More 3G reception problems reported

The spotty reception problems (dropped calls, weak signal strength and slow surfing speeds) reported (mainly in the US) with Apple's iphone may not have been redressed by the release of 2.0.2 firmware patches, according to a computerworld report. In addition, similar reception problems are also now reported to be hitting the newly introduced 3 G standard RIM Blackberry Bold as well. So it may not be the Apple manufacturing process that is the culprit (as first suspected). Rogers is denying any widespread problems with either Bold or iphone reception on its Canadian data network.
