Apple has confirmed that the 2.0.2 software update for the iPhone partly fixes the 3G connection issues.
Apple spokeswoman Jennifer Bowcock said on Tuesday, "The software update improves communication with 3G networks."
iPhone customers have complained about dropped calls and other connection issues with the 3G iPhone. Apparently these drops occur when 3G service becomes unavailable and the iPhone switches to Edge during a call.
NOTE***: If you plan to jailbreak or unlock your 3G iPhone please wait until PwnageTool is updated for 2.0.2. Do not upgrade via iTunes.

about the update part, ONLY if you have iPhone 2G ;)
the 3G's do get a baseband update as I recall, so don't do it if you're on 3G, for the rest, go ahead update, and leave here your comments ;)
