I wish I had never lost my original iPhone. Upgrading has been the biggest pain.

- Poor battery
- Dropped calls
- Lack of/inconsistent 3G (even in areas where signal should be fine!!)
- Syncing to iTunes takes and age!!
- Last night before I updated to 2.0.2, sycing started to freeze on the contacts sync. This is still the case…
- Random crashes, especially mobile safari.

My jailbroken original iPhone was much better from a user standpoint that the 3G.

The ONLY advantage, slighter better feel to the new hardware, nice to have GPS (nothing amazing yet without turn by turn) and the Apple Remopte app.

That's it, the rest has been woeful.

The only problem I've had so far was a complete loss of service one morning. A call to AT&T from the office revealed that the problem was in an inoperative cell tower that was fixed later that morning. Since then, solid signal strength, great call quality and elegance.
