I used to get 1 bar of 3G or 1 bar of EDGE at home. The mis-handoff that was constantly happening render the phone useless unless I turned of 3G... then it would happily stay at 1 bar EDGE all the time.

I now get 0 bars of edge (though I can still make a call and connect to data very slowly- apparently 0 bars =/= no signal) However, when I go to 3G I get "No Service" and the phone won't even try to swap to the 0 bar EDGE.

Contacts is snappy. No SMS lag. However, that's been my experience after any back-up and restore for a while until the bit-rot starts up again.

Seems like nothing new: move along. I'd skip it (since I had better reception with 2.0.1- I'll be going back to that... right now)]]>Aug 18th 2008 7:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/18/iphone-firmware-2-0-2-is-out-and-angry/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/18/iphone-firmware-2-0-2-is-out-and-angry/Aug 18th 2008 9:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/18/iphone-firmware-2-0-2-is-out-and-angry/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/18/iphone-firmware-2-0-2-is-out-and-angry/
I had several generations of Sony Ericsson phones including K800, 850 and W800 all of which crashed on a regular basis, all of them were replaced at least once if not twice by my provider becuase they had 'known issues'. My partner has Nokia phones including a 6111 and several others which were lacking absic features and had the worst navigation in the world.

I know it's fashionable to be an Apple hater, more than being a fan boy now, but it may help to put any judgement of a product within the context of the rest of the field!]]>Aug 19th 2008 5:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/18/iphone-firmware-2-0-2-is-out-and-angry/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/18/iphone-firmware-2-0-2-is-out-and-angry/Aug 18th 2008 5:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/18/iphone-firmware-2-0-2-is-out-and-angry/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/18/iphone-firmware-2-0-2-is-out-and-angry/Aug 18th 2008 5:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/18/iphone-firmware-2-0-2-is-out-and-angry/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/18/iphone-firmware-2-0-2-is-out-and-angry/Aug 18th 2008 6:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/18/iphone-firmware-2-0-2-is-out-and-angry/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/18/iphone-firmware-2-0-2-is-out-and-angry/

This is what I noticed so far

* More 3G bars (It seems)
* Snappier transitions
* No More keyboard lag! (2.0.1 didn't fix it)
* Haven't has a crash (yet)

off to test the phone!

- Went to a room where previously had only a couple of 3G bars but NO 3G data access whatsoever. (EDGE worked fine.)
- Now in the same room I get 3 bars with 3G and FAST data!!! Finally I can browse there too. :-)

Good start .... will need more testing. Exciting!

Just had my first two phone call.... No dropped calls (yet)

I went outside and tried GPS:

GPS found me faster than before... 15 seconds where yesterday it took my around 30-40 seconds in the same place...

No scrolling lag in contacts either

More later....]]>Aug 18th 2008 5:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/18/iphone-firmware-2-0-2-is-out-and-angry/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/18/iphone-firmware-2-0-2-is-out-and-angry/
