You just rejected my facetime!

(well it says its not available for you - dont think it was something you had to switch on)
Edit! You have to switch it on under settings, and then phone.

I haven't used fb not on the app so I wouldnt know how it looks different.

Yes - you can connect to Facebook and play Blitz too.

FB app is good enough but a bit buggy (it gets all confused if you switch to landscape a lot - which I do).

I've recently grabbed iTuneIn Radio, which seems to cover most of the UK radio stations (if you listen to radio of course). Also recently been playing Cat Physics.

Lozza, the GPS in the 3GS is also pants, and I doubt the one in the iPhone4 is any better.

Some apps on the iPhone can use an external GPS - namely the TomTom car kit. I know CoPilot can and I think Navigon can, but don't know if any other apps can (besides TomTom itself, obviously!)

^^ The GPS in the iPhone 4 is an AMAZING improvement over the 3GS

So much so in fact that you no longer need the overpriced TomTom car kit to get a signal Used it on a 500 mile round trip around the lake district and back (friend was driving) and it fit snuggly onto the dashboard. Locked on within seconds and didn't loose signal once!

Well, that's good then! The 3GS gets confused by ordinary roundabouts - I dread to think what'd happen if you drove near a magic roundabout.

I've used the maps thing when I was on the bus the other day and didn't know where to get off, worked a treat.

Must say, I'm quite liking it - except for the GPS, which is pants (supposed to be improved with Android 2.2 (Froyo) due this month - allegedly).
