Where did u get the facts that "WIFI reception on 2.0.X is pretty bad as compared to 1.1.4"?

I don't see any degradation in the WIFI signal going from 1.1.4 to 2.0.X. Maybe you can point us to the source of your claim?

FW2.0.X is not only for push email and echange support. There are other features included in the FW such as AppSupport which is the most obvious one.

It's up to you to upgrade to which firmware. Each firmware got its own pros n cons. FW1.1.4 still have lots of apps thats usefull but now most of the dev are abandoning 1.1.4 apps to port to Cydia 2/Installer 4 for FW2.0.X. FW2.0.X don't have the MMS, SMS Fowarding, etc apps from Installer/Cydia but they will be slowly ported later. FW2.0.X also include apple own installer called AppStore where u can install/download free and paid apps.

It's true that another firmware upgrade is just around the corner but in the end it you that's gonna make the decission.

What method did u use to unlock the phone when it was 1.1.X last time?

From what i've read in the forum that you gave, it's not the fw2.0.X thats causing the havoc with wifi, its something else. If its the fw then there would be tons of complaints here. Right now most of the people that i see, talk, chat or pm does not have any problem with their wifi except for you. Maybe its a different case with your phone. Hope its nothing serious or hardware malfunction.

Maybe you can open a thread on 1.1.4 vs 2.0.X so we can discuss it in a mature way (so no flaming there ok). This can be an insight for others whether to stay at 1.1.4 or upgrade to 2.0.X. We can also discuss your problem with your wifi. 2.0.X is not at fault as I can see people using 1.1.X also having this.

I've encountered the "phone need repair" situation last time when i left the phone not in sleep mode for the whole night. Maybe it was overheating or something but a normal reboot solve my problem. As for you, you can try restoring back to 1.1.4 or like other suggest, since you are restoring the phone, why not thry the new FW instead. Its just a suggestion from others and like david said, the ball is in your court. Whatever you do or decide, in the end the phone is still your phone.

p/s - software upgrades are not perfect, so as the programmers that made it. Sure they patch up an old bug but unwittingly open another one, thats part n parcel of doing programming. I know as I myself is a programmer (part timer). There's no peice of software in this world that is bug free.
