Question Happy or Not Happy With Your iPhone 3GS?

Exactly what the title says... all those who received their 3G S, was the wait and/or price worth it? Are you happy, sad, mad, glad, no thoughts yet, or other?

Voice your thoughts here!

P.S. There was a four person line for the pre-orders (I got there at 7:10am)

There was a 3 person line at the ATT store I was at. I am happy with it. I sold my 3g on ebay unlocked for 550$ and used an upgrade on our family line to get the 32gb 3gs for 299$. 250$ and a new phone with new features was definitely worth it in my case and a no brainer! I am not sure if I would have spent anything above 400$ to get the phone but I love the new camera and the speed on the 3gs is definitely a lot better. The lag time when switching between things like apps and the phone and stuff is a lot less...I will update again once I play with it some more.

Glad to hear that. I did notice how fast it was w/o even going into apps. The response time from flipping screens, using home key to quickly go to the search as well as waking it up from sleep and sliding to unlock.

I haven't taken mine out since the store. I really want BeeJive to update before I start using it.

Picked mine up at the Apple store in Boca Raton this morning, was about 20 in line around 5am, got pulled to front of line at 7 because of reserved phone and by the time I left line was close to 150 people!

All in all, I think it was worth the purchase simply to have the battery meter give me a percentage, seriously, 200 dollars was worth it for that reason alone!

haha I like the battery meter too...

I hear you on BeeJive as well I am a little disappointed that a lot of the apps arent updated or ready for 3.0? Are there any updated for Push Notifications?

I believe it is being done on purpose.

IM apps that were submitted a long time ago (especially AIM; BeeJive a week I believe) and ESPN score center. I guess Apple wants to make sure the activations go as smooth as possible then releasing them.

The dumbest apps have them approved.

I love mine, but I also upgraded from a first gen, so it was quite a jump. You're right, Duvi, just switching through screens on the springboard feels faster. Scrolling through lists, too. Loading the Sims was insane! That's where I could REALLY see the speed. Wow. I love my 3G S

Glad you're happy with the purchase. I don't really play games, but was thinking of trying that out as well as the Metal Gear one.
