iPhone OS 2.0.2 Released; Fails to Fix 3G Reception Issues; App Problems

Apple has released iPhone OS 2.0.2 with its obligatory but unhelpful release notes indicating only "bug fixes."

Unfortunately, a resolution to widespread, frustrating 3G reception issues is not among those fixes. In fact, some users have reported that the update manifests poorer 3G reception that 2.0.1, with devices now giving a "No Service" message in previously 3G-accessible locations.

iPhone OS 2.0.2 can be installed by attaching your iPhone to your Mac then clicking the "Update" button. Based on current reports, however, the benefits may not outweigh the risks.
