Despite multiple software updates, a security hole that allows users to compromise the security of text messages sent to the handset remains. According to blogger Karl Kraft, the handset, if placed in emergency call mode, still allows full text messages to be visible, even if the SMS preview function is turned off. Kraft noted that the issue exists all the way up to firmware v2.1 (5F136), under the bug ID 6267416.

Apple recently unveiled three iPhone v2.0 patches, all of which claimed to resolve all outstanding issues with the device, but still some users are concerned that most issues were not properly addressed.
