I have an iPhone 3GS, which Apple automatically installs their new 4.01 OS on when you do a regular upgrade. I wish there was a way to keep the old one (like keeping XP on your PC), here's why:
1. things run slower
- I find every app or software on my phone runs slower, except the camera (but see point #2)
- email, Safari, etc. - they all run a little slower with some added glitches
2. it takes 3-5x longer to load an APP, especially the camera
- for some reason, the camera shoots a fast pic once it's on
3. email software is too complex
- I now have 2 sets of folders
- I actually like seeing all my mail from 3 accounts in one
- but the I need to go back to make sure I know where it's from
- they've added a following system - so they keep email conversations together
- this can be nice, but then gets too complex
4. as soon as you move an icon over it creates a folder
- this stinks, I've had to undo that so many times
- they should have had a screen pop: are you sure you want to create this folder
5. multi-tasking is not that efficient
- but how long does an app stay open
- when do you really close it
6. there's no more double click to your favorite phone numbers
- as a former BB user, I though iPhone had way to many steps to actually make a call
- plus you need to touch too many buttons to get the speaker or dial pad on
- at least they had the double button touch to get favorites
- guess what, the new OS removed that b/c now double touch turns on multi-tasking
Although this could be a better 'phone', I do love my iphone for some app features, internet, and great screen. But this new OS didn't make it better. They should at least let you stick with the old system if you wanted to.
What do you think?
