Don't upgrade your iPhone 3G to iOS 4

As I write this I'm upgrading my wife's iPhone 3G to iOS 4, so I'm probably going to end up sleeping in the shed tonight: upgrading my 3G rendered it unusable, and while a factory reset seems to have improved things it's still pretty slow. I want the new features, but it looks like I have to suffer a slower phone in order to have them.

I'm not the only one: when we asked iPhone owners for their update experiences yesterday, 3GS owners were generally happy and 3G owners were hurling themselves off buildings.

The comments aren't from Apple haters - "Apps take longer to open, but I do like the combined Mail box," Steveager writes - but there are plenty of people growing beards as they wait for apps to open.

"Wish I'd never upgraded," Dank says. "Definitely slower," says Robw. "Loading SMS messages and maps is a real pain."
