The one area in which I notice a problem with my iPod Touch 2G (sort of equivalent to the 3G iPhone in hardware specs) is that the on-screen keyboard stutters a bit when it first comes up. No taps are lost, so if you're confident you're OK. I agree, this is nowhere near "unusable". -- Chris

Which, from Apple, is pretty bad. I have an iTouch, not sure what the model number is, but it really doesn't seem that it's worth the risk. -- Peter

Yours is older than mine (IIRC), and I think I got one of the early second gen models. If yours is first gen, it is incompatible with iOS 4 altogether. -- Chris
