Now that that's sorted... What does everyone think of it?
Personally, there are alot of neat new features that I find useful in iOS 5. It almost makes my phone seem brand new again.
For one, iMessage, the free between iPhone texting, makes Blackberry's BBM a non-point for owning that phone. Another nail in the coffin for RIM, as BBM was one of the reasons people buy and continue to use a smart phone that really isn't very smart.
Two, the Reminders. This is a feature that has been long overdue. In the past I've had to rely on making a grocery list or to do list in Notes, which wasn't so bad, but now I can create a to do list with reminders to actually do the things I mean to do. Also, the ability to assign a location to a reminder is a cool feature. Now your phone can tell you to "Put on your hat!" as you pull into the parking lot at work instead of having someone else do it for you, or "Pick up milk" when you drive by the grocery store.
Three, Notification Center. The ability to glance at unread emails and texts and see the weather with a single swipe of the screen is a feature that some Android phones have had for a while and was long overdue on the iPhone.
Four, new Calendar features. Yesterday I scheduled a doctors appointment for my son, placed it in my Calendar, and invited my wife (also on iPhone) to attend. The invite pops up on her phone in Borden, she accepts and bam it's in her calendar. Couldn't do that before, had to use Bump or text it to her.
iCloud, still playing with it... not too sure about it. Do I need that? Am I going to use that? Time will tell.
