Has anyone experienced a very slow, sluggish iPhone after doing the new 4.0 update?

I just did the new update for my iPhone a couple days ago. It is so slow now! It types slow, it’s very unresponsive, and for some reason I can’t use the Internet anymore if I’m on a phone call. Just to unlock my phone, it takes much longer than it ever used to and everything is very choppy. I’m so unhappy with my phone now. I hate the update and I want to go back to the way it was. Is it possible to restore the phone? Or downgrade? Any advice is appreciated!

My friend with a 3G claims that iOS4 slowed his phone to a crawl. I have the 3Gs, and haven’t seen any similar problems.

@MrItty My fiancé has the iPhone 3GS also and he’s had no issues. But my phone has definitely slowed down. Just typing this response right now is frustrating me to the point that I want to throw my phone out the window!

So should I not update my 3G?

I updated my 3G iPhone to the 4.0 software and have noticed similar things. Very annoying.

I believe there is a way ro downgrade. Let me look it up.

@tinyfaery No! It offers nearly nothing new for 3G users. All it did was make my phone unbearably slow and after doing some research online, it seems this is a big problem for many 3G users. I’m disappointed in apple. Check out this website…
