I love the fact that Apple chose to make the new text tones iPhone 4 only.

I was gonna say that they left this out, this is the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen.

And yes, the Voice Memos icon changed, and looks, meh. They could have at least fixed the Messages and Calendar icons.

Otherwise, a lot faster on my 3GS. (Y)

Is anyone else using Saurik's Caching server stuck on the "Verifying iPhone Update with Apple" stage?

I had the same error. I had to use TinyUmbrella to get pass this part.

I also can't believe I can't use AirPrint to print to a shared printer. Are they gonna add that later?

Is it worth updating an iPhone 3G to 4.2? Is it still painfully slow? It's got 3.1.3 on it, when 4.0 was first released I upgraded and it was so slow I had to downgrade again.

It's not too bad, much better then 4.0 though.

Ugh... No Find in page for iPhone 3G users, maybe our devices can't handle search? Maybe it'll make the phone explode into magical fairy dust - who knows.
