After waiting maybe 30 minutes or so, maybe longer, in the ATT store, I finally walked away with my new iPhone. I had the pleasure of getting my phone at the ATT store because I had recently changed my phone number. Doing that apparently reset the upgrade timings, which ATT had to override. Over the ATT employees blamed the slow servers, but I'm not sure that was the whole story... So I was cheated the retail experience that I deserved.
Once I got home, I simply restored my last backup from the old phone to the new phone. This took another half hour and then I let the phone charge for awhile.
The new 3Gs is definitely faster. I just ran a few side by side Safari comparisons with apple.com, nyt.com, and npr.com. While I didn't actually time it, it's probably fair to say the new model is twice as fast.
Probably my favorite new feature is the voice commands. It seems very accurate and has yet to error. The array of commands are quite broad really. I'm wouldn't be surprise to see voice commands to show up in OS X in a similar fashion.
The camera is much improved. Focus and exposure is controlled by touching the desired area of the frame. Very slick. The exposure range is significant in a contrasty frame. The focus has less of an impact. I've yet to play much with the video capture, but it appears quite easy to use.
