iPhone 3.0 OS is here...

It took me about 8 hours "check for updates" clicking and finally around 8pm on Wednesday it was available!

For the 230 MB download, the first 200MB were downloaded within a few seconds while the last 30 took about half an hour! (was one of the first downloaders?)

About 24 hours experience on iPhone 3.0 and i think that finally there is all the missing "phone" functionality.

Thumps up:

• I can write Greek!
• iPod shake! (shake to shuffle)
• "Search iPhone" or the iPhone spotlight. Everything is about a text box away from your screen.
• mms (never used it before but it was a pity that iPhone was unable to do something that 30 euro mobiles do)

Thumps down:

• Some apps 3rd party report "compatibility errors" (fortunately without any (visible) malfunction).
• Still no background applications (no skype on background)
• No email filters (should I consider procmail?)
