		<description><![CDATA[Less than a month ago I purchased the iPhone 3G 16GB. The phone came with the 2.0 software which was continually bouncing (every couple of seconds, while the phone was sitting on a table) between 3G and Edge data networks.

After sitting for several minutes the computer would restart and begin the loop all over again. The same thing happened when booting into safe mode. Without access to safe mode the [...]]]></description>
