Multiple iPhone Sync Application Issues

I have two iPhones. One for me and one for my wife.

Of course, we do not want to use the "identical" applications or task the phone by holding "all applications" on both. Yes - the phones take forever to boot and shutdown when there's 3 screens of applications present - even when we don't want that many. This is without going into all the applications that are hanging and/or freezing. (ESPECIALLY the original mail app)

Therefore, why can I not choose which applications I want on each individual iPhone? I can do it with my music. It's a pain in the *** everytime we sync with iTunes wanting to know whether to transfer or not - and God forbid you check to never see it again as you'll lose all control. Sure, we can d/l the apps over wifi and choose not to sync, but then how do we back that info up? 😉

Also, I do not want everything wiped from the freakin' iPhone just because I say "don't sync" the applications! Who's the idiot that decided that meant to delete everything?! Real brilliant.

What is the deal? Is there a fix in the works for any of this? This release and it's issues are really very premature on iTunes/Apple's part. I can't believe they released this update with such major issues. Does no one at Apple R&D own two iPhones?

Apple, if you are listening, there are a boatload of issues in this update. We need fixes and fast. I have not gone into any except the one's I am personally dealing with; but for the love of God - read these boards and get an update going yesterday!

I do not like the feeling that my service (which was absolutely fine outside of AT&T part in the mix) is at the mercy of Apple updates that hamper my equipment. I cannot revert to v1 to avoid the v2 issues and again have a healthy phone. That's just plain dumb. Get crackin' and do a lot more testing before releasing new versions! You should have seen all this - it's very basic workflow for the phone.
