In my iPhone I still have iOS 4.0.2. I was using 4.2 on the other iPhone, and 4.0.2 seems to be working smoother than 4.2. Is is true?
 
Iv found the latest OS to be a whooooleee lot stabler and better in my experience.
 
So, is there difference between restoring [with new soft] and installing a new clean software?

Do you ever contribute at all to any thread? All you seem to be posting is pro-Apple crap.

@OP My iPhone4 (4.2) runs as quick as my other iPhone4 running 4.1. However, I restored to 4.2 rather than just update. Try restoring.
 
Yes, answering to my question?

Will iPhone be slower without installing a clean soft, than with a restore?

I wouldn't upgrade because you'll lose your unlockable baseband. I think as of now there isn't any way to upgrade to 4.2 while retaining baseband (one person mentioned a method before but I'm not sure how reliable that was)
 
But why do I need unlockable baseband?

Is that only for JB and Cydia?

Restore to 4.1 if you have your SHSH saved in tiny umbrella.

iOS 4.2 started out fine for me, but after using it for a month now, I've noticed that it lags quite a bit. If Apple doesn't release 4.3 soon, I'll go back to 4.1.

So far, in my opinion, 4.1 is the best of iOS 4 releases.

Due a google search for "iOS 4.2 slow" and you'll see a plethora of threads and articles about the subject. It doesn't seem to effect everyone, but for me (someone who has restored my iphone as a new phone 3 times now under 4.2), I find the latest iOS to be slow, slow, SLOW. My screen animations are choppy and sometimes my keyboard lags behind my typing. I really dislike the fact that iOS 4.2 has made my brand new iPhone 4 seem antiquated.

I'm hoping 4.3 will cut the fat and streamline things a bit.

my ip4 came with 4.1 and this is why i fear upgrading iOS' :(

ive noticed this a few years back with my ipod touch 2g, after upgraded the os a couple of times things start to lagg and run slow.
 
I recently went back to 4.0 and I'm glad I did. 4.1 was a battery sucking lag fest. Now I hear 4.2 is bad as well. I'm enjoying smooth sailing and nice looking signal bars again. It's a good thing I had my SHSH saved, anyone else who does I recommend 4.0.
 
4.2.1 is so slow in my opinion.

If the homescreen icons are jiggling and I click the home button to get them to stop, it takes a full 8 seconds for them to stop. It use to be instantaneous. Opening folders is also slower. The keyboard frequently lags. Multitasking tray typical only pops up after a 4 - 5 second delay after double clicking the home button.

All this on an iPhone 4, never jailbroken.
