Wondered what you were doing while the ice thrower was trying to start a fight with us. Makes sense.

Mine are back on my phone.  I don't think they were there until I synced the phone up with Outlook after the update though.

Interesting my 4G shipped direct from China. Looking forward to tomorrow.

I put iOS 5 on my 3GS last night. It did a complete restore process. At the end, my music, contacts, photos, bookmarks were all restored to it automatically, but none of my apps were, so I had to sync them through iTunes. (It warns you about that before the update, BTW.)

iOS 5 seems to run more smoothly on the 3GS. Lots of nice little updates that, frankly, should have been there before. Things like volume up for the camera shutter, wireless sync, and a reminders app. The new notification center is nice.

Looking forward to trying Siri on the new phone.

There's a Watch ESPN app for Android. I assume there's one for apple.

Everyone can get the app, but only a few with select cable providers can watch it. I really don't understand why you can watch espn3 online with Cox Cable, but you can't watch via the Watch ESPN App on iPad, iPhone, or Android.

I exchanged emails with a bunch of espn3/ipod types last week.  They kept telling me it was all about cable/tv providers when it comes to mobile, but I absolutely can watch espn3 on my droid phone just using the browser, no app.  Not sure if I was logged in through espn or my cox account, but it works on droid and not ipad.  :dunno:

Guys, it asks you which tv provider you have. Lie for fucks sake. Time Warner Cable, Bright House Networks, or Verizon FiOS TV.

You then have to log in with your password from one of those providers.

I didn't have to when I signed up with Verizon, I think. Haven't used it in a month or so. Did they change it?

It looks like if you give them an email address, you can get temp access for a few hours.

Siri, while still with some rough spots, is a nice feature. 4S is a very good phone and so far I have no regrets in the switch from Android. Might have been nice if there was a redesign with a bigger screen, but not a huge deal. Not having 4G really isn't a big deal as of yet, and goEMAW is much faster to navigate as compared to my old Incredible.

Built in Wolfram|Alpha is a nice touch
