iphone possibly has faulty chip

I just read on one of the tech sites that the iPhone may have a faulty chip causing some of the problems. I am only repeating what I read on a tech email so I have no idea if this is true but I bet that it will be investigated.

Errr...ummm...that's been discussed quite a bit here already. Several threads already exists. But thx for willingness to share.

Sorry, I just got the email this afternoon. I will look for the other threads.

Yup, lotsa threads about this. Looks like (hopefully?) a software update will fix it instead of a (gulp) recall?

As it comes from Richard Windsor there might not be any defect to begin with. This is the same guy that said the touch screens were going to break down too and proceeded to wrongly explain how the touch screen works.

Which is what I said in the first place. It's an analyst with no inside info.

It's very likely poorly tuned software, OR, the simple fact that those of us on AT&T have known for a long time, but most iPhone users have refused to accept: the 3G network isn't fully deployed yet, and will take time to mature.
