iOS5 got it?

Anyone got it running yet?

My first thoughts are that it really is another good improvement, in fact its a very big improvement, i cant test out Siri until my 4s arrives on friday but been testing the icloud and imessages apps etc and so far i must say its really really good, the latest phone itself may only be a facelift but the true genius is in the OS.

Biggest improvements for me:

iMessage - For someone with low signal in the house but great internet like me this is a blessing, no charges for texts and everything just sent over the wifi network

iCloud - Seems like a great idea, i managed to get a quality e-mail address as an early adopter, only downside is the limit on 5GB backup before you need to pay to increase your storage, some will slate that but its just good business from apple and after all with 5GB you can backup everything thats crucial to you. Your music (i imagine the biggest drain on your phone storage) you probably have on your pc/mac anyway.

Mail - Much improved, it was about time that you could e-mail in html but again i must say the way they have the OS so you can edit, put in italics etc absolutely pisses all over my works blackberry.

Wifi Sync - Again helpful, no more need for the cable and seamlessly syncs when you arent using your pc

All in all i'm really impressed with the iOS update

p.s. i dont care what you think Beasty i love it :P <3

p.p.s. RIP Steve Jobs <3

Parent

Parent
Correct on both counts ;)

Parent
No! Although thanks for letting me know, downloading as we speak - too bad I can't jailbreak right away though.

e: why would you get 4S? :x it's no use when you already have 4, rather buy galaxy S2 or smth then..
nice evaluation
It's nice. Looking forward to getting my 4S and having a play around!

Set up my iCloud with my Mac. Gonna be great not having to sync my calendar and contacts all the time, and this way, at least I got a copy!! Got the email address that i wanted aswell! Already forwarding my GMail across :D
You having any issues with the email? I certainly am :(
Parent
Seems to be receiving all my Gmail stuff fine, I got a couple of "could not send" notices, but that was down to Apple's servers. It's been fine today. I am getting duplicates on my Mac Mail application.

When I get my 4S tomorrow, I'll see if it's working better!
Parent
yea mine is fine today too, yesterday i got a lot of errors....but all is well now
Parent
Downloaded it for iTunes already but haven't upgraded.

Also, thinking about getting an iPhone but not sure whether to get the 4S or just the 4.
The 4S is a far better phone, if you have the money for it I strongly recommend getting a 4S ( partially because of the improvement antenna's ). The floating point module is so much better in the A5 than in the A4 chip and the dual core chip will allow you to render websites much more quickly.

edit: GCD has been around since iOS 4 and is used heavily by a lot of apps, therefore a lot of apps are already "multi-core-ready" without the need of a rewrite or patch.

i think i gonna buy iPhone cause steve jobs died

HE CHANGED THE WORLD PEOPLE!!
beasty doesn't even know what RPG is, so irealised he is just talking crap all the time
been running the beta ( dev license ) since the WWDC, still a few bugs remain in iOS5 but overall its a very good update.

It even runs on the 3GS, which is awesome for developers like me. This way I know I can reach a lot of users while using the latest and greatest API's

Running GM at the moment.
I updated my phone and it works fine I got reminders etc just not Siri
