Well, I’m one of the nerds who had iTunes open and kept clicking the Check for Update. FINALLY, at 10:06 am PDT, it said that 3.0 was available.
Of course I chose download and update, and of course after 45 minutes of updating the frickin’ phone was stuck on the update bar. So, I unplugged the phone (impatient!) and iTunes complained about abject failure. Anyway, long story short I did a restore and update and now it’s working fine.
1 quirk - the E doesn’t change to a Wifi icon when I am connected to WiFi (I have an original iPhone (not 3G).
Anyway, some new features, the biggest of which is system wide cut-and-paste.
Here’s a link to “16 Tips to Become an INSTANT iPhone OS 3.0 Power-User” – handy.
In in-depth review of the new firmware at ArsTechnica is here.
