Seriously, I have so many problems with the 3G iPhone running 2.0.2 that it is becoming unusable as a phone, emailer or web surfing device. I already gave up on apps.

Also O2's 3G coverage sucks even in London. Outside the M25 you're back down to GPRS! Maybe it's not O2 though maybe it's the iPhone. There have been reports of back to back tests with different manufacturers phones in the same location where other phones are working fine but the iPhone gives zilch.

My 2G iPhone which was jailbroken to run on Orange was so much more reliable. I would run it for a week without ever switching it off. No crash's, no unexplained slow downs, no dead and lost email. Yeah and I also was running a bunch of useful free apps including MMS, video, voice navigation, painting + drawing, games, etc,

Apple, are you listening?

Don't give up the incredible lead you have gained and the passion from your loyal customers by putting out this crud.

Let's hope you don't have to do a device recall but I guarantee if I don't get a properly functioning iPhone by the end of this month I'll be a switcher.

Sorry, but I have a life and it isn't based around debugging an iPhone

Apple support says there is no way to go back to 1.1.4. There has to be! Somebody please figure it out!

To add insult to injury, Support told me today I will need to pay for support soon, I've had my iPhone too long I guess. Sounds a lot like Microsoft support...

My fear at this point, Apple, like Microsoft will find a way to make the situation even worse.

Regarding MrWillieMatt, I agree Apples reputation is being destroyed by these problems and lack of knowledgeable / helpful support. As for the comment of taking his business away from Apple, why would Apple care if both MrWillieMatt and I were to not buy Apples products.

So who is collecting names for the Class Action?

I have wiped and restored this thing about 5 times I have tried retoring as a new Iphone. I have never unlocked or jail broken this phone. It was so stable with 1.1.4 but even 2.0.1 is buggy as hell on the 2G IPhone.

Unlike an IPod I need my phone Apple has really hurt their reputation with this one.

P.S. Apple if you you cannot make my six month old 2G Iphone work I am not upgrade to a 3G Iphone you will lose my business. I also don't think the 2 year contract with AT&T for IPhone sevice is void after Apple renders the phone unusable. Class Action? ....

Some friends are showing connected to wi fi at full power, but nothing works until they change to this IP address...has worded for over a 100 users....

use this DNS 208.67.222.222

Good Luck

I reset my email accounts for the third time. The problem is the outgoing smtp's they work, and than eventually get purged from tunes somehow. Of course gmail works, but I hate web based e-mail....

Some people cannong get their email to even work on wi fi This will fix your problem

use this DNS 208.67.222.222

This has fixed a lot of problems for people who had a full wi-fi signa but could not connect.

Good Luck Mark!

Absolutely crazy. I thought people bought Apple products for stability.

The fix better be quick as I need my phone to work and I am already pricing Blackberrys.

I LOVE the hardware, the apps are great, but the OS is a piece of poo! Hoping they can release 2.0.1 and fix some of the instability. The contacts lag a lot at times for me as well, other times it is fine. Plus twice now, the phone has gotten stuck in "no service" mode even though I am in a location with strong signal and I have to reboot to make it find the towers again. Frustrating when you don't notice it and you miss two calls.

Native Apps can fail to load occasionally and then a reboot is required to get them working again.

Also, a few of the apps out there are very buggy when accessing contacts.

In the last four or five days, I have only experienced one or two application crashes or phone reboots. (I think it was actually one of each, closely timed together, but there may have been a couple of extras.)

The reason for the change? The only thing I can think of was that my main computer had to be sent in for repairs, and a bit of resulting indecisiveness by yours truly forced a complete restore of the iPhone from scratch rather than from a backup. My suspicion is that some preference or other file remaining on my phone was being misread by the newer OS.

My advice to anybody upgrading is to start from a clean restore (no backup/upgrade), and to be vigilant about restarting the phone immediately if an application happens to crash.

Waiting for apps is bad, but seeing the phone/contacts lag is a big time frustration. Truth be told, I would hate to depend on the iPhone to call 911 in an emergency.

As to the # of contacts, I too have hundreds of them. But I have also created separate contact folders for them, and pre-2.0 it only sync'd with the folder I wanted. It now sync's with all the folders, and while there is a way to select separate groups on the 2.0, the main folder with the contacts I want in my phone shows ALL contacts and all groups, not just the main contact folder. My iphone calendar works fine though, allowing me to select which group I want or all groups.

The reason I discarded my Tilt was because of lag issues, so I am bummed to see Apple having it also. But as one reviewer said, at least we have the promise of updates. (and new bugs!)

my other complaints about 2.0 are similar to what others have said. the only reason im not super annoyed i own this phone is because i know apple will provide software updates. im sure its going to take a while but at least i know its coming...at least i know im not going to be stuck with buggy software for the next two years.

I have seen the lag issue and I will also SSH or Terminal into my phone to see if itunes is topping it out. You need to install top on a jailbroken phone to do this.

I have 150 contacts and I get the lag as well. While it is not so terrible that I dread using the phone it is still a pain.

That is one of the problems with synching with contacts in Google, Yahoo, etc.

Just because I have emailed you once in my lifetime doesn't mean I need your contact information in my phone. If you could flag contacts you want to synch that would be far more useful than synching the entire contact list in GMail, Yahoo, MobileMe, etc.

Overkill.

How bad was 1.0 before 1.1? 1.2?
