    When a new notification comes in it shows just that one with an option to pull down previous ones. Or if you have multiple notifications waiting it will show them all in a list, but they aren't grouped like in the notification center.

    to those with the iPhone 4 who have downloaded iOS 5- does it slow down the phone? I'm afraid of facing the same problem that old iPhone owners had when iOS4 came out

    i also read, once you get a notification while the phone is locked, you can just let the screen go black again, and when you hit the home button to unlock it will have it listed as a banner. multiple messages, will also be like that. i think for people such as myself, just caught off guard a bit. i've never seen those individual notifications on the lock screens in any of the iOS 5 beta demo videos. think people expected all messages to just appear as banners underneath the time/weather on the lock screen

    Did it take you guys forever to download the new OS? I am not sure if it is the crappy hotel internet or apple's servers being bombarded but Itunes is currently estimating 23 hours for me to complete my download :eek:

    took me almost 2 hours to completely download everything and get it set up on my phone. It reset the whole phone to standard settings then downloaded the iOS5. I thought I lost all my data but it was backed up so it was all good.

    I have a 3GS btw and its running smooth.

    What a bunch of Apple r****ds. They took out the multi touch for the first generation iPad on the iOS 5. What a bunch of ****ing r****ds.

    That sounds like a bug.

    iOS5 on 3GS runs really smooth. Far cry from what 3G owners faced last year updating to iOS4.

    Don't know if ya'll have noticed but when you get a bunch of text stacked up on the home screen, you can select one and slide it like you would to unlock your phone and it'll take you to that convo. I assume it works the same with any type of notification.

    Running fine on the 4 here. I have read that, like the other guys here, it is also smooth on the 3GS.

    I've been using ESPN scorecenter, though I hear Yahoo's Sportacular (or something like that) gets pretty good reviews.

    Can you just download the IPSW and restore to it? I did it on someones iPhone with an activated UDID that was running beta 7 and it upgraded fine that way, I'm assuming it will work fine on a device with an inactivated one as it is an official build. Might be faster than relying on Apple servers currently lol.

    pick iPhone 4 GSM or CDMA version...then open up itunes. sync your phone to back up everything.

    then hold down shift, and hit restore. it will ask you to select the file. pick the above downloaded file. and voila. update to iOS 5.

    it took me 10 mins to dl the file and about 10-15mins max to update the phone. running smoothly.
