    Indeed, I have never in my life owned a device which has needed more OS reinstalls than my iPhone. I had my last laptop for about five years, and only had to reinstall the XP once.



    In 7 months, I've had to format the drive on the iPhone 3 times.



    You do understand that whatever the circumstances, this is absolutely unnecessary ―except if you jailbreak and brick your iphone often.



    Or do you, everytime an app crashes on you, re-install the OS?



    Whatever man. I never re-installed the OS on my iPhone (3G, bought 1 1/2 year ago) and have no problems whatsoever.



    Yours sounds like voodoo problem-solving to me.

    It's just the itch to buy new stuff.

    You mean like the, em, 20.000 units of the new Google phone sold?



    Those people "buying other phones" must be few and far between --the haven't even made a dent on iPhone market share.

    Update, 12:25 p.m.: According to the developer, this press release was meant to refer to a 4.0 version of the app itself, not OS 4.0. Even so, I think it's very likely the Apple tablet will arrive with an updated iPhone OS. We'll find out in a few weeks. In the meantime, keep the OS 4.0 wish list discussion going!

    It doesn't have to be reset that often.



    I do so as a developer because I am installing, removing, reinstalling and testing apps constantly.



    In addition, I change my music and more often iPod videos from iTunes U to peruse while I am traveling between assignments and client services. I have found that freshening my iPhone has virtually eliminated any unforeseen hiccups. It works like new. I may overdo it, but it makes me comfortable.



    First thing I suggest to everybody that has issues with the iPhone, do a soft reset. Then a hard reset if necessary. It is unbelievable what some try to put on their iPhones/iPod touches. Invariably much of the problems are solved with just a soft reset.



    It is also unbelievable that most don't even know what a soft or hard reset is, how much is involved and how quickly it can be done.

    I'm sick of waiting for an update to the current buggy mess that is the iPhone OS.



    Much as I enjoy my iPhone regularly reporting I have 'no content', the iPod app crashing daily, the phone slowing down to snail's pace after a few days without a reboot, and the podcast list scrolling like an early 8-bit on it's death bed... I think I'm ready for that all to go away.



    The iPhone used to be snappy, reliable, and a joy to use. Since 3.0 all that went out the window. Apple, I am still waiting for a fix.

    Maybe not, but they'll all of had to quit an app, be it a game, Facebook, a Twitter client, TomTom or anything else, to answer an IM, text, email, or phone call.



    A friend of mine has a G1 and has never used an iPhone. He was stunned when I told him my iPhone couldn't multi-task. He's just ordered a Nexus One and will I'm sure be only too happy to show me just how good it is when it arrives.



    Apple must know the iPhone is technically inferior to the competition, and with Jobs being the perfectionist he is that must really rub him up the wrong way. I wouldn't be surprised if iPhone version 4 was out in the Spring.

    Give it away. Obviously you are just not compatible with the iPhone and according to most of your posts, nothing that is Apple.



    Smells fishy to me.

    What fix? 3.0 is fine. What have you done to try to resolve your issues?

    What have I done? Had the iPhone replaced 3 times. Rebooted each one about every 2 days. Reinstalled iTunes multiple times. Switched from Vista to Win 7. Restored the iPhone more times than I can remember.



    I don't know what else I can possibly do. It used to work great. Now it doesn't.



    Oh I should also add I just love the sync times with iTunes 9. 5 minutes to sync with no new content to copy over at all. Just epic. Oh and my PC, while not state of the art, is respectable. (Core 2 Quad 2.6ghz, 4gb RAM, about 8tb HD space etc.)

    Sorry if I offended your fanboy sensabilities. I have owned Apple products for well over a decade now, and had great ones (old school iPods, the iPhone at launch, the MacBook), mediocre ones (AppleTV, Airport Extreme), and terrible ones (iPhone OS3, iTunes 9, any system 7 based Mac).



    They have their ups and downs like any company, but I feel lately the downs have been growing. Perhaps Jobs is too focussed on the tablet to give a damn about anything else anymore.

    Trolling to me.

    How the hell do you format an iPhone? I know how to do a restore and how to install an update, but format?

    Oh please, stop being so childish.



    I don't see the point of coming onto forums to sing the praises of things. If something is working, I don't talk about it. My Macbook works, hence I rarely, if ever, post anything about it. My iPhone used to work, so I said little, if anything about it. Now it's a train wreck, so I'm moaning. Arguably this too, is pointless, but a good rant relieves stress.



    And what on earth are you picking up on my HD space comment for? Yes I have a lot of HD space, spread over 5 drives, 3 internal, 2 external. Is that a problem for you?



    If anyone is trolling, it's you.

    Formatting is the actual erasing of the drive, even if it?s just the MBR for a quick format. I think iDevices simply rewrite the OS without doing any formal formatting of the drive.
