I'm not even going to bother trying on Monday. It's not worth the aggravation.

I don't think I've ever updated my phone on the day of release. As Tamara said, it can't possibly be worth the aggravation. In this case, I don't even have to worry though. Our two resident iPhones are both 1st generation--officially obsolete! LOL

VictoriaP, how are the touchscreens holding up on your 1st gen iPhones? My son was using mine for a while, but he said the touchscreen lost sensitivity around the "slide to unlock" area of the screen, making it difficult to use.

Are you doing it on three separate computers? It shouldn't redownload for each new device if they're being synced on the same machine.

Regardless, you can always update one phone and find the downloaded firmware; then option-click "Update" when you hook up the other phones and point it to the firmware.

Ooh, I remember that issue! I had it come up sporadically for a time last year; oddly, it was most notable on a sudoku app I was using. No idea what finally cleared it, but it hasn't affected things in quite a while.

I don't use a screen protector, so I find I do need to scrub at the screen with a bit of microfiber pretty regularly (same with the iPad). It tends to be less responsive when it's heavily fingerprinted. Other than that, the main issue is how incredibly slow the processing is at this point. Could just be the contrast to the iPad, could be that it's pretty close to capacity, but it definitely drags. I'm looking forward to the new one on Thursday for that reason!

Still, they've held up very well. Hubby has the 4 GB, bought just before the price drop that first summer, so his is now 3 years old. Neither has given us any trouble really, ever--we considered upgrading to the 3GS, but there just wasn't enough compelling reason to do so. I'll miss my $20 unlimited data + 200 texts though with the switch--going 3G means a $15 jump for that combo! (yes, we're grandfathered in for unlimited)

Yes, 3 computers-but as others have noted-no real hurry to update.

I seriously doubt that. The OS update is small fry compared with, say, the release of XP SP2.

Or the Victoria Secret Fall Fashion Show webcast, for that matter.

If it wasn't for AT&T not knowing how to handle a data load (see how poor their 3G really is), the net would have crashed on iPhone 4 upgrade day.
