this happened with the 3.0 upgrade too.) Visual Voicemail will return.

initial impression
Believe that the speaker is clearly louder. Was playing some ipod music through it just for the hell of it and first reaction was, that's most definitely louder.
This is not just a nominal upgrade. Went to local AT&T. Was one of the first people after they handled the preorder folks. Thrilled they had 32GB in.
The speed is no joke but there are a number of other pluses out of the gate. First backup/restore is very fast now. At least 2-3x. Nice improvement.
The screen is not just warmer. It actually looks better, more crisp. Hard to quantify. It was like hmmm this screen is better. Also the feel of the screen has almost a softer feel perhaps because of the smoothness of reaction across the board.
iPod. Trying to figure this out. Seems like they may have done something to improve the internal DAC. It now resembles more my Lavry DAC (external) I use in my stereo system. Could be my imagination but maybe someone that knows can comment. (I'm using custom headphones: ultimate ears triple fi with personalized earplugs so the difference would be noticeable. Probably not on those earbuds included.)
Safari is a LOT faster. Feels like at least 2x or more. The wait was almost always annoying before, even on wifi. Big difference now.
Mail loads a lot faster too. Whether checking one or downloading a bunch.
It's only the beginning. But pretty psyched with getting this in hand not even 24 hours after selling the 3G.
Nice job Apple! And congrats to ATT as well for their preorder system and having some extra for walk ins today. Man that was a nice surprise.
Apple may finally have this thing worked out. Preorders takes away the big brouhaha but they may do better on sales as ATT is said to have already sold hundreds of thousands in preorders alone.
To all the haters (re: Endgadget) who mocked the 3GS: PWNED.

GRRRRRR.... Me too!!! All the more reason they should have let me get my preorder early!! Oh well, I guess this is a good sign for my Apple stock (hopefully they sold more than expected!).
I wonder how many times thespaz will get back in line to exchange til he feels the buttons are flush enough and he is satisfied?

Bingo!! Thanks!
to enable battery percentage go to usage and then turn on battery percentage. so stoked on this feature too.
so stoked on this feature too.I swear if this thing doesn't start playing ball that's it with me and Iphone. It keeps shutting apps down - and these are the standard things like camera. Tried to video then click through to the camera roll to view it - doesn't want to know.
