Just to say, iOS 5 is awesome! Feels a lot faster too, and nice subtle touches like the 'On/Off' switches are now circular rather than rectangular.  :grin:

I blame Apple if this doesn't work out.

i've installed ios5 on my 3gs and it's responsiveness (sp?) has gone back to the way it was before. On 4.3.5 the  phone was sluggish and unresponsive however it's back to the way it was when I bought it.

I like the access of the camera from the lock screen. Double tap the home button to bring up the Camera icon and also you can the the Up volume button to take pictures.

I like the find my phone feature. This was not freely available to 3GS users until now.

imessages might be useful for MMS messages and sharing of photos. From what I can gather alot of the mobile phone companies are now charging for MMS messages and not taking it out of the monthly allocation of text messages that is part of a contract.

I'm underwhelmed by the other features thus far. Notifications will probably be useful over time. Not that fussed about icloud as I don't think 5Gb is large

ios5 works well so far on my 3gs. Just took ages to update.

While Apple’s new iOS 5 Newsstand is technically a Folder, and hence can’t be put into another Folder, The Coding Massacre has discovered a glitch in the Matrix that can let Newsstand haters banish it into another Folder… at least temporarily.
Basically, you create a new Folder and in the first few seconds, while iOS is getting its act together, you jam Newsstand in there before it can stop you. However, if you launch Newsstand, it will come screaming back out at you.
So file this under temporary work around if you hate the look of Newsstand so much, even a short break is better than none
