the ringer is a rocker, and the vibrate is a toggle. Only the sleep/wake and home are "buttons".

Getting back to the thread, Parents baffle me sometimes. They were willing to pay $360 for your data plan if you picked a phone that was $100 cheaper? I completely understand why you picked the 3G, but that's just weird. Then again, my parents have pulled similar weirdness as well...

You also spelled 'fucking' wrong

You're allowed to curse on our forums, just not in the title or the sig. However cursing in the technical forums is frowned upon - we try to maintain a higher level of discourse.

lol sounds like a parental test... Don't worry, you passed.


I went from the 3g to 3gs and there is a noticeable difference even when typing out a txt or whatnot.. Which imo is bizarre - isn't the 3g like a >300ghz cpu? Hell it should be able to play doom wtf can't it type out a lag free txt?

Have any of the 3.0 and greater firmware updates helped this with the 3g?
If anything, OS 3.0 probably made it worse? My refurbed 3G is sometimes sluggish now, which I don't really recall when it ran OS 2.2! Restarting usually helps, so maybe a limited RAM issue?
