I am waiting for for all these fixes before trading my 3G for 3GS. I was going to buy a 3GS last week when I read an article that complained about accidental deletion of videos or something like that.
Glad to hear, Apple is taking care of this so fast. Way to go!
I hope they resolve this annoying whining sound. The high pitched one you hear from the speaker. This is getting beyond frustrating especially as it is present in the voice memos and the video recordings
I noticed this immediately, but only when I docked with the Griffin dock. It does the whiney response the first time it connects with the dock. But if you remove it and connect again, it doesn't.

My 3GS gets me through 2 days with excessive use and 3 if I hardly use it.
I always let it die befoe charging and always let it fully charge before unplugging it.
I also get good batt life and I take a lot of video. I've had my phone for six days and have charged it twice since the initial full charge.

If we can get a basic video editor that would be awesome: trimming, splicing and some other functions would be great. Voice-over... add audio file (1 track would be fine, 2 better).
My guess is no unless they put something in the phone to make the "call the last call" feature on most headsets stop doing that and start the voice command.

I would love to be able to start apps using voice command instead of navigating through 7 pages of apps or typing the name in spotlight. Laziness is the driving power behind all invention
I'd like to see them fix the distortion on the speaker when playing notification sounds, regular music or anything sound related. I noticed this issue on all their floor models and the 3GS phones I have. I would also like to see the ability to snooze calendar events and instead of it popping up, place a simple badge instead.
Oh man! I really hope they do something about the awful battery life. I can't make it through a full day without recharging.... and this is only after very moderate use.
Anyone else having battery issues with the new 3Gs???
Hopefully they'll fix the accuracy of Voice Dialing, it's been utterly inaccurate especially with foreign names ( I even tried reading the names the same way the iPhone pronounces them). I'd like to see a feature where I can "teach" the Voice Dialer the correct name, if it got it wrong, by pointing it to the correct one in my address book.
Also, while talking on the iPhone I'm still unable to view my list of voicemails or my recent calls.
voice control doesn't work for me. I mus tawlk funnee or sommit
I am a brit for starters, and a west country one at that.
Apple let me know when it understands UK farmer dialect.
My iPhone seems to always confuse the number three with eight when I ask it to call a number. I thought I might have been pronouncing the number three wrong all this time until my wife told me she is having the exact same problem with her iPhone
Yep, I've got the same problem. It's very inaccurate and utterly useless.

What they need to do is change it to work the same way as almost every other phone out there - have the user record a voice tag for the contacts in their address book and then only attempt to match a voice control command to those tags. That way, matching would be far more accurate but I suspect Apple are falling back into their NIH mentality. I wonder if it's occurred to them to reinvent the wheel yet...
1) Display an icon in the status bar when the phone is in silent mode. Currently there is only a brief flash of a symbol when you move the switch and there is no further indication.
2) Ability to configure separate screen locking intervals for running on battery and when connected to a charger.
3) Wireless notes and tasks syncing with Exchange.

I thought it was supposed to be 25% better than the last model? How can this be?
OH GAWD HERE COMES TECKSTUD WITH HES COMMENTS ON THE IPHONE BEING NOT GOOD!
How about voice commands for "What time is it?", or "What is the temperature?".
Even if it is displayed it's a great idea. If I'm doing something where I can't get the phone out of my pocket I can still find out what time it is.

Very odd.

Annoying whining sound? What is that about?
I always let it die befoe charging and always let it fully charge before unplugging it.
I never hacked to use tethering but now that i updated to 3.1, tethering works over both USB and bluetooth.
So i suppose it dosent matter if the work around is functioning still.
Neither have I. So you are confirming tethering is active in the new 3.1 update?

Dreaming...
... Other changes include modified iTunes Store icons that rearrange themselves back to default after opening and closing the app ...
This sentence makes no sense at all. What exactly was meant here?

+2 new 3GS phones in our house.
