Is your iPhone 3G running slow/sluggish now that you have upgraded to iOS4? I have compiled a list of things to help you speed up the 3G until Apple releases an update (if they even bother).
1. Turn it Off! - A simple restart often does the trick: Hold the power switch down until a slider appears to power off. After it shuts down simply press the power button to power up hopefully with added speed!
2. Double Hard Reset - Hold the home button and the on/off switch until the Apple logo appears, after the phone reboots do it again.
3. Make sure Safari doesn't have lots of pages left running, these all use up valuable RAM and Safari is one of the very few apps that are allowed to multitask on the 3G.
4. Disable Spotlight search - if you don't need search facilities on your iPhone turn it off by unticking all the items in Settings>General>Home Button>Spotlight Search.
5. Disable MMS (Multimedia Messaging) - I never use it and I don't know anyone who does due to the excessive charges so turn it off by going to: Settings>Messages>MMS Messaging and slide it to OFF.
6. Clear Safari Cache - This should be done regularly: Home Screen > Settings > Safari > Clear Cache.
After you disable any or all of the above try the double hard reset if you don't notice any speed change.
If none of the above works for you and you want to go back to iOS 3.1.3 try the following link: http://lifehacker.com/5572003/how-to-downgrade-your-iphone-3g%5Bs%5D-from-ios-4-to-ios-313
