Catherine Unfortunately you're not alone. This has been a lot of people's experience upgrading their 3G phones including mine. In the end I aborted it and resynched my phone after unchecking most apps and music, restarted my laptop and then tried again which then finally worked.
It is doing something but albeit extremely slowly. You can watch it's painful progress by opening the MobileSync folder. When I loaded my apps again I'd lost a lot of settings and when I opened mail it downloaded again all the mail it had already downloaded before. Not sure I'd recommend the upgrade on a 3G but the unified inbox and threaded option in mail is nice. Digital zoom is rubbish and folders might suit you with lots of apps. Ability to create playlists is also nice. I'd be interested in your impressions of it once you finally complete it. Performance does seem slightly reduced in some places - camera especially. All that said. I think it's actually put me off upgrading my phone to the new handset. Especially now I've discovered it's only a portrait orientation lock. I want a landscape one for when I'm watching iplayer or tvcatchup in bed! Good luck!
