Nice!
I am eagerly waiting for my new 3GS. Some of the features I think will be appreciated by the users are-
1. More storage- This is the clear value for money with the new phone- for the same price that people paid a month back for an 8 GB phone, new phone gives a good 8GB extra. More RAM and hence speed is, of course, icing on the cake
2. Better camera- really not much difference in expectations from a 3MP camera than what a 2MP provided. What I am looking forward to is- recording and uploading to youtube. Only if Apple was thinking about zoom :(
3. In built compass- I see use for that definitely!
4. Better battery life- Thanks for doubling the battery life! Less frustrating for sure. I was carrying my charger everywhere with me!
My sympathies for those who bought 3G more than a month back and have all their hopes tied to the new OS. Upgrade wont come cheap :(
