I haven't touched the compass, used voice control or shot a video yet.
Aside from "playing" what features have little or no use to you?

Camera is excellent and video will surprise you.
If you take it on a well lit day it is good enough to show on a full size TV without any complaints.
In low light its rubbish though.
Voice control I use all the time and it save me having to dial.

I should have put that disclaimer. I'm sure everyone tried out most of the new things when they got their phone. My curiosity is now that people have had them for a couple of weeks, how much are the new features really getting used?
The funny thing is, that is the one feature I would likely use on a daily basis.
really? it works fine for me...doesnt seem to push but i assume they may still be working the kinks out
Is this something new? Why doesn't hotmail work? I have never had a problem with hotmail working. And what is the $20. About?
Voice memo or voice controls. Have played with the video feature but not recorded any - nice knowing it's there, though, I'll use it some day.
I've sent about 10 MMS's since getting the 3G
also have used copy and paste quite a few times
Hotmail does work, if you go through safari.......
but it won't work in the sense that you'll get a notification when you actually get an e-mail.......
the problem with going through safari is that any pictures do not show up on hotmails mobile site...not to mention its annoying to navigate....if you pay the $20 to upgrade to a hotmail "plus" account it can be configured to work like every other normal email
Other than playing around, and/or showing to other people, I haven't used the compass, video recording, or voice control really.
Voice control makes me feel like everybody's staring at me if I use it in public

How about you get a good email provider like Gmail and forward your hotmail messages to your Gmail account?
Yeah, like most I messed with everything I could.
I'm using voice control more often now though.
