Yup that sounds about right according to OP's complaining. Let me guess whats next another thread full of people complaining about the new EDGE and 3G symbals not being in boxes anymore....
Got a tip for us?

I guess I'm used to Apple's hardware getting FASTER with software updates. The iPhone 3G took a dive.
Let's see
Tiger was faster than Panther Leopard was faster than Tiger and Snow Leopard was faster than Leopard
I'm just saying Apple's used to optimizing their software for a wide range of machines it's not fair that they only optimized the graphics performance for the 3GS.
Also why does the fly-away effect work on 2.2.1 no matter what you're doing? I can be listening to music and everything's still pretty smooth I can't say that about 3.1 though. Everything starts stuttering all over the place.
Does anyone get what I'm saying? It's just too bad that Apple still sells the iPhone 3G but they can't get the new software to run well on it. It's pathetic really especially for Apple.

Pretty crappy analogy, in my opinion. You're trying to say that new software should run faster on older hardware, though it's a pretty cruddy example at that; it's not like you can test Snow Leopard (the 'new' software) on a computer running Panther (the 'old' hardware). A better statement would be from Panther to Leopard, or Tiger to Snow Leopard, at least that doesn't run through a glaring hardware incompatibility
It is all about choices. We rarely in life ever get all that we want. Get used to it.

I highly doubt it. Sadly, you would just find something else to go on and on and on about.

On the SAME machine Leopard was faster than Tiger and then Snow Leopard was faster than Leopard. That's using the same hardware I bought in 2006!
I have 3 year old computer that is faster now than the day I bough it.
No - the computer is exactly the same speed. The software is more streamlined.
For example- a 2.66 mhz computer is a 2.66mhz computer no matter what you do to the software. The speed does not change. Performance changes.
The bottom line is - TheSpaz - and this isn't me bashing you. You'll never be happy. You thrive on the internal conflict you create within yourself whether to upgrade/not upgrade and every permutation under the sun. The you have your act out your internal monologues here - Equivalent to the people who mutter to themselves when people are walking by hoping someone will overhear them and want to talk to them about whatever they are rambling about.
Yes - you're obviously posting within guidelines or you'd be deleted (or perhaps you're not being reported). I still strongly suggest you get a blog. I know many who would read it!
I know the computer's hardware is the same speed, but newer software gave me BETTER performance and Apple usually optimizes their software like that so why the heck did performance decrease on the same hardware that ran 2.2.1 so beautifully? I'll tell you why it's because Apple concentrated on making the iPhone 3GS run as good as possible and left it at that it's as if Apple doesn't even care about the iPhone 3G anymore at all. I don't see them optimizing the software for it.
Also, to the people who thought I said that I didn't use copy and paste I DO use copy and paste but not a lot. There have been a few times where I'll text somebody something and then I want to tell someone else but I have to re-write the entire text again to tell them I could have copy and pasted that.
Also, I'm never giving up my iPhone 3G because it has a perfect screen, perfect build quality and perfect graphics on 2.2.1 I just really wish I could use copy and paste in 2.2.1 because that's where my iPhone runs the best.
To be truthfully honest, no, I have not read many tech stories about the first gen iPhone or 1.0 for that matter.
As you said the first iPhone some lacked features. I was alluding to that fact.
In thinking more about what we both said, and I should rephrase what I posted.
Many things that Apple called "features" have been around in even the most basic phones 6 years ago. While the full* web in your pocket was amazing, the iPhone fell short in its main function, a phone. "Features" such as forwarding text messages, distinguishing between incoming and outgoing calls, individual call times. I felt lost with out these features.
I love the iPhone, don't get me wrong, and this could be my just complaining, but when something that you are use to is gone, especially something as simple as text message forwarding, it is frustrating. But I have learned that this is Apple's way.
im glad they made os 3.0. all those features included FINALLY made the iphone comparable feature wise to the previous phones ive owned. that is why i got a 3GS now. cant wait to see what they'll improve for 4.0...hopefully a new UI or something - i would love to see what apple can do with multitasking (who knows?) or new features.
well i never had 2.2.1 or whateva it is.....got my 3G with 3.0 on it....upgraded to 3.1 and noticed it was horrible...and just downgraded back to 3.0.1 today. and notice how much smoother it is.
I have to completely agree with you on the 2.2.1 deal. Even when i upgraded from 3.0.1 to 3.1 on my 3gs(3.x supposed to optimized for 3gs) i felt like it was very choppy with graphics and i never felt that way on 2.2.1 with my 3g when i had it.
Unfortunately, they HAD to come up with 3.0 before jumping to 4.0 from 2.0 man.
So that was inevitable. lol
Oh and for those who are whining about the 1.0 and 2.0 not being good and 3rd generation products supposed to be good, 3rd generation iPhone was the SAME EXACT body/design of the 2nd generation if you didn't know (sarcasm).
