Sat Nav doesn't need a built in compass.
But I guess it was the one feature most users had been crying out for....

I wish it would have actually had the rubbery back like that picture that was released a while back.

[confucious]

I went into a Chinese restaurant and complained that the chicken was rubbery - they took it as a compliment....

I wish apple had gone with matte back. i hate the streaky greasy gloss back but i dont care for cases... oh well ill keep wiping my phone and washing my now bloody hands at a compulsive rate ;D

Looks nice, can't wait to get mine.

I wish appled would have pushed a camera with a little higher mega pixel than 3.12...
there are so many phones out there with 8mp and now even 12mp so for apple making us wait so long I wish they would of went all out on this one... but then again I guess they need to leave some room for next years iphone. I am really excited about the cpu on the 3gs as most the other features we could have somewhat activated with third-party apps...

Pre ordered my black 16gb and will pick it up on friday!!! Yeeeeeeeeeeah booooooooooooi!

Yes, both will be available of course.

It can't actually be gold trim, LOL, and if it was I would never buy it. Unless I went with a gold tooth to match. ;P Can we say tacky? Of course, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

It has to be a lighting or reflection issue... there's NO WAY they would make it gold.

So why dont you tell us what you would have done to make it different/better? You can only do so much with a device. A screen and some buttons. Why fix what isnt broken? WTF?

I think a lot of people are missing out on the compass possibilities.

How many realized the accelerometer could be used for so much more than simple portrait/landscape orientation switching? The flexibility provided by Apple's using such sophisticated hardware enabled a lot more.

Well, the accelerometer has one limitation - it can not detect when you rotate the iPhone around a vertical access - but the magnetometer can. Now games have an additional access of control available.

I agree that a matte back would've been better, but I'm still excited to pick this one up, simply for the extra storage and CPU boost.

Talked to Apple and they guarantee delivery by the 19th

Instead of spending sooo much money on a new iPhone, I'd rather get a MacBook.

[confucious]

I wonder if I can get a Mac Book from the library..... :/

While I would have liked some appearance changes (matte black case primarily, even with silver ring) keeping the same form factor is a big benefit for purchasing accessories.

I can order my Vaja case now (if their web site works (and why don't they still sell Rivet???)) and have it a lot sooner than waiting for new development.

We could start by removing the cheap and nasty plastic casing.
