[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1285549"] There isn't really an answer to this problem. I have an unlocked original iPhone running 3.1.3, the last version it CAN run, and haven't run into the problem with compatibility you mention (though some apps are just plain not possible to work with such an old iPhone, so I don't use those). The reason I hated jailbreaking and unlocking was that you had to repeat the (often elaborate) process EVERY. SINGLE. TIME a new update came out. I was relieved when 3.1.3 came out because that was the last-ever time I had to go through all that. IIRC, the 3G doesn't perform well under iOS 4, so you're kind of in the same boat. I've never had the "impossible to connect" message so I can't help you there, but I would suggest you update to 3.1.3 and re-unlock using [URL="http://iclarified.com/unlock/index.php"]this tutorial[/URL] and just leave that phone there. Any apps that still don't work can be stored in iTunes for when you get a newer iPhone that will let them work again. In the meantime, don't update your apps unless you're sure they are still compatible -- just leave them "frozen in time" with your iOS. Bottom line: if you want to return to full functionality, you're going to have to get a newer iPhone and hope there's an unlock (or its factory-unlocked, should be pretty easy to find one of those in Italy!) for whatever baseband its using.
