Noticed a new piece of software …. ‘Antibitcher’, aimed at the cry babies and whiners who can’t cope over minor iPhone issues.

Grow the fsuk up, you babies.

Does it include the fix for the 3D reception bug?

I just completed my update an noticed the 3G signal in my house has more bars now than it did earlier today. Either a new base station tower was installed, or we now have better 3G!

I don’t have much drop calls in my area, but I do agree. All these 2 bit so called journalist bloggers to STFU. Your 15 min of fame and blog hits are coming to a halt.

There ARE problems with some of the iPhones. If you have one of these buggy one’s, then you know. I know because I have one. It’s very frustrating. Hopefully the update will fix the issues.

I haven’t installed it yet but just knowing that it has been released is already making my iPhone feel snappier.

I found another one, it’s called STFU idiot. The description reads “for those who paid a premium price for a phone and got sub-par performance, support, and mobile me empty promises. This software will not refund the lost hours of time trying to make a simple phone call, trying to send email, and false push promises.”

I think what it does is simply paint more bars on the screen so all the whiners will think they have a better connection. With 5 bars all the time folks will just think there is too much traffic and not blame Apple. Genius.

I hope it allows us to install more than a page or two of third party apps. The current iPhone isn’t stable enough to handle more than that. Or should I wait for 2.1?
The App store is great, I just want to use it more.

“what it does is simply paint more bars on the screen”
Thomas, that’s just toooooo funny!
Duh!

Does that mean that ‘Antibitcher’ will finally let us copy and paste?

Cool!

Just loaded my 2G iPhone with 2.0.2, and it’s doing OK. If a 3G network was in the mix, I ain’t a-knowin’ it.

I’m trusting Apple to fix bugs quickly, which they usually do. Despite a few glitches, I am completely happy with my iPhone after 13 and 1/2 months of use.

Second sentence should have said, “If a 3G network FIX was in the mix….”

I hope it fixes the bug that causes the little beastie to “over delete” when typing a message or email. I’m tired of hearing my S.O. gripe about it every time she tries to delete a word and watches as the cursor instead mows down a sentence or two or three.

Just loaded the update and no change in my bars, same 2 as before. Contacts do seem snappier.

AT&T;less bars in more places
