About Iphone

We’ve had very few problems with my iPhone 2.0 and subsequent 2.01 releases. But the Internet has been abuzz lately with people who are having lots of problems with the iPhone 2 software, especially overseas. Apple’s iPhone 2.0.2 update was supposed to help alleviate these problems….it didn’t. For me, it has caused more.

In fact, I am finding 2.0.2 to be the buggiest version of the iPhone software yet, including the 1.x versions. I’ve had to blow away my iPhone 3 times now - a few times because one of my 3rd party apps, which is over 100 megs, gets stuck in the middle of the update process. Another because it would just go at a snail’s pace even after a hard reset. It is still slow and clumsy.

Steve Jobs has written a few users who are concerned about the stability of the software, saying that September’s 2.1 update should alleviate many of the problems. He even said that 2% of the iPhones had bad firmware that would be updated. Apple seems to have even pulled some planned upcoming features in the name of stability.

So I am waiting with a slow and buggy 2.0.2 iPhone 3G. Apple, bring on 2.1, my iPhone is waiting!
