    But does anyone feel as though their iPhone has got significantly slower?



    My phone takes longer to start up, the apps store takes at least 1 minute to show any icons and apps generally take longer to open.



    Anyone having this problem?



    So far, everything seems a bit faster.

    AMEN!

    See my post above for the directions on how to update through iTunes when the file was downloaded manually.

    Thank you... I guess 30 minutes wasn't enough... I rebooted everything, then plugged back in for the intall process and it finally did it after some 20 mins or so.

    It was just weird because during the "backup" process, the progress bar just hung in the middle and didn't move for 30 mins. I thought it had frozen

    You need to keep trying to connect to the iTunes Store. It took me about 6-7 times and I kept getting the same error. Eventually it worked! With everyone and their brother trying to update/activate at once its putting a strain on the servers.

    Yep. Rebooting didn't help either. So I'm going to keep hammering at it and hope! I've gotten the error probably 20 times now, I'm on FIOS so it's not internet speed either.

    I've gotten iTunes to successfully download the 3.0 upgrade. But when I ask it to Update my iPhone (1G), I get an error message after extraction saying the "iPhone cannot be updated at this time because the iPhone activation server is temporarily unavailable."



    It says to try again later. I've been trying for the last 20 minutes.



    Anyone else seeing this?

You will have to take the .zip off it (DO NOT expand the zip file!) and then launch iTunes and hold down the option key while clicking check for update and it will pop a sheet down asking where the file is. Just point finder to the file.

    Where can I get a similar link for the iPhone 3G?



    I am stuck on beta 5 and don't have the GM version, so it still won't upgrade me since I technically have OS 3.0.



    Thanks

    Well I got through the whole download. It took about 15 minutes. My iPhone was automatically restarted and I got the "Network Connection Timed Out" and now I can only make emergency calls from my phone now. Anyone else having this issue? i am not receiving calls either. Do I have to go up to the AT&T store and re-activate it once I get the new OS downloaded?

    OK, well my first sync with iTunes finally finished (like I said, the backup took forever). The notes on my iPhone did not sync with the notes in Apple's Mail app, so I tried it again. I checked the Notes checkbox in iTunes and hit Apply, and it spun the beachball for a few seconds and then the Notes item unchecked itself, the iPhone synced, and still no updated Notes. Can anyone see if they can get this to work?

    The download started at 1:16 CDT & ended at 1:20 CDT. The software works as as advertised but 3 attempts to access the Store on my phone resulted in 3 error messages (shows "Error -4). Will try again later.

    The iPhone activation server is temporarily unavailable. I guess I'll have to get it when I get home from work! Blast!

    The 3.0 update has killed my iPhone. It's a brick now. iTunes store error or says "iTunes cannot connect with this iPhone" or something similar.



    How many other bricks out there already? Twitter is hopping about it at the moment.
