Apple is going to fix the huge dropped call problem with software. ‘Round and about the blogosphere the reports of reports are far more abundant than reports of problems. It’s hard to get a number of how many people are having trouble with the new iPhone 3G.
Estimates range as high as 68 people having dropped calls on a regular basis.
