Personally, it's getting on my nerves a bit.

Push doesn't seem to be working at all for IMAP accounts and Gmail, where it was before and I'm not getting MobileMe.

The keyboard is crazy-slow to respond and I'm getting crashes left, right and centre. I actually had to restore because Mail kept crashing when I tried to send an email. I'm a little disappointed, this feels like a beta release.
 
Not had any crashes yet, apart from the activation issues i'm loving it.

Direct connection to my exchange server is fantastic and the e-mails update very fast, gmail account works, still trying to figure out what to do about hotmail.

Loving the BBC Iplayer support and the wireless remote for itunes is great.

Not so happy with Super Monkey Ball, it could be better i think they need to change the tilt slightly.
 
iPhone and iPhone 3G noth sailing along. One hard crash on each requiring the two finger salute. Never had a hard crash on the old firmware. So something is up, but it is not beserk.

Could you expand on this? I know they've updated the web interface for iPhone, but can you stream over 3G now?

Just iPhone website based interface, however i would love a download player app with video downloads, that would be fantastic :)

No 3g streaming :(

Oh to add to my list of 'i wish it would' bluetooth data modem would have been a nice option!
 
Many people are having problems, others not, luckily I haven't had any problems yet.

MobileMe is pushing everything perfectly, phone is working fine so far. Very happy :D

After playing the game on the Gamecube & Wii it doesn't quite feel the same, its actually harder!

Not sure if other agree?

The controls are pants. TBH I could really do with an on screen icon to indicate what the game thinks my tilt is (a circle with a dot in it for example to show whether I'm at 0 or full tilt in each direction) or at least some way to adjust sensitivity and dead zones.

I thought the controls were annoying to begin with but you quickly get used to what is 0, and you can feel for everything else from there. It's really difficult and I wish there was some way to save checpoints between levels, but that's a complaint I have of bomberman too.

Overall, I think the calibre of apps I've had a chance to play with is very high and a great indicator of what's to come, I just wish the OS didn't seem so laggy and push was supported on more than mobileme and yahoo. Ah well.
 
Crap battery life, the plastic rattles when the phone vibrates if its at a certain angle (its not just my phone either, all the ones in the office do the same)

Other than that I love it, the GPS is immense, so accurate and quick to pin point your position

I drove to PC World yesterday and watched it the whole way, it knew exactly where I was, when I stopped and where, fantastic
 
is it possible to use the 3G connection through your macbook? i had heard mixed rumours but it would be awesome to have a constant free internet connection whereever you go :)

considering i can go online using my standard W910i, surely this can do it?
 
yeah, the battery is a bit of a kicker. Going to calibrate mine and see if it makes much difference. Hopefully it'll improve when the novelty wears off and I'm not playing Monkey Ball loads. I've turned off the location aware stuff as I don't really see the need. The battery's lasted quite well since I did that. Looking forward to a context menu and some other, more fundamental apps like a Finder and Terminal (hey, it might happen!!)

Edit: sootylad, I don't think it is possible

After playing it more last night i have now found the best position to hold the iPhone.

You need to use both hands middle fingers under the device and grab the edges of the screen, means you can drop any corner, so you need to move the iPhone by the edges not rotate around the centre axis.

Kinda hard to explain but it makes the game so much more controllable.
