I’ve had pratically no problems with the 3G iPhone and only minor issues with a couple of apps since Day 1. Then I installed the iTunes 7.7.1 update when it came out. That’s when the troubles started. Luckily, the iPhone itself hasn’t been affected but the iPhone with iTunes experience has degraded.

It started with a constant and reproducible crash of the MDCrashReportTool. The following sequence causes the crash:

  1. Launch iTunes 7.7.1
  2. Connect the 3G iPhone
  3. This error comes up:

Next, I’ve had random errors when iTunes tries to update programs to newer versions. This is only one screen shot of the three I’ve seen so far in the last week.

Lastly, when there are app updates some apps will display multiple times on the App Update Screen in iTunes. Unfortunately, I didn’t grab a screen shot of this so I’ll have to wait until another app update is available.

All of this leaves me impatiently waiting for iTunes v7.7.2 which (hopefully) will “includes fixes to improve stability and performance” as Apple stated in the release notes for v7.7.1.
