Now I got 2 Iphones 3GS at home 16 and 32GB. Both of them got bass distortions on bass boost setting (Kanye West, John Legend, Notoroius etc, even on some Radiohead tracks)  I guess it's software fault, dunno how is it on 3G with OS 3.0 or previous one.
About battery... when I was playing with it like 5hrs internet(wifi) about 1h music, some videos, games, itunes etc battery needed recharging after about 16hrs. Now with music, some internet and calls (not so much) 2 days gone and still 50% battery. But yes internet drains battery v fast 
Got also bug with artworks in ipod library. Some covers became black, no picture when browsing horizontally (you can see cover when vert or in itunes). Also you can't see some album covers that are comming next. When you slide library they appear suddenly, like they got no angle view, only the front one. I've found somewhere on the internet that it's itunes fault...
Just my few things I've noticed as a new apple user. I've always used SE phones and I must say I prefer SE music quality more, that just my opinion  |

I've been reading around a little and there are a few people that are complaining about the sound quality of the iPod.app on the 3GS, even people going from the 3G to the 3GS said there is a reduction of quality, and it's distorted. My guess is it's, as you say, a firmware issue... If I were you submit a complaint direct to Apple. They need to know about this so it can be fixed.
Regarding the battery issues, after 16hrs of heavy use like you mention, it's normal for the battery to die! Welcome to a 3.5'' glorious touchscreen 
You also have things to consider like turning wi-fi searching off when you're not in a wi-fi area... turning 3G off when you're not in a 3G area... Push and fetching data too regularly also contributes. The brightness of the screen contributes

I'm fed up now! No O2 store in the UK has stock of the 16GB model, called O2 and the phone sales OR the online store have no stock either, Apple.com states dispatched in 5 day's, and Carphone Warehouse has started to sell PAYG but only in the 32GB model cause again they have no stock of the 16GB.
So I'm a bit buggered at the mo. Will just have to wait till next Thursday now I guess and then see If I can get one? Or perhaps CPW will get them on Tuesday. Can't believe how difficult it's proving just to get an iPhone.

I just bought a 16gb iPhone on payg from an o2 shop on Falkirk, scotland so they are available. Couldn't justify the extra £100 for the 32gb. Not when I am having to sell my omnia HD and still put more money towards it. Had a 3g iPhone before and since getting rid of it I have really missed it especially the games |

I have a few problems with my 3g S. The Facebook and Mail apps do not appear. I've removed facebook through itunes and reinstaledl gazillion times but it just doesn't seem to appear on the iphone. It only appears in the iTunes under applications and in the iPhones settings, which suggests it does get installed on the iPhone but just doesnt seem to appear! The Mail app icon has also disappeared I dont know where its gone!
I cant do a restore through iTunes as I moved home and Dont have full broadband connection. I'm using the iPhone tethering and dont want to risk too much data usage as I've not subscribed to the tethering addon. Has anyone experienced any apps missing? Are there any other solutions than restoring?
