This latter can be seen most obviously where typing is involved: just yesterday it took me two attempts to dial a phone number because the first time it stuttered and I ended up dialing 020777777 or something. If you think about it, it's pretty poor that you can't even reliably dial a number on your phone... I have no idea how Apple thought this release was acceptable for use on an iPhone 3G. I don't know anyone with a 3G who hasn't seen a general degradation in performance. b. -- <bas(a)bas.me.uk> <URL:http://bas.me.uk/> `Zombies are defined by behavior and can be "explained" by many handy shortcuts: the supernatural, radiation, a virus, space visitors, secret weapons, a Harvard education and so on.' -- Roger Ebert

I agree and perhaps the word 'unusable' is wrong but when you get to the point of being so frustrated when using it now then its pretty close :-( I loved my iPhone but if I cant get it back to where it was I will have to look at the options. I really want to stay with iPhone but I don't know if I can afford the iPhone 4 option. My contract runs out with O2 on 3rd September so I'll see if I can get a deal out of them.

O2 will do deals, especially as your contract is up soon - speak to the retentions team, they'll want to keep your business. Also, have a look at O2 Recycle - you'll get good money for your 3G - possibly enough to make an upgrade to iPhone 4 cost neutral depending on what contract you go for. -- Danny T

Mine gets like this every few days, then I reboot it and typing goes back to normal; that's why I suspect a memory leak eating up RAM. The 3GS does have a faster processor (600 Mhz vs 412 MHz), but more importantly IMHO, it has twice the RAM. |
