[iPhone 3G] Contacts freeze for 3 or 4 secs

Whenever I tap on Contacts, it takes 3 or 4 seconds before I can start scrolling or searching. Does anyone have the same problem? It's VERY annoying!

Mine was the same way when I purchased it, then I noticed that the phone shipped with build 5A345. That was actually beta 8, which often had the contacts lag when I was using it. If you restore your iPhone 3G from iTunes it will automatically download and install 5A347, the final 2.0 build.

I don't know why iTunes is not detecting the beta 8 issue, but at least it is an easy fix.

I don't have an issue with them installing a beta version on the iPhone initially, but they should tell you that you need to do a "Restore" before you sync, because iTunes does not differentiate between the builds and is going to inform all iPhone users that their phones are up to date, when they are not! I relied on iTunes' information that my iPhone was up to date, but I realized today that it is not! That is what has irked me about the release of beta firmware 2.0 on the iPhone 3G!
