Installing Apps on First Gen vs 3G

[ubersalad]

My 3G phone has once again freeze at the Apple logo when I tried to download a simple program straight from my phone. So I swapped my phone while restoring the damn thing, and started playing with the first gen.

First thing I did was tried downloading Tap Tap to mess around, and for a second I thought my eyes deceived me. The game was downloaded and installed within 10 seconds, and it was ready for playing! So I tried again with another program, this one was smaller, so it took even less time!

My question is then, how exactly is 3G different that I cannot install/update apps direct from my phone without crashing and restoring?

It's the buggy 2.0 software trying to work with 3g.

Just wait for an update.

That's what I am asking. What component in 3G is causing the crash, whereas first gen is working fine.

Who knows? My 3G installs Apps fine from the App store directly from the phone and so did my first gen iPhone. It has something to do with the 2.0 firmware being buggy. Maybe something with you iPhone is causing it to behave that way even tough it isn't really broken.

We all know it's the damn firmware. It just doesn't make sense that the biggest selling point for new 3G is the ability to download apps. First gen is doing it perfect, and 3G will take 10 minutes to install with risk of freezing your phone.

I am very interested to find out why.

I am not asking those without the answer, I am hoping to see a response from someone that might...
