I have had the iOS 4 on my iPhone 3g for almost 24 hours and haven't noticed anything weird or off the wall. I did notice that not much in iOS 4 is available on the 3g. No multitasking for one. I had some problems with Exchange, but a reboot of my phone fixed that.

I also didn't have any problems either. I'm currently using the gm seed, and it seems not much different (speed-wise) on my 3G compared to the previous OS version (I was using 3.1.2 before)

The GM seed is much better than some of the betas, but that's not saying much. Beta 3 on the 3G was especially bad.

But all in all I think the overhead of all these new features are slowly overwhelming the 3G. The only thing really worth it is mail threading.

(pure speculation:) It may be possible to install Mail.app without iOS 4.

Same here. It actually feels a bit snappier to me in many places.
