What’s the deal with the iPhone 3G? I mean, I updated it and I’m still dropping calls like U.S. Olympic batons!

Bad Seinfeld jokes aside, Roughly Drafted has some information from “a source close to AT&T” as to why you may have updated your iPhone 3G and still don’t have your reception problems fixed.

Western Sweden’s largest newspaper, Göteborgs-Posten (or The Gothenburg Post for us American’s who have no idea how to pronounce words with dots above them), says there is nothing wrong with the antenna inside of the iPhone 3G. They were curious to check out just how well the antenna actually performs, so they did.

They used a testing chamber made by a company called Bluetest. The chambers are used by cell phone manufacturers to see how well phones receive and transmit data under certain circumstances without actually needing to go into the field.

Check out their findings after the break.

MacRumors claims to have an update to the ongoing iPhone 3G reception issues. The issues are said to affect about 2% to 3% of all iPhone 3G users. The problem manifests itself when there are a large number of 3G users on the same tower or when switching between 2 and 3G networks.

A poster on the MacRumors forums e-mailed Steve’s public e-mail address about the issue. Find out what Steve had to say after the break.
