Yup, me too. My iPod 2G is doing fine, but my iPhone 3G is noticeably slower than it was when running 'vanilla' 2.2.1 ... I had initially just done an upgrade, but then I did a full restore and set it up as a new phone. No change. So I restored the 2.2.1 backup I had made for just this situation and again, no change.
OS 3.0 is just slow.

There is no indexing in the iPhone 3.0's "Spotlight"
It's just a normal "file name" kind of search.

yup
that will deprive me of all my stored sms
You can buy an awesome program called PhoneView for mac. It was a part of the macheist bundle. Itll save all your SMS messages and allow you to import them after you update.

I've noticed my 3G running 3.0 is more sluggish on some actions, the same in others, and a bit smoother in other areas.
Can't say I'm overly surprised by this. Sure OS 3.0 is compatible with the original Iphone and the 3G, but it's probably degigned to work best with the 3GS with it's extra processing muscle, I guess similar to the way you needed the 3G to take the fullest advantage of OS 2.0.
On the other hand, maybe the new 3.0 release is still a bit buggy, and that's what the extra decimal places in version numbers are for

there has to be some sort of indexing. I doubt it combs through everything each time you search. the search would be really slow.

Actually, the 2G iPod touch was designed with OS 2.0 in mind; although the 3G launched with 2.0 it was the same hardware (SOC) as the original iPhone. Otherwise, yes - I think you're right, and I think that people expecting 3.0 to run better than 2.X on the 3G are deluding themselves.

Yes have 2x 3g and 1 x 2g in family. one 3g will not receive or send MMS, photos and the 2g does not have the option to send MMS, just normal texting. any ideas ?
MMS feature is not active yet in USA and probably in few other countries
where are u from?
u have any games which require a lot of processor power like Ferrari GT?
its extremely slow running the games

Does Zenonia count? Hmm..
When I close and quit my apps it really does get snappy, probably because I'm not really more into games? I don't know

I have not had any problems. It took a while for the MMS function to arrive from O2, but it is now working.
I have also enabled tethering and that is working as well.
All in all a great update. I also used netshare for a while and that was a great little program.

How about doing a backup followed by a full fresh restore (i.e. Don't restore the backup) and seeing how it runs, if it's still just as slow you can then restore your backup. If it does run better, just make sure you keep the last backup containing your SMS, so I you ever do need to access one you can backup your current system, restore the old one to access your SMS, and then when done just restore the current backup again. A bit long winded I know, but I'm guessing you just need the abily to access your old SMS rather than actually need to do it regularly.
i installed phoneview last nite and took a backup of my SMS....so i have them also in text file in my PC
only problem is i wont be having them in my phone
but i gotta live with it i guess
