Dropped calls plague iPhone 3G, and not just in U.S.

From New York to Stockholm, 3G iPhone owners are complaining loudly about connection failures - sometimes repeatedly - during calls. USA Today reports.

"The problem typically occurs when the device attempts to move from 3G to another network.

According to people familiar with the matter, the culprit appears to be the 3G chipset provided by Infineon Technologies.

AT&T and Apple are reportedly working on a software fix. The fix, which will be available remotely via iTunes, could be ready as early as this week, they said."
