    Actually, it isn't odd. There are widespread reports of the camera lagging for many seconds or failing to respond at all. This isn't in contradiction to the camera working acceptably for others.

    Several things I just noticed with 3.0:

    1) The font in the Notes application is a little different (smaller?).

    2) When you type im it used to correct it to I'm. Now it corrects it to IM

    3) When playing a podcast you can now email it, rewind 30 seconds by taping a new icon and play it at 1/2x, 1x and 2x speed.

    4) When you begin scrubbing a podcast or music, you can adjust the scrubbing speed.

    5) After clicking Send when sending SMS the interface is a bit different. (Sending progress is at the top now.)



    I have the original iPhone by the way...



    Anything else?

    I've noticed that Safari is slower on some pages now. Also, the simple act of entering my passcode on the locking screen causes a slight burp in the OS. It lags. Still love the global search, though.

    Have now had OS 3 for several days... no hiccups to report and basically overall things feel faster.



    Can't wait to finally get my 3G S⃣ later this week...





    Hey, it actually worked!

    I also have the original iPhone... and it still corrects to "I'm". Apparently you've done something to piss off Steve!

    Just found it on some site myself (and messed up the first time I tried it). Type this without the spaces:



    S & # 8 4 1 9 ;



    The S (or whatever) gets boxed. X & 8 4 1 9 ; becomes: X⃣



    So I could get a 3⃣GS... Or a 3 G⃣ S .......



    Don't know if there's any way to control spacing better or to group characters in the box (the number worked well). 3GS⃣ has the box cutting the G...



    A few tests: S⃣ T⃣ E⃣ V⃣ E⃣ J⃣ O⃣ B⃣ S⃣ 5⃣ 9⃣

    Everyone driving a windows box must be going huh?

    Now that it's a weekday and I'm back at work on a winXP box, I too am no longer able to see these characters properly rendered.

    That's cool. Some of these characters can be found in the Character Palette but not all.

    I just noticed (because I rarely reboot my iPhone), that when I turn it on now, I get the white Apple logo and after that the screen goes black. Then if I hit the Home button, the phone shows me the lock screen. It's as if it goes straight from the Apple logo to a locked phone during boot up. It used to go from the Apple logo to showing the Home screen with the icons coming into view.



    I just rebooted my phone several times and it does this every time. Is it just me or have they changed the boot up sequence?

    1st Gen iPhone.

    I upgraded to 3.0 a day or two after it was available.

    Since then:

    1. Yahoo Mail hasn't pushed much, if at all. I have to manually refresh it.

    2. My phone service has gone downhill regarding quality and dropped calls.

    3. My data service has dropped considerably on the super-fast Edge network.



    I was only moments away from upgrading to a 3GS, but decided to wait to see if things get better.



    Anyone else having these problems? It can't be just me, but I haven't found other complaints about it (unless I flat-out missed them.)
