I'd like to know how people are getting on with Iphone OS 3 (beta).

SEE BELOW FOR BETA 3 UPDATE

I've found:

-Curser does not appear when typing in forms inside Safari

-It's annoying how you have to press on the text box to start the keyboard within a txt message

-OFTEN the touch screen becomes unresponsive to all touch! - Have to turn off / on or reboot phone - This is REALLY annoying.

-Got MMS working, but PXT / MSS picture quality is SHOCKING!

-Internet and Email appears to load a lot faster over-all

-Push service seems to work quite well

-Landscape keyboard view leaves too little of the page or email on the screen

-No option to turn off auto-rotation in txts

-Txt conversations don't fill the whole screen (left to right) what a waste of space

-3g speeds seem somewhat improved

-My Iphone finally works properly with WPA Enterpise / MSCHAP login at work!

-Spotlight is quite slow

-Battery life is all over the place, some times it seems much better sometimes much, much worse (probably due to processes no killing or memory leaks?)

-Supprised that there are no beta apps available in the app store

-Flash player in Safari appears 'dodgy' and does not work on all sites

-Cut / Copy / Paste is a cool idea, but you often activate it my mistake and it is quite laggy

-Ambient light sensor works even worse than usual (i.e. not-at-all)

-31/3/09 - Today I found that I any txt I would send would fail, even after rebooting my phone, fix was to enable aeroplane mode and disable again.

I'll update this as I find things.

-General Speed Up

-Sometimes phone will lock itself while you're typing (as if it doesn't realise you're actually using it)

-Push notifications are now broken

-Safari Curser Fixed!

-Spotlight seems faster, but maybe not?

-Cut Copy Paste is far less laggy

-Ambient light sensor still doesn't work

-Just noticed text box doesn't expand when writing a multi-line txt message (purely cosmetic)

-MMS / PXT Quality is still unusable

iPhone OS is the operating system running on the iPhone (both original and 3G models) and the iPod Touch. It is based on a variant of the same basic Mach kernel that is found in Mac OS X. iPhone OS includes the software component “Core Animation” from Mac OS X v10.5 which, together with the PowerVR MBX 3D hardware, is responsible for the interface’s smooth animations. The operating system takes up less than half a GB of the device’s total 8 GB or 16 GB storage.[58] It is capable of supporting bundled and future applications from Apple, as well as from third-party developers. Software applications cannot be copied from Mac OS X but must be written and compiled specifically for the iPhone.

Like the iPod, the iPhone is managed with iTunes version 7.3 or later, which is compatible with Mac OS X version 10.4.10 or later, and 32-bit or 64-bit Windows XP or Vista.[59] The release of iTunes 7.6 expanded this support to include 64-bit versions of XP and Vista,[60] and a workaround has been discovered for previous 64-bit Windows operating systems.[61] Apple provides free updates to the iPhone’s operating system through iTunes, in a similar fashion to the way that iPods are updated.[58] Security patches, as well as new and improved features, are released in this fashion.[62] For example, iPhone 3G users initially experienced dropped calls until an update was issued.
