Response by poster: Thanks - it wasn't even responding to that before, now it is, I guess I panicked and hadn't held both long enough.

Best answer: Gizmodo has a post up on how to downgrade your phone if iOS 4 is doing bad things to it.

When you upgraded to iOS 4, did you just have iTunes load it on?
Or did you do a full restore to load iOS 4?
I went the full restore rout and it's working very well.

Response by poster: Tried to restore 3x (including a MacBook reboot) which failed (error message 1602) - and it won't let me shut down to get into DFU mode - any ideas?

Response by poster: Ok, just an update and then I'll be quiet. I eventually got the lifehacker post brainmouse links to work. Just be very diligent following instructions and I found it easier to simply download the old iPhone update that is linked rather than search for it.
