Got mine in the mail this morning at 1030. It cancelled my mms so I was pissed for a while but the speed is amazing. Plus I also reactivated my mms and its working wonderfully about to mms a video to test but pictures work great.

Apps don't seem that much faster to me. I think it's because they mostly run now at the speed I always wanted them to run at (rather than having an annoying lag), but it's not like I think they're loading fast ... just faster. But I am really happy with the speed of web page loading and rendering in Safari. That alone makes the upgrade worth it.

Actually the 32 GB of space alone would have made the upgrade worth it. (I'm one of those suckers who would have bought a 32 GB iPhone 3G back in say Feb 2009 just like I bought a 16 GB EDGE iPhone in Feb 2008 even though my 8 GB iPhone was only 3 months old at that point).

Pretty excited to test out the still and video cameras taking pics and vids of my son and family this weekend, esp. for Father's Day. Guess I got my present early this year!
Glad to see I'm not the only person like that lol.

I'm a first time iPhone owner and it's great! I'm typing this on my iPhone and it's so easy! My previous phone was a razr so this is a welcome upgrade. I can't share my experiences with the difference in speed but things are definitely very quick loading. Didn't think I'd appreciate having mobile web access so much

I love Love LOVE my iPhone 3GS! =D It's soooo freaking fast. The camera is very impressive, including video. Voice control works great for calls... but not so much for iPod (for me anyway).

I'm extremely happy with my purchase.. but now I need nap!

SO I just was on my iPhone, using speaker, and saw a few cracks by the volume control already! I read it was an issue on 3G. Is it anything to worry about? Should I contact Apple?

First time iphone user here and I am very impressed! We got to at&t at 7am (we preordered) and we had a 3 phone family plan set up in about 20 minutes, which included porting our numbers from verizon. Since I've never had an iphone, I can't compare it, but it's definitely fast! I absolutely love the copy and paste feature and I'm sure I'll be using it a lot. While searching around safari, I found a link to an article I thought my boyfriend would like so I just copied it and sent it to him in a text! I couldn't believe how easy it was.

I'm with you. Wanted one ever since it first came out. It was a perfect day. Didn't wait long, things went smoothly and reception is great in my apt.

Battery life isn't the best... But that's ok- I've been pretty much surfing the web and trying everything out

The compass is accurate- I had the same issue indoors. The iPhone was showing west as north. But outside it worked perfectly.

It's so cool that it's syncs up to google calendar!
