Until now, Apple has been relatively quiet regarding iPhone 3G connectivity issues that have caused a quite a stir. Ed Baig of USA Today received word from Apple spokeswoman Jennifer Bowcock that Apple's latest update was indeed aimed at correcting iPhone 3G connectivity problems. "The software update improves communication with 3G network", said Bowcock.

There is still a lingering concern after several news reports that the issues are related to a faulty 3G chipset, an issue that might not be solved by a software update. An email that was alledgly from Steve Jobs, said this issue affected only 2% of iPhone owners. In our iPhone 3G Reception Poll , almost 70% of respondents had experienced dropped calls and/or network switching between EDGE and 3G.
