On Friday, Apple released a new iPhone 2.1 software update designed to tweak some of the handset’s features and fix a variety of bugs. For some iPhone 3G owners, the most troubling issue has been consistent problems with 3G connectivity — dropped calls, trouble switching from 3G to EDGE cellular services, and an inability to use 3G in areas that seem to have solid 3G signals for other cell phones. For others, the battery life has been dismal. Many have complained that backing up the phone via iTunes took longer than it should.
