hi all. so i've heard a lot of people talk about their iphone's slowing down precipitously, but not a solution to the issue. mine is now damn near unusable and EXTREMELY frustrating. i have the 3g version, and it is only about 6 months old. pretty much all the functions slow and even freeze on occasion. for example, if i press the "messages" icon, it takes about 10 seconds for my text messaging app to open. i press the google maps button, it's about the same. i have not quite 3 'pages' of apps (about 47 of them), which is hardly a ton of apps comparatively. i don't do anything unusual or taxing with it. my point is that i don't think i fall in the camp of a fringe user who bangs away on the abilities of the iphone. i'm beginning to think it is just a seriously shitty mobile phone that barely works most of the time.
any input? is apple replacing these when this happens? thanks for the help.

Shot down the iPhone and reboot.
It will clear out the RAM.

thanks, but that has done nothing at all. i've done that several times, unless you mean that regularly throughout the day i should reboot my phone, in which case that is not cool.

No, there shouldn't be a need to do it all the time. Every now and then only - I do it like once in every two weeks.
I also have the iPhone 3G, had it for more than a year, and switched to OS 3.1 as soon as it came out.
I'm not experiencing the issues you have.

I blame Bush. 8 years of failed foreign policy and now we have screwed up iPhones.

Did you jailbreak and/or install apps from somewhere other than Apple's app store?

This helped my 3G out when it started to crawl:
Reset all settings is located at Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
I still restart mine once a day, but I'd highly recommend doing the reset all settings.
