Upgraded my iPhone to 2.0, installing a bunch of apps now. Moving them onto the iPhone using iTunes seems to take a long time.

My iPhone is performing very poorly with 2.0 and lots of apps installed. I’m having to hard reboot regularly. Going to uninstall most.

Fri Jul 11 09:52:17 +0000 2008


Also, every time I sync the “backing up my iPhone” phase seems to take forever. Over 1-1/2 hours the first time. Its backing up again now.

Fri Jul 11 09:54:10 +0000 2008


Since I’ve got 2.0 running on my old phone, and I’m reading about so many problems with activating new, maybe I should wait?

Yes, I did the red:green projects. Works well. Haven’t put it in the store as I don’t want it as my “first” AppStore app.
