Yep, the new Apple mantra: Be glad we aren't worse!

This is EXACTLY how my 3G behaves running iOS4!!! I swear it was a cheap ploy to make me upgrade my phone to a 3GS, or iPhone 4. I can't keep using this thing. It's driving me nuts.
I downgraded my 3G, because of the freezes and the lag. Thank goodness that I had a 3G or I would've been stuck with iOS 4.
Have any of you folks tried this?

Love the video, it really does illustrate what life was like on my 3G/iOS4 "world of hurt"!
I love Apple products, but seriously, didn't Apple test the user experience of an iOS4 upgrade on the 3G before releasing to the public at large? This was a problem for me on day one, so its hard to believe the good folks in Cupertino didn't see this for themselves?
Fortunate enough for me, I have gotten an iPhone4 (thankfully no problems with dropped calls, death grip issues, etc).
Until Apple releases iOS4.1, does anyone know how to downgrade a 3G?
My wife (who still has a 3G) insists on a white iPhone 4, and that ain't showing up any time soon, so I would like to make her phone more responsive in the meantime.
The only upside of iOS4 on the 3G that I saw was folders, and that isn't a big deal for her.
Any tips on a downgrade path would be appreciated.
Can you please tell me how to downgrade the iOS? Can we demand that in a apple retail store?
Its simple, all you have to do is get the firmware version you want for the 3G (1,2) then you can probably just do a restore, but hold option then click restore, not sure what it is on the PC. Then just point to the FW you want and let it go. Simple. There are also TONS of videos tutorials on the web. A quick google search will find one.
Wow! I just turned the spotlight search off on all my apps (I never use it....ever) and it's a totally new phone. It was instant as soon as I turned them all off. Everything becomes a lot smoother. Everyone whom is struggling needs to try it. My phone was as bad if not worse than the one on that video.
Now, it's still not running great, but it is worlds different. It actually makes the phone useable again
My 3GS is running incredibly slow and seems to have lost some responsiveness when typing and entering URL's. It's very frustrating.
