I have a very bad experience with Apps. The iPhone scrashed 3 time in the first 3 weeks. It is not the way for "high tech" product. The App Store swich to Hispanic Language everytime I connect to the PC for Sync and recharge. It is too bad for iPhone 3G.

My iPhone 3G 16GB White, locked up on me 6 hours ago. It rebooted on it's on and is STUCK at the apple logo screen. I can push + hold Power button and Home screen button to turn the phone off. But when I push the power button to turn it back on, it just sits there at the Apple logo screen. I'm just waiting to get out of work and connect it to my PC to see if that helps. This is my first foray into Apple products and not a very good experience. Booo Apple! Hurry up and fix this chit

My guess: Combination of rushed firmware + difficulty in testing App Store apps + App code problems.

Easy to see that storm in hindsight. Apple needs to figure out a way for devs to beta test and QA their stuff!

my phone crashes too randomly on many apps bringing me to the home screen or worse a full reboot.. this whole thing has been a joke.. add to that the fact there (last time i checked) is only one game available to buy here (Ireland) and that many of the apple applications feel much slower i am totally dissappointed..

Super Monkey Ball crashes on me too from time to time. I haven't noticed a definite pattern yet but it seems to be the first try of the day for the most part, after having it sit on the cradle all night charging. But whenever it does, it won't let me start the game until I've restarted my iPhone. Also, iTunes acts up when I use the remote app. It does what it's supposed to do and all, but if I have iTunes minimized to the little taskbar controller thing windows does it won't let me maximize it again. In fact, the taskbar controller seems to be disconnected from iTunes, the volume slider is all the way to the left and it has the "play" icon instead of the "pause" it should have when a song is playing. Nothing that can't be fixed I guess, small price to pay for a portable gaming machine that's like combining the PSP with the DS and controlling it with a wii remote...and waiting till about the 3rd generation of that. I mean seriously, super monkey ball shouldn't be this much fun. I can't put it down, I didn't get anything accomplished all weekend.

It's definitely not an app problem. The phone itself feels different. It is slower even for Apple native applications such as phone and even Safari. The keyboard often gets stuck or has a delay while writing messages with the mail application. It took a few restarts and syncs before the phone became decent enough to be used. I am upset. Oh, and by the way, the new battery sucks. Today I decided to turn off 3g andy de the phone as I used to before the switch to the new model. I have not used any games today. The battery still drained twice as fast. And as I type this message, the keyboard follows my gestures with a delay of about one second. Unacceptable!

I highly doubt that individual app bugs are all resulting in identical behavior (crash on launch). Crashes while using the app, sure, those are bugs.

my phone has crashed on nearly every single app. It always throws me to the apple screen which takes forever. My entire phone hangs with every app. I have the white 16gb. Maybe it's just me.

Super Monkey Ball crashed on launch (right after the Sega logo) for me nearly every time. I deleted it, did a reset, synced it back from iTunes, and its been okay ever since.

It's maybe a mix of some 2.0 bugs (every code has them!) and App bugs (ditto!)

I've had several crash. Some just bounce back to the home screen, while some actually reboot the device entirely. Mainly with Weather Bug, vSnax, and MLB At Bat.

My phone continually crashes with Super Monkey Ball and just recently Weather Bug. Hope they figure this out soon. It's a shame I can't use these apps.

gotta be honest with you guys... only had one crash with one app, Omni focus. everything else? Facebook, Myspace, AIM, Twitter, I can keep going... All working 100% fine not a single crash.

I don't think it's 2.0, i think it's some of the Apps. Think about it they were kinda rushed to get them finished, but that's ok though. The phone is out now, the hardware platform is in your hands. Just give them time to tweak some of the bugs, and things will be good to go. =)

I've had crashes in several programs. All have the same behavior, a simple drop to the home screen.

Also, when running some programs the phone gets hot. P.Solitaire and Enigmo mostly but others also.
