i really didnt notice the fact that after reading all the comments from everyone else that my son mentioned how his iphone all of a sudden got real real slow to the point of not wanting to use it.

what i do remember is that when i was reading about jailbreaking an iphone a customer asked if you dont like the result of the jailbreak you can reset your phone to factory default. so i started doing that before my sons phone started to go bad. I have since then been reading about this epidemic with many iphones and really feel that they are right in that all of a sudden many 3g iphones are slow. you may have to reset it, it might not get a lot better but a little is better than nothing

I think apple is making the iPhone 3G look slower with the new update that way customers would buy the new iPhone 3Gs wich is supposlly faster than it’s predessesor, what a great idea huh? Doing this apple will sell more iPhones 3Gs!! Wich it means more money for them, they sure know how to do bussines

I have the 32GB 3GS and I’ve been having very similar problems creep in over the last week or so. I’ve noticed it while texting or typing in facebook…that may be just because that it what I do the most. It’s really starting to annoy me.

Yea all of those problems have been happening to me too! I reboot my phone like twice a week in an attempt to keep it running fresh but problems like slow txting still occasionally occur. My iPhone 3g froze so bad that I had to wait until
the battery went flat before i could reboot itwhich was a bit concerning! I have the latest software installed an have reduxedthe number of apps down to like 20. Anyway I hope Apple fix it and it isn’t some ploy to get existing users to buy the new model cos that would really suck!

My iphone 3g didn’t start the lag until the 3GS was released. The problem is obviously Apple programming the 3G to be slower now that the “faster” 3GS is out. It’s no coincidence that I had no lag for 6 months until the 3GS was released. And if anyone doubts that Apple would do something like this, you are naive.

Agreed Eli, I have a 16GB iPhone 3G and it has been running fine, and then recently it locks up, quits responding, and is running a lot slower. I was starting to get fed up with my phone when I heard that the 3G “S” was coming out…

I just think that it’s ironic that for six months my 3G iphone worked without a hitch. Three weeks ago my phone starts running all slow, freezing and locking up and then TTTAAAA DDAAAHHHH, a new 3G “S” a faster iphone comes out. Call me a conspiracy theorist but come on!
