iPhone OS 3: A big day for iPhone users

This is definitely a big day for iPhone users like me: The release of iPhone OS 3!

My habit of upgrading to something new would be to first wait to read some user reviews on the net and see if it is bug-free. But as an iPhone user, who could not be tempted by features like cut, copy and paste, MMS, Spotlight search...

Well, upgraded and so far so good! Thanks to Apple. The cut, copy and paste function is superbly implemented, really easy to use. The Find-my-phone feature works great! If I lost my phone somewhere, I can login to MobileMe with any computer and send a message to pop-up on my iPhone screen -- complete with an alert sound even when my phone is in silent model! If I were a spy and wanted no one to peek into my national secrets in my phone, I could wipe away all my data on the phone by restoring it to factory settings, all remotely done!

Well, there's always pros and cons. What doesn't live up to my expectations are: (1) only 2 more pages are added -- still not enough for me! (2) still no sync for to-do list in iCal; (3) now my iPhone feels a bit slow with the new OS.

Well, anyway, I still love my iPhone.
