iPhone 3G reception issues said to only be affecting 2% of iPhones

We have seen the recent reports that a software update will be coming soon to correct any of the reception issues that users are having with the iPhone 3G, but so far nothing official has come from Apple to confirm that.

This latest piece of the story is reported to have come from Apple, of course at this point I would consider it nothing more than an rumor, but it does at least fit with the previous reports.

At least one user claims to have received an email from Steve Jobs (more than likely someone on his behalf) claiming that they “hope to have a software update soon.” In addition it was also mentioned that the reception issues are affecting “around 2% of the iPhones shipped.”

Personally (knock on wood) I have not had any issues yet, but either way we can only hope that this email is indeed accurate, even with just 2% being affected that is a lot of people dealing with this issue. Certainly not what you want when you spent a few hundred bucks for the phone and tied yourself into a contract.
