What New 3GS Feature Have You Not Used?

Voice Control, although I think I may end up using it once I'm used to it/remember it's there :p

Video, although again I imagine I'll end up using it a bit.

Accessibility stuff: I just don't need it.

How about you get a good email provider like Gmail and forward your hotmail messages to your Gmail account?

i've already paid the $20 and have found it to be worth it...if for nothing more than being able to easily use the same email account i've had for 12 years...i was just saying that there is a way to get hotmail to function properly...albeit a monetary one
 
I haven't bothered to even try out the voice control or voice memo features, as I know I'd never use them. Haven't used copy-and-paste, although I did experiment to see how it works. Played with the compass once. I haven't tried out the Accessibility features, as I won't need them, either.

I HAVE used the camera several times and was pleasantly surprised at the results. I have played with shooting video, but haven't gone too far with that.

I am definitely enjoying the increased capacity and the increased speed.
 
standalone compass app and voice notes are both useless to me.

I will use voice control more once 3.1 is out and I can initiate calls from my BT headset.

if you're curious, VC works with the Apple wired headset

(just sayin' :apple: )
 
I've used everything except accessibility and uploading a video to youtube. I have actually use the video function though...just not shared yet.
 
i haven't shot a video yet! :eek:

i haven't "used" the compass, although i have opened it a couple times to look at it... it's a bit useless.... :rolleyes:
 
The compass app is useless and just for show, however the integration into maps is superb. Helped me extremely on my trip to Wimbledon recently.
 
Voice Control - Only to show it off to other people
Compass - Nope
Video Camera - A TON

Actually, not really true....I have hotmail working on my iphone and it works just fine. I did just send some test emails between my hotmail account and my yahoo account and both of them work fine on the iPhone and I didn't pay anything.
Check it out again ;)
 
I havn't really used voice control, aside from playing around with it when i first got it. :eek:

I have free Hotmail (2 different accounts) using the built-in Mail app. If you do a little digging online you can find that Microsoft has enabled IMAP support for free for most account users EXCEPT those in the US. Google it and you can find the correct settings to use to change your account from US to UK. It makes absolutely no difference in how your account operates other than that while on hotmail.com you will see UK ads. Works perfectly...all the time.
 
MMS....'cuz AT&T won't let me. I still haven't even figured how one would use MMS on my 3G S...god I'm dumb today (just got my 3G S yesterday)
 
Well, as of tonight, I will not use any iPhone 3GS features... I'm returning it for a full refund. Don't ask why.
 
Why all the hating on TheSpaz? Poor kid has a flaky 3G chip.

You're being annoying. Please stop constantly posting about your plight with regards to technology. We found your craziness amusing for a few minutes, but it's just stale now.

How exactly do you forward an email account to another? It just puts all new inbox messages in a different email's inbox?
 
compass...useless to me....And it was a week before i remembered it had voice control...
 
I use them all:
Voice Control (for iPod mostly)
Compass (I find it to be accurate enough to use, mostly in Google Maps for map orientation)
Video Recording (lots)
3MP Camera with Auto-Focus (a lot)
Increased Speed/Upgraded Graphics (every day)...

All in all I couldn't be happier with my upgrade from my original 8GB iPhone
 
finally got MMS to work

After going through countless trial and error updating various ipcc patches, I finally got MMS to send/receive correctly and work flawlessly with Visual Voicemail and Tethering on my unjailbreak 3GS. I haven't called ATT Customer Service and I didn't try any sim trick either. For me, MMS being disabled was all the in the settings. My friend received my MMS in seconds, even though his iphone 3G cant send MMS yet.
 
I use Google Maps & Safari the most (LOVE the 3G speed, much much much faster than edge :) )

I actually forgot that voice control was a feature until two days ago.
