I used pwnage intially and after 2 days of using the phone I realised my battery was dying within a day and my network was not as stable as it used to be. Decided to give redsn0w a try and I’m currently restoring my phone settings after successfully unlocking. Will post an update as to the results in one or two days. So here’s the deal with 3.0 if you’ve noticed lower battery life and other problems. Turn off all push notifications, whether in your email settings or in the apps supporting push – all problems solved. As for impressions of 3.0 here are some things I noticed immediately.

1. SMS landscape isn’t that great, specially if you’re used to typing in portrait mode. You will still hit trees if you text while walking though, a bigger keypad doesnt help.
2. Copy Paste was a little cumbersome initially, but the ability to select and delete large amounts of text at a go is a great help.
3. “Lol” doesn’t get capitalized anymore!
4. The phone seems much faster than before. Apps load up quicker too.
5. When you go from an app to the home screen (by pressing the button), previously the screen simply vanished into the center. Now, opacity is also gradually reduced when the vanishing happens (yes, I notice such stuff!).
6. The bottom padding for the SMS input text box seems to have increased, and the text that is input is not in the center of the box anymore. Cursor has become blue as well!
7. Shake to shuffle music is good, but what good is it when the phone is in your pocket?
8. Camera loads up much quicker and shows a thumbnail of your last picture. Well, I’m still wondering why video was not included in the update?!
9. Same with the voice controls – it’s not a hardware deficiency!
10. Wifi seemed to remain connected for a longer period of time. Earlier if it wasn’t being used, it was turned off automatically – maybe that’s why my battery is lasting less longer as well.
11. App store still doesn’t cache results! When will apple fix this? It is extremely irritating when the list has to load every single time you see more details of an app.
12. I still haven’t got any push notifications! Push has only been enabled in Tap Tap Revenge. Yet to see more apps using it effectively.

More when I come across them, till then hit up comments to tell me what you noticed!
