I bought mine a while back and haven't grabbed the iPhone 4 yet. However, I did upgrade the OS to 4.0. I've noticed some serious slow downs when opening apps and such. Anyone else experiencing this?
hmm...I notice a problem, for example, when initially opening my messages and quite often when using Safari. I tried using Opera, too, but that also was quite slow. I also have a problem with the camera... :/Yup, still on 3GS. Occasionally I get a slowdown, but most of it is snappier. The camera in particular is a LOT faster.
What version of the OS are you running on it?I use iPhone 3GS. In fact just got it a few weeks ago. LOVE it.
The one that it came with? I have no idea!
I started with the 3GS, so was no skin off my back, thereShoot, i am still on the 3G. Did not want to upgrade because i knew the 4 was coming out soon.
Likewise, although, I'm eligible through AT&T to get it for $18 (with an additional 2-year contract, of course)And now i will wait for the 2nd gen iPhone 4 before i upgrade because of all the issues with the first one.
Yeah, I regret doing that, too...and I should have known better.I did upgrade to the new OS4, and boy do i ever regret doing that. It is super slow. So now i am on the hunt to downgrade it to a lower version.
I'll have to look into doing that.If your apps come up slow, then look for a way to take it back to the previous software version. OS4 makes it dreadfully slow.

I still use the iPhone 3Gs, with iOS4 and it's faster than with iPhoneOS3
When your iPhone3Gs is slow, with iOS4, just try a reboot of the iPhone, it could be, that an Application still running in the background, even though you've closed it.
I did find some downgrade instructions....I'll see if I notice a difference when I reboot it as Steffi suggested.Yeah, you can downgrade. The only drawback is i think you loose everything. There is an app called eDrive Lite. It backs up all your contacts online. It is FREE, so get it, sign up, backup all your contacts before you restore to a previous version. Yep, i am eligible for the upgrade as well, but staying away from doing that now.
3G was my first iPhone, and i love it. I run my entire business off it now. I have tried others, and i can't stand them. This by far beats them out on everything.
Let me see if i can locate the 3.17 OS and instructions on how to downgrade it from OS4. I need to do this badly.
What kind of data plan is offered with that?I dropped my iphone for EVO.
I love how it's tightly integrated with all Google services.
Yes, I do love the bigger screen.
The latest update now allows me to run my phone all day without a charge.

I never had an iPhone, the generation 4 one will be my first.
