A near final build of iOS 5 with Nuance Dictation speech-to-text and FaceTime over 3G is being tested by carriers, reports 9to5Mac.
Apple's most prominent carrier partners have been seeded near-final builds of iOS 5 for final testing. This build is newer than the betas seeded to developers and includes some unique features. According to a source testing this build, FaceTime over 3G is active. According to this source, testers are being instructed that 3G FaceTime testing is a high priority. What is still up for discussion, though, is whether or not this feature will reach end users in iOS 5.
Notably the rumored iOS 5 personal assistant feature is missing from the builds seeded to carriers. Either Apple has delayed its launch or perhaps its keeping the feature as a top secret, iPhone 5 only exclusive.
The site also reports that Apple's career partners are also beginning iCloud and iOS 5 training. Recently, Apple employees began this training as well.
