The new maps in iOS 6 is pretty bad (google maps are gone and were excellent), Apple needs to hit the bricks and get mapping, learning how to spell, and finding lost towns and streets, can't believe they of all companies would release with so many shortcomings.

YouTube app is gone too, replaced by an ad laden app from google, also sux.

Guessing this is all a disagreement over money between companies, which is nothing new these days in the tech gadget market, everyone is suing everyone.

Ya from what I read map app was replaced because Google wanted to do ads in the map app. So far the maps have been good for me, but I assume there will be issues to come.

Youtube has its own stand alone app now which seems good.

For me the main issue I seen was fit and finish, Shellys phone came in with 3 scratches on the (very minor at the very top out of the display area), and 3 nicks in the bezzle on the left side, and a mark on the rear. It's not a big deal but still you expect a perfect phone when you buy.

Wow.

I've heard nothing but bad stuff about the maps.

Just saw why they have shitty maps and scratches on their "new" phones.

They are busy redesigning the shape of ear buds (head phones).

The new "VIP" folder in the email client is quaint. NOW, why can't I turn it OFF.

Will be interested in what MS brings to market in a tablet. I am praying it will work smoothly like an IPad but will play well with regular Windows OS and networks.

Maps I am sure will improve, they are hiring all of Googles people lol.

But there is no excuse for the scratches. Ridiculous actually.

scratches would not matter to me, as I do a pretty good job of punting the thing around the shop on a regular basis anyway.. lol Still looking for a app that works regarding alerting me when my Vodka is at optimal temperature for maximum digitizing ability. ha.

When one buys a NEW product they should get a NEW product.

Would you buy a new car and be ok with a dent in the fender? F' that!
