I picked mine up this morning.
Much less hassle. Went to BB last night, pre-ordered, and picked it up at 10:30am this morning.
Speed is fantastic as is the camera. I came from a 3G and never used the camera because it was so bad.
Emailing and uploading video is great. Now what I'd like is Apple to integrate a few more options beyond Youtube, I'd LOVE to be able to upload to SharePoint or an FTP site directly.
My wife has a 2G and did not want a new one...played with the 3GS for about 5 minutes and saw the video stuff, now back to the store.

The "I Got My iPhone 3G S" - First Impressions Thread
I got my 3gs this morning and i love it it is so much faster. the screen is much better. I had to settle for the black because they were sold out of whites
i am going to put a white capsule rebel case on it though. The only problem i have had so far is the compass is way off. Does anybody else have this problem?

It hasn't scratched mine at all. I think people who report scratches are the ones who keep taking the case on and off... to check for scratches. Just leave it on!
No case is perfect but the Slider is pretty close!
go into your contacts and hold down the button , behold voice control

You can hold the home button from the home screen as well, just let it go after a few secs.
I'm coming from a BB Curve, the only thing I really miss is BB Messenger (Push IM). Other than that, this rocks..
Sounds like AIM is the only push IM app on the horizon?

Yes thanks that as well i know sorry forgot to mention, not eaten all day had to grab some food before my brain totally packed up, not been able to drag myself away from the iphone. love the compass on the map , I will never get lost again yipee
Keep an eye on Beejive. The next version is likely to push.

I also played with the palm Pre today was not that bad, but didnt like the tiny keyboard.
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.
+1
That did the trick. Thanks!!
has anybody who preordered not been re-charged on their debit or credit and are currently in possession of their phone? Of course my pending dropped a few days ago but i was never recharged, even when I went to pick up the phone today at the ATT store.
My Iphone 3gs experience
Placed my order on 6/8 and it didn't ship until Thursday morning. Needless to say, I was skeptical I would get it this morning. Sure enough, they shipped it overnight delivery and it came on Friday as stated.
I got mine via Fedex at 9:30am this morning. I did a full backup of my iphone earlier this morning in preparation. I plugged the new phone in and it asked me for my information for activation. Activation took all of 2 minutes to accomplish. Afterwords, I disconnected and reconnected as requested by Itunes so I could restore the latest backup. The backup took about 20 minutes to complete, but the restore took maybe 5 minutes. Then all my music, movies, and apps re synced without a problem.
My initial impression was it was fast. Faster than my 16gb Iphone 3g thats for sure. Apps launched much faster. Browsing was faster on 3g and Wi-Fi. No delays at all. That just made upgrading much more justified.
I haven't fooled much with the camera, but I like the quality of the pictures. I also haven't done anything with push notifications yet, but I am looking forward to it. I might have to spend the time to activate the MMS portion, but I haven't yet and don't know if I will.
Overall, I am happy with my 32gb Iphone 3gs. Its awesome!

W00t! Got mine!
In fact, I got two. One this morning from the AT&T store for my fiancee, and one just now from the Apple Store via FedEx. I haven't had much to form an impression of yet except speed. ZOOM ZOOM this baby is much faster than my first gen.
One thing I did notice ... even though these are both Black iPhone 3GS 32GB, they have different part numbers. MB717LL/A for mine, MC137LL/A for hers. I wonder if the AT&T store gets a different part number ... ?
