For me, the most appealing feature announced this week is probably the fingerprint unlock, if it works nicely. The most disappointing, the lack of anonymous call blocking. (Perhaps because the network is apparently required by law to offer that as a no-cost option in the US anyway, so they don't see as much need for it.) When I heard it featured a call blacklist, I was quite hopeful, but no: apparently it can only block known numbers, for now at least. (One of this morning's two telemarketing calls was "withheld", the other was "unavailable", so that would only have blocked one. Still, better than nothing!)

Four years seems a bit long to me - longer than the useful lifespan of lithium ion batteries, unless kept at low temperatures. My old 3GS struggles to get through a day of standby these days, even without being used; my original MacBook Pro reached a battery life of just 2-3 minutes of use from a full charge.
