I've 6 pages worth of apps and games, not including the default ones on the first page. Lagging kept to a minimum, with my suspicion on the signal strength as the culprit rather than the amount of apps installed. SMS/texting on areas with good signal strength exhibits no lag, the same with responding to LYN posts on Mobile Safari in Wifi or strong 3G signal area.

The reboots I've done are only for major installations only, after that, I've only gone into recovery mode twice. I dont see the apps affecting each other ot the phone's performance, I see the signal strength being the culprit.

I dont have these slowdown issues on mine. Apple's way of dealing with their application involves compartmentalization, they run on its own, and when you press Home, you exit the apps entirely, leaving the system resource free for new apps to launch. They do not work like Winblows Blowbile, where they are still running in the background, and having the need of task managers to completely kill/quit them. Only mandatory apps like Call/SMS/Data-related apps are retained permanently in memory, others are immediately vacated to allow the system resources consumed by them before, be reused by the next going-to-be-launched app.

*takes a peek at his iTunes and his connected iPhone 3G*

7 GBs of Audio, 4GBs of Video, 1GB++ of synced photos, 1GB++ of "Others", probably system files and apps. Everything behaves well with each other, only the two occasions I've mentioned before.

I blame the current iTunes version on the recent recovery modes that I have to do, regarding installing updated versions of my apps. After installing, the iPhone immediately turns itself off, and restarts itself, stuck at the Apple logo.  Once iTunes 8.0 arrives this month, I hope this solves that problem.

Anyone knows where I can repair my iPhone in kl?

I dropped my phone from the stairs and now it shows a few colour lines on the screen.

I rebooted a few times but no changes.

Anyone can help? Thx.

Sting,
2.0.2 supposed to fix this bug (weak 3G reception), but somehow it is a mix results, some said improve, and some not. So just have to wait for the next firmware update within the next 2 weeks. Switch off the 3G for the moment.

Fuiyo,
Start looking for a 2nd hand iPhone2G or just upgrade to iPhone3G. Replacement or fixing the LCD screen is just too expensive and I dont think it is worth the hassle. Even after repairing the LCD screen, the phone might give you other problems since it has a really bad fall.

Milky,
You can actually buy outright from the 3 Telcos in Oz, but from what I know, currently there have stop selling, but forcing you to go for min 1 yr plan. But there is always an option to get from outside retailer, e.g. JB HIFI in Melbourne, they are selling it outright. AU729 and AU849 for 8GB and 16GB respectively, and unlock fee is between AU70 to AU150 depends which Telco the shop is affiliated to.

fuiyo! all my apps dont open! help!

I'm not sure how it is for everyone but.....

MobileMe (www.me.com), Apple Online Stores, ......even iTunes is down at the moment. Apple must be preparing something HUGE for it to come down this early. It is still only barely September 8th EST in the States.

I cannot wait!
