iPhone 3G Lag is intolerable! Video examples included.

We are a couple of swedish guys that have been talking about the Iphone 3G since we bought it and then we started to compare the old phone and the new and everyone had extreme problems in lag in the interface on the Iphone 3G compared to the 1st Gen Iphone. So we decided to make a video so people can really see and compare.

This lag that people are having is not the only problem but is followed by Applications crashing, OS is freezing, safari going haywire. touch not responding.

Also ive gotten info that upgraded 1st Gen Iphones that have updated to 2.0 is getting the same lag.

Anyone who can reproduce this?

I'm guessing it may be a database issue.
Contacts uses a db, larger lists are slower. the typing hits a dictionary db . . . . im just guessing but it seems like a possibility.

My chat is OK when I don't access the contacts information. My Contacts is SLOW. That is one app I use a lot . . . . so hopefully a fix is put out soon.

(I had the same exact issue on my gen. 1 original iPhone after I upgraded to 2.0 and I had the issue on my G3 when I bought that one.)

I have the first gen with 2.0 on it and the lag is very annoying also. Mainly on the contacts screen, but also with typing. When the contacts display I click on a name, sometimes two or three times before it comes up because of the lag and sometimes one of the clicks happens to be on the phone number after the contact comes up.

Another place I see bad lag on 1.14 and 2.0 firmware that has always bugged me was when you are in Safari, then click on the address bar and want to type in a new url, when you click the X to delete the current entry it takes something like 5 seconds before it goes blank and you can start typing the url.
