DHH on iPhone 2.0's Glitches
Merlin Mann | Jul 23 2008
iPhone 2.0: The glory wore off in wash - (37signals) [via DF] While acknowledging the complexity of Apple's ambitious launch, David Heinemeier Hansson says iPhone 2.0 wasn't ready for prime time on a number of levels.
David also has a laundry list of complaints on stability and performance. I went through his items and ticked off each of the ones I've also noticed (with a 01-10 for how big a problem it's been for me):
I'll also add a few of my own:
Hm. I hadn't really thought about all these at once, but, yeah. That's a big bunch of broken. Let's hope an update is out soon that addresses some of these. 25 Comments

Slow backupSubmitted by scruffy on July 24, 2008 - 2:57pm.
good news: i was experiencing the extremely slow backup every time i sync'd my phone. after a restore the backup time was reduced dramatically so that it's not really a problem for me anymore. maybe just deleting the backups and starting from scratch would help. bad news: since upgrading to 2.0 on my Original iPhone, i've experienced a lot of dropped calls and signal strength does not seem to be as good as before. more bad news: i've seen the phone restart while it was sleeping, and one time when i was receiving a call it just vibrated without the ringtone sounding (it wasn't set to silent, the ringtone was one of the stock ones) and i couldn't answer until the call had gone to voicemail--the phone was completely unresponsive. i think there is a lot of funk in the OS and maybe the apps are being unfairly blamed. more good news: on a positive note, i sync my phone on 2 different computers. i have a mini set up as a media center where all my music resides. my office mac has my podcasts. it used to be that syncing to the music computer would wipe the podcasts off the phone, but since 2.0 it leaves my podcasts alone. so it's nice not having to re-sync podcasts on the office machine after syncing music. » POSTED IN:
