Will ‘Bug Fixes’ Repair iPhone 3G?

Will ‘Bug Fixes’ Repair iPhone 3G?

As customers complained about dropped calls and slow data speeds, Apple released a software update for the 3G iPhone on iTunes.

Users hope new software to repair glitches will end their 3g problem.

The software, iPhone OS 2.0.2, is for “bug fixes,” but whether that includes the problems customers described to ABCNews.com is unclear.

So far, Apple has not returned calls for comment or released a statement on the matter.

The company has been tight-lipped, at least to reporters, about complaints of spotty service and potential hardware flaws on the new smart phone.

Last week, a company spokeswoman declined to answer ABC News’ questions about widely reported dropped calls, slow Web access and lack of access to AT&T’s 3G network voiced by readers to ABCNews.com.

In recent weeks, customer complaints about the smart phone, which was advertised with the slogan “Twice as fast. Half the price,” have reached a fever pitch online, even on Apple’s Web site.
