- When moving icons in the springboard, iPhone vibrates

This isn't true anymore as of the last beta, not sure why they took it out.

2.2????????

 

[Jellotime91]

and by 2.2, I meant 3.2... I was thinking about all the neat stuff that happened in 2.2, like walking and public transit directions in maps XD

- Better accuracy in indicating battery percentage and battery percentage toggle for all devices

Does that mean that the iPhone 3G will also get the battery percentage like the 3GS? If so, that is AWESOME! Cant wait for this!

"MMS now only allows a maximum of 5 photos sent at once"

Feature? That's more like a handicap!

5 is enough in one shot for me

I wish they would give us the ability to add a few voice messages to choose from that we can pre-record

I just want to say thank you for posting this.
I hadn't heard anything from the developers on what all/most of the changes were.

Can't wait for the update to release.

Sweet!!! Guys, I'm new to iPhone world after dumping an N97 in favor for the 3GS and this is what I call an update. After 5 years in the Nokia world, an update means fixes and addition of critical items that should have been there in the first place. This upcoming update from Apple includes fixes but the focus is more on elevating feature and accessibility of the device. Way to go!
