Hi !From what I remember from having an Apple headset with remote, holding down the play/pause button would trigger Voice Control. That functionality isn't going to be stripped out, so when that voice assistant launches, you can use it for the very same.
Secondly, iOS 5 probably isn't going to run horribly fast on the 3GS, compared to the iPhone 4. For those running the 3GS, the 4S is definitely worth upgrading to because of the faster speed. If you already have the iPhone 4, while the 4S is supposedly twice as fast it'd probably still run fine, and if you don't need the camera or Siri then you might as well stick with what you have. Battery life hasn't been made worse because of the extra power, but reportedly better according to the event. More power doesn't necessarily equal sacrificing battery life whatsoever. While Apple can sometimes be a bit generous with their statistics, it's not entirely untrue that you can optimize battery life and pack more processing power into a device with reasonably good results if the chip itself is capable of reducing battery consumption. In any case, I'll be getting mine from Germany. Everything is hugely expensive here because of various tax rates as opposed to Germany, and Germany is getting it on the 14th. The huge benefit to the touchscreen devices is that, since the keyboard is intelligent, changing the keyboard layout gives you the keys that you need so you can potentially buy the phone from any country.
