I’ve been pleasantly surprised by how stable 2.0 has been. I expected much worse.

Sure, third-party apps crash on occasion, but no more than Safari crashed on me before 2.0. The AP news app tends to corrupt itself to the point that I have to delete it and reinstall it. Considering the limitations they had to work within, I think the third-party apps are pretty solid for first releases.

The OS has actually been a little more stable, which is amazing considering that third-party apps have been added into the equation.

While the slow downs are more frequent than before 2.0, they’re much shorter and the system recovers from them better.

Sync times…I don’t know. I’m usually not even in the room during a sync.

But maybe I’ve just been lucky. I haven’t had a “big crash” yet.

How soon can we expect 2.0.1? Well, just remember that if you want to see things get more stable, you want them to take their time.

My experience is even worse than your with my iPod Touch. I’ve been restoring it DAILY for the last 4 days, with TWO restores today!

Yesterday night it go stuck on the Apple logo screen and I left it connected to iTunes the WHOLE night… nothing happened… restored again…

I love Apple… but I am bored of these restores…

My only complain is pages reload more aggressively. It used to be that if a page appeared complete as I switched windows, it would just open. Now they always seem to reload (which is a pain over EDGE).

i’ve had to do 2 restore’s so far…one because I installed the wrong leaked software on Thursday and the other because the Apple Texas Holdem Program crashed me back to the never-ending apple logo…current install is doing decent on hard resets…still getting a lot of home screen resets though…and for some reason my ‘camera’ and my ‘photos’ apps won’t open…battery gets HOT playing Enigmo…but we have to remember the iphone was not meant to be a gaming device…i’m clicking ‘x’ everytime i sync so I don’t have to wait for the hour long backups…2.0 seems to me to be very unstable…i hope 2.0.1 is the answer!

I have found that the newest 2.0 update makes my old phone just a little slower to use. My biggest upset is that the photo app, which used to by almost long, is now forever to get ready. I turned off the gps geocash b.s. to make taking a photo faster and it still takes a while ( 10 seconds !!) lame lame lame. I loved using my phone for pics now it is a joke. Not to mention syncing to take way way too long. Plus make the phone able to delete all the photos at once!!! with out having to restore or corrupt the cameraroll file. Good thing i was so happy before…/ that i can play Aurora feint

The worst part about the new update is how slow the phone, and sms can be sometimes to respond. I can type a whole sentence sometimes in sms before the keyboard catches up to me. I hope 2.01 comes out soon and fixes these minor issues that can be so annoying.

I’ve had no crashes with my V1 phone on 2.0. It does seem a bit slower, especially the starting the camera app. Battery life is shorter for sure. I haven’t been using it more than usual and the battery charge is very low at the end of the day vs a good two days before. I think it’s the push email. I’ll try switching it off for a couple of days to see if that makes a difference. Yes, longer sync times too. But not an hour.

I woke up Friday morning with the goal of updating my 16 GB first gen iPhone to 2.0. The update was not there yet and I spent the whole day of the launch seeing how everybody was made miserable by rampant activation problems. Was pretty psyched that I missed out on all the problems. I went home for the day and finally got around to updating the iPhone around 8 PM. The update went smoothly on my Mac Mini… and I just let it do its thing… with no interruptions.

Have not had a single problem with my phone after the update. No rebooting, no hanging, nothing. I have a bunch of apps installed (including Ms. Pac Man… Hey, Remember the 80′s?) The only thing I noticed is that I had a bunch of visual voice mails that I never got notified of… flooding down to the phone. (Something similar happed to my friend who has a 16 GB Touch… About 150 e-mail messages he never got came flooding down after he updated to 2.0. Am happy that this flakey issue is resolved with 2.0)

Hope I have not jinxed myself by saying all is well. LOL.
