    If anyone here is hesitating putting 4.0 on there 3G, dont! It runs super fast and everything is running like butter.

    Apps open 10x faster than they did on 3.1.3. The new dock mirrors all icons you place there which is pretty cool. No problems with WiFi, email or voicemail!

    All 3.0 apps running smooth on 4.0 as well. No crashes to report!

    That sounds really promising, but I'm still hesitant to put a beta OS on anything a device that I'm using for things other than development.

    Are you running it on your main device?

    Yes, installed on my main phone! I did the same with beta 1 of 3.0-gold

    3.0 had tons of bugs but this 4.0 is simply amazing!

    The texting is the only thing buggy that I've noticed. Screen scrolls up and down crazily when you send/receive a message.

    And some other things.

    having only played words with friends, sending text's and using email my free memory was at 3MB! lol

    the app Memory Info doesn't seem to be killing processes in 4.0 No memory has been free'd.

    Good thing it only takes 35 seconds to reboot the 3G now. Much faster than before.

    So just got back from the land of 4.0. M
    Here are my impressions.

    The good:
    1- Everything seemed blazing fast. apps opened quicker and just general tasks seemed fast.
    2-Multi tasking
    3-folders
    4-dock reflects apps.


    the bad-
    1wifi was not working
    2-gmail account was always reading no password.
    3-was not syncing to itunes.
    4- camaera frooze a few times
    5- no additional wallpapers. but the backround on home screen was different.
    6- last but not least the multitasking was not working on my apps. I know the devs need to impliment this but it just didn't feel like true multitasking. It is more just a short cut.

    So to say the least I was dissappointed. I was so siked to be able to play sf4 with music playingin the backround. So now the question is how the hell do I downgrade. After a 4 hour fight I figured it out. And it was because of a program I am totally against that made this possible. I'm not going to get into it but blackrain totally saved me and my phone is not even jailbroken. If any body is stuck on 4.0 and wants to get off it like I did please pm me and I will be happy to help you out. I don't want anybody going through what I just had to.

    I must add I was on the first beta version. So taking that into consideration it worked well. I recom just waiting but if u need to see for yourself there is a way to go back.

    sorry to hear your having all those issues. did you install 4.0 as new?

    many people are reporting problems when restoring from backup on beta 1.
