yea it's on the list. but the only thing i don't like about this is that previously when you held down on a link a little bubble came up showing the link title. this was good when you weren't zoomed in and and you wanted to make sure you were click the right thing.
first drop a pin in maps. you'll see a new orange icon. if it's grayed out (like the first image) then street view isn't available for that area. if it isn't grayed out (like the second image) then tap that icon and you'll be taken to street view
yep that's what I meant, I was asking if there was a way to make it so that airplane mode only kicks you off the carrier and leaves the wifi on
ah ok, at least I won't have to find that next week when I get 3.0 \o/
I use 2.2.1 and have tested this in French, Japanese and (Traditional) Chinese. They all auto-correct to aid text input, just as English does.
It is not a new feature in this regard and should not be included in the list.
THAT IS, unless khong1010 meant that Korean itself now has auto-correct; I tried using the Korean keyboard but have NO idea as to how it works, so I can't verify if it does or doesn't work in 2.2.1.
E.g.:
Oh by the way, this is my first post here.
I love reading some of these threads.
I might as well get to working on my signature and profile pic... ha.
not sure.
guess you have to do it manually now??also another thing i have noticed, its not really a feature but when you enter passwords letters seem to remain visible for longer before they turn into dots. could just be me though

thanks for testing that out. i removed it from the list.
in 3.0 you can now type all of the emoji icons in landscape. previously, the landscape keyboard would cut off some of the emoji icons but now it shows them all. that was really annoying in 2.x.x
EDIT: sorry for the double post, i didn't realize it at first

I don't know if this is addressed already, but the force-quit information in the OP is wrong. Now, instead of holding down the home button, you hold down the sleep/wake button until a red bar appears on top of the screen, and then hold down the home button to force quit the application. They just changed it becuase of the new voice control.
Danke!
And thanks too for this thread. It's getting me even more excited for Wednesday!
From my tests, this is not true.
I only have one account tied to my two iPhones - same account on my original iPhone, same account on my iPhone 3G. Apps I downloaded with my original iPhone can be redownloaded for free on my original iPhone but I must download and sync with an authorized PC when using my 3G. The reverse applies to the 3G.
In other words, the applications you download are locked to the phone you used to download them. If you switch phones, swap phones at a Genius bar, or upgrade to a new model iPhone your apps will have to be downloaded and sync'd from a computer authorized to download that application.
This is also not true and has been covered above.
Hold down the sleep/wake key until the "slide to power off" screen appears, release. Next, hold the home button until you are kicked back to the home screen. The application has been force quit.
This way works even better. When the new menu pops up asking if you want to Open, Open in a New Window, Copy or Cancel it shows you the actual address of the link. So you still get the info you did before but the added option of opening it in a new window or copying it.
am i missing something with the double click home button? in settings i set it so it goes to search but i also set iPod Controls on but it brings up the iPod controls even when a song is not playing. i even force quit the music app to be sure it was stopped and it still brought up the iPod controls. the only time that it will actually go to search is when the iPod Controls can't come up (i.e. the now playing screen). this is really stupid and it shouldn't bring up the iPod controls if no music is playing.
thank you. i was wondering why the took that out at first but i guess they didn't. i corrected it i the list and gave you the credit.

This isn't going to be a major issue for me and I'm sure I'll get used to it, but I'm not a big fan of this change, the dots make it stick out more, I was fine with the letters, but at least this is a minor thing.noticed when i was making a genius playlist via iphone it has little dots instead of letters for every second letter
not sure if this was there pre 3.0 or not but thought i'd post anyways.
I know this doesn't qualify as a feature, but it is *part of one of the new features and something that really doesn't sit well with me.
When sending an SMS, as soon as you hit "send" the message goes up into the conversation window even if the message fails to send in the long run. They added the little clickable red exclamation point to bring up the option to retry but my major bicker about this is the sound. The little "whoop" sound that plays, in the past, played when the message sent and went into the conversation window. Now it just seems out of place without the message moving with the sound...
Does this bother anybody else or am I being nitpicky?
