Available June 17
It's not available just yet. I hope this upgrade goes smoothly when it is available.

Today is a day of waiting. Waiting for Apple to send out the version 3.0 update. Waiting for the update to download. Waiting for the firmware to update, and then the restore of your apps and settings to finish. That's a lot of screen staring. Here's some helpful hints on things you can do while you wait.... and wait.
* Consider how nice it would be to send an MMS, but that involves more waiting (if you're an AT&T customer), maybe until fall
* Think about how to unload your current iPhone on eBay so you can get the 3G S and go through more reloading fun
* Pretend you can tether (thanks AT&T)
* Start making a list of all the missing features in version 3.0
* Prepare a note to TUAW saying reception is much better with the update (or worse)
* Prepare a note to TUAW complaining that reception hasn't changed
* Plan what your first tune will be after you update, or who you will call first (but they are updating too and won't be able to answer)
* Dream about your first copy and paste
See, it's easy to pass the time. Happy updating! What will you be doing?

Just that it is faster and has a few more bells and whistles. I'm only halfway thru my contract, so I'm not thinking of upgrading.
My missing feature list is short: Why can't I wake to music from the iPod? I can do it on my iPod Classic, on my iPod nano, but not on my iPhone!

I think I've got cut & paste figured out... then I try to replicate the process, but to no avail.
No, wait, now I've got it! Wait a minute...
Ah ha! I know how to use it now!
But for what?

No major glitches so far. All I really wanted from this update was that it wouldn't brick the phone I'll be using for another 2 days.
Picking up 3GS on Friday. That better have the latest firmware pre-installed on it.

What's the 3G S got that makes you want to upgrade so quickly?

^3G. I never upgraded from my 2G because I didn't see enough of an upgrade with the 3G. Now I do.

I upgraded from a Moto RAZR to an iPhone 3G. It was a pretty good/big upgrade!

^ I'd say so.
As I've stated in another thread, if you already own the iPhone 3G, there just isn't enough incentive to get the new one this Friday. Since the camera is the only real upgrade, you're better off buying a nice point 'n shoot.

3.0 adds a lot of the features that I used jailbreak to get to on my 2G and even the 3G.
Really, cut/copy/paste and global search are what I missed the MOST from my Blackberry. I travel a lot for business and it was such a breeze with my blackberry to stand at the hotel front desk and search for my confirmation numbers. I couldn't do this at all with the iPhone prior to 3.0 without jailbreaking to get email search functions.
I'm happy that this is finally providing the features I've needed to abandon the blackberry for good.

Gizmodo comparison with the 3GS - downloading update later this evening. I pretty much love my iPhone - it has a few moments here and there but most of the time it works beautifully and it is fun. When I am away I use it like a mini computer, it's handy.
