Sorry for the delay. I will provide a brief summary for now and will answer any subsequent questions later:

Likes:
- The new Siri is much better. I actually asked her (it) what the score was for the Yankees v Twins game and she told me. She also told me who the Eagles are playing next and when (I already knew because Rena won't shut up about it).
- "Do Not Distrub" feature - This is cool if you want your alarms to go off and wake you up, but you don't want e-mail chimes and notifications going off during certain hours. Very convenient for me when I sleep at my girlfriend's place. As I get updates on foreign markets and e-mails occasionally at odd hours.
- Answering the Phone has more options - If you are on the line or don't want to answer, you don't have to bump it voicemail, you can also send a text message as a response like "I'm getting a blowjob, will call you when done".
- Posting and sending of pictures - MUCH easier to do and read, they now show app icons instead of a menu list. Easier to navigate overall.
- Speed of the system - The phone was unaffected. Some people experienced slowness, but I have not and my phone is also on a company server. Still responds better than a fucking droid.
- App store - Somewhat different, but nothing pants-dropping.
- Privacy Option in Settings - I don't remember this being in the last version. This allows you to limit sharing with apps, such as Facebook.
- Youtube App being gone - Could give a shit - It sucked compared to the web version.
- Calendar - Does a much better job of integrating with Facebook, etc. for all of those birfdays you could care less about.

Things I am up in the air about:
- New Maps App - Not sure if it is better than Google, but haven't heard good things.
- Passbook - There aren't any companies that I use that are integrated with Passbook. I have yet to see the benefit from it.

That's it. For me, the upgrade was worth it. Take it for what you will. Be advised that I don't play a lot of music or videos on it, but when I do they seem to work fine.
