Anyone else excited for this to release next week?

i'm running the GM version and i must say it is simply amazing i cant wait for the full version to be released and be able to use the cloud completely and perfectly, but at the moment it is running quite neatly, i get all of my music pushed to all my devices and the documents is awesome for school in case you loose something or the print comes out wrong.

what are you thoughts fellow iphone users?

inb4 android is better

For everyone getting errors, restart your computer first, and then if it doesn't work after that just keep hitting Restore, and eventually when the server gets a little less busy it'll work. I clicked it repeatedly for probably 30 minutes and it finally worked. Though at one point I did think my phone had become a brick.

I think when I downloaded it, a lot of other people were doing the same thing, that's why it took so long for me.

how is it a wireless sync if your iphone needs to be plugged into a power source? that completely defeats the purpose...

Try it on a different computer if you have one. That's what I did and it worked fine. Got in in no time.

Nope.

But I'll see what I can do.
It seems like I'll have to make it so that computer is allowed to access my iTunes. Then I can download the update. Then I'd have to unallow it.


FUUUUUUUUUUUU

Got it this morning. The notification center is cool but my favorite feature is being able to make custom text vibrations for people. I'm gonna make different ones for my close friends so I know who texted without looking. Kinda cool

I didn't know that all my contacts would be lost as well...guess thats what happens during a restore.

Besides that, looks pretty good. Took 3 hours to DL but I'm liking it so far

there is a second hidden dock that you can have only what you like on. double click the home button twice but on the second click you have to hold it for a second or two. then the second dock with pop up. you can then delete certain apps from the second dock only leaving the important ones you wan to keep!

I had to try restoring my iPhone like 10 times before it finally finished properly. You just have to keep trying  with this sort of problem because so many people across the world are/were downloading the update and there is/was an overload of people attempting to contact the apple servers.

are you talking about the multitask bar? and for triple click stuff you go to settings,general,accessibility and at the bottom you control what triple clicking does.
