iOS 5

i tried to update my iphone last night. apparently the rest of the planet tried to do the same thing and servers were not working. my update kept failing. i was annoyed but finally got my iOS 5 update this morning before work.

FAVE NEW FEATURES:

iMessaging - this allows you to send UNLIMITED texts to any other iphone, ipad, or ipod touch. this is amazing for a lot of reasons. first, it's FREE. dustin and i refuse to actually pay for text. i think it's the biggest waste of money and still can't believe people pay for it when you can get the same feature for free with AIM. yes you can IM your friends who also have AIM but you can also use it to send text messages (FOR FREE) to anyone you want. so why pay the $30 unlimited text fee? we never have. so this makes things a bit easier for sending things to dustin and my other iphoner friends. secondly, love the picture text. i am probably the only one who finds this cool because everyone who pays for text has had this feature for years. let me just enjoy this moment of not having to email every picture!

notifications - this update is so much better than the old one. it doesn't interrupt you and it shows up at the top of the screen.

reminders - i love any new app that helps me not only remember shit but helps me stay organized.

DISAPPOINTING FEATURES:

camera app - they now have the camera app button on the lock screen. but not really. you have to double click the home button just to see it. i wish it was on the lock screen at all times for quick access because isn't that the point? to be able to grab your phone fast and not have to go through a bunch of steps to get to the camera? this was quite the let down. (if there is a way to fix this in settings please let me know!)
