iPhone 2.0.2 software does not solve 3G issue

Apple released iPhone 2.0.2 software this week.  The release is a feature free - bug focused release.  While details of the release were sparse on Apple's web site, an Apple spokesperson acknowledged fixes related to 3G reception.  Don't be fooled by any means that this addresses AT&Ts abysmal 3G coverage.  A class action lawsuit was filed in Alabama against Apple claiming Apple misrepresented the phone's ability to delivery enhanced speeds on the 3G network.  This is unlikely to have any legs.  Consider how many wireless customers sign up for service for a "nation wide network" only to find it doesn't mean the entire nation.  It's all in the small print, friends.  Let's hope AT&T is actively building their 3G network not only in new areas, but filling the holes in existing areas.
