The upgrade to Apple's iPhone OS version 4 (iOS 4) went relatively well on my 3G model, but it took some time.
About two hours.
Downloading the roughly 250MB file went fairly smoothly this evening. In the broad strokes, the update first performs a
full backup — apparently including your music and videos — , followed by the iOS 4 install. The phone restarted, then
the apps were put back on. The phone restarted again, then restored the data, followed by the music and video content.
That last step seems to be taking twice as long as the initial backup, if one can believe that. Then once everything
appeared to be done, the fool thing started syncing again to iTunes... which meant (wait for it)... another backup!!
At least the software version in iTunes reads "4.0."
