Iphone OS 3.0 issues

I wanted to update my 2g iphone from OS 2.2.1 to OS 3.0. I am a little bit apprehensive about upgrading because of the fears that it might have drawbacks or other problems. When I searched the net, I am a bit relieved because I did not find too many complaints. For the time being, I will wait and watch. The most common problem reported is the poor battery performance. See the following snippet from an article in pcmag summarizing the problems.

We received a number of reports from users point to issues with their phones' battery life, slowed speeds, and crashing or a generally inability to run certain apps. A reader named Gary reported that, "[i]t drains my battery in a few hours even if I am not using it." Tom had slightly better luck, writing, "my battery also drains in one day. It used to last three days."

A number of speed issues were reported amongst users, many of whom have considered reverting the software back to its 2.2 iteration. Meanwhile, reader Dave tells us, "most of my iphone apps stopped working after downloading the new 3.0 software on my iPhone 3G." Jason added, "Also Facebook always locks up and won't allow me to move to the desired tab."
