A while ago I installed iOS4 on my iPhone3G, despite the fact that is was working fine. Since then it has not worked properly. It is so slow it is unusable.
Today I tried to update to 4.0.2. This has been installing for over an hour and seems stuck at about 55% of the progress bar on the iPhone.
Does that mean it is now completely broken? Is it likely to move on eventually, or is that stuck?
I think unless I can get iOS4.1 to install and unless that makes it work again I shall probably give up on the iPhone. A new iPod Touch as a PDA and a compact and ordinary phone seems a better bet than paying a huge amount for an iPhone4 which also doesn't work properly. The only disadvantage is I lose 3G browsing, but I have that on the iPad anyway.
What happened to Apple and 'it just works'. Last time that happened was the iPad, which I admit is still awesome.
Short of hitting it with a hammer, is there anything I can do now to get this useless iPhone working again please? I assume I can't downgrade now I have iTunes10?
