post 2.29.405.5 update problems - stock sim free desire never rooted

Having problems since update. Sypmtoms:

WiFi drops and will not reconnect - opening wifi shows it scanning, finding my home network, hanging on optaining ip address, shutting down, restarting and continuing in this loop.

Phone has dropped mid call a couple of times. Clicking an entry in call list doesn't make call - same (nothing) happens when trying to launch call from contacts.

Keyboard entry is dead - pops up when search box / note / any other text entry clicked but not text you type appears.

All this happens periodically and all normal in between. Other apps / functions seem ok when it happens. It seems to be a loop / spool as calls that failed as above spontaneously make themselves around 20 minutes later.

Trying to narrow it down to an app conflict and have removed prime candidates (wifi/airplane toggles etc) but no help.

Feels more like a radio issue but I guess that wouldn't effect the keyboard.

Anyone else?
 
just got another OTA update pushed to me. installed (nothing to loose) and Congratulations my phone has been updated to 2.29.405.5.

Not sure whats going on here as that was the update I got 2 days ago. This time round it was only 4.8mb download so I'm assuming it's an update update. Hope it fixes things .....
