This whole thing is a load of BS. A firmware update that breaks your phone if you apply it but doesn't break your phone if you don't is not a "bug fix" which is how the 2.02 update was treated. If it does need to be universally installed to fix stuff that Apple or ATT broke, they should have treated it as a mandatory service recall, not a patch. It's a nice idea, but honestly, there are people who didn't upgrade to 2.02 BECAUSE THEY KNOW it reduces the performance of their phone. All of this stuff is total BS.
