iOS 7 first impressions

What I like about it;
- Lock screen with access to camera, notifications and control centre is excellent
- New control centre, is fab way of accessing quickly some certain commands e.g. turning on/off wifi, airport mode, discrete mode
- Notifications is awesome, works much better, the notification alerts/bars look much better, and it's better integrated. Only downside is the post to twitter and Facebook share widget has gone, which is annoying.
- Calendar app is really good, as is the new camera app and photos app
- The email app is improved, looks good, and has now got some (limited) smart inboxes
- The look of the new iOS is fresh and new and the animations are cool
- The apps that have been re-engineered for iOS 7 look really good

What I don't like so much / or problems I've had;
- Siri's voice - Siri now sounds very strange
- Weather not appearing in notification centre - this was fixed by turning location services on, from within restrictions
- Post to twitter and FB has been removed
- Search from siri is unfortunately going to Bing rather than Google, and it doesn't appear to be fixable at the moment
- Loading/updating apps very confusing - initially the icons were very confusing, but I now understand how this works
- Where have events gone in photos - thought I like the way photos are grouped together
- All day events not appearing under notification centre - haven't been able to figure this out yet
