I went ahead and installed iPhone 3.0 on my phone despite of all the warnings I read about the instability of the beta software. I did want to play with some of the new maps APIs so I figured it was justified for development reasons, and it couldn’t be SO bad, even on my one and only phone.
So after running it for a few days, its really not as bad as all the blogs make it out to be. I’ve had it hang up maybe once or twice, but holding down the home button got things back on track. Copy and paste is pretty cool, although I haven’t had the actual need to use it other then screwing around the last few days. The MMS doesn’t work, but that’s AT&T’s fault. Not ready yet for prime time, but its not some deal where its constantly locking up and not usable. Quite the opposite in terms of dropped calls actually. Haven’t had one since!
I’m going to play with the tethering over the weekend, supposedly some others got it working and play with some of the APIs to see what all cool things I can do.
