iPhone 4S - First Impressions
My 64GB iPhone 4S arrived yesterday morning.
Transferring the O2 microSIM and the 28GB of information that had previously resided on my iPhone 4 proceeded without a hitch. I still get a kick out of how easily I can transfer so much data from one machine to another.
Can't comment on iCloud, because I haven't made the switch to Lion, but MobileMe is working fine for syncing my calendars, etc.
Operations are significantly quicker, registering more as 'smoothness' than 'speed'.
My first attempts at using Siri were promising, but a 'live demo' to some colleagues ended in a mixture of hilarity and profanity. However, I did create a couple of texts and reminders on my drive home that I would have otherwise not been able to.
The camera is significantly better than the (far from rubbish) one on the iPhone 4. Compact camera manufacturers must be wondering how long it is before sales hit terminal decline.
I think the speaker/amplifier may have been upgraded (or the one in my iPhone 4 was defective). The sounds seem louder, richer and clearer... my alarm this morning made me jump!
Otherwise, everything is comfortably familiar. No new case to purchase, the same tight build quality, the same beautiful screen.

One of the guys at work has a 4S and we had a similar experience with Siri... although the profanity was on purpose... he didn't seem to appreciate it ;)
