Well, it didn’t take much time or effort to switch to the new phone. Simply plugged it into the computer and iTunes gave me an option to restore from my previous back up1.
The phone looks exactly the same as the old one with the exception of lettering on the back being done in chrome instead of gray color. The screen is supposed to collect less finger prints and maybe it does, but it still does collect them.
The differences inside are more interesting. Obviously the biggest new feature is the compass. I have no idea how I lived before without it. It’s hard to imagine. But now those sorry days are far behind me. 
On a more serious note — I really like the photo camera improvement. The photos above where taken with the phone in the same position. The phone now auto-exposes depending on your selection of focus point, which is done by simply touching the screen. Video is a nice feature, but I don’t see myself using that much as I never did before on my other phones.
Speed increase is much more noticeable than I expected it to be. iLounge has a good video demonstrating it.
Now I just need to find a good case for this thing, so Shublik doesn’t “upgrade” it.

Just don’t leave it out in the open. Shublik will always find a way to “upgrade” it, even if it’s inside a bulletproof case.
