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!
